Common Causes of eSIM No Service

Device Compatibility Issues

One of the most frequent causes of eSIM no service problems is device compatibility. To ensure smooth operation, verify that your device is listed on our eSIM supported devices page. Even if your device supports eSIM technology, it needs to be unlocked to work with international carriers.

Network Settings Problems

Incorrect network settings often trigger no service issues. When traveling abroad, your device needs proper configuration to connect to local networks. Make sure to:

  • Enable data roaming in your device settings
  • Select the correct network operator manually
  • Check if airplane mode is accidentally enabled
  • Verify that mobile data is turned on
