TL;DR

  • “This device doesn’t support eSIM” → Check device and carrier unlock.
  • “Cannot add profile” → Check Wi‑Fi, storage, whether QR was already used.
  • “Activation failed” → Check data roaming, APN, start condition (e.g. after arrival).

“This device doesn’t support eSIM”

  • Cause: Device doesn’t support eSIM or is carrier locked so overseas eSIM is blocked.
  • Fix: Check eSIM compatible devices. Ask carrier about overseas eSIM / unlock, then retry.

“Cannot add cellular plan” / “Cannot add profile”

  • Cause: Unstable Wi‑Fi, low storage, or QR/code already used (one-time).
  • Fix: Use stable Wi‑Fi, free up space, or use manual entry (SM‑DP+) if provider supports it.

“Activation failed”

  • Check data roaming ON for eSIM, cellular data set to eSIM, APN if required. If plan starts “at first local connection,” wait until you’re in the destination.
