I bought an eSIM, but I can’t install it

Written by Ashley Johnson

Short answer

Installation issues usually happen because the device is not compatible, the phone is carrier-locked, the eSIM is already installed, or the install link/code was already used.

Check first

  • Your phone supports eSIM.

  • Your phone is unlocked.

  • You are connected to stable Wi-Fi.

  • The eSIM is not already listed in phone settings.

If you need to reinstall

Open the app → Settings → Get Link to Install eSIM.

If you see an error

Please contact support and send:

  • whether this is the same phone or a new phone;

  • a screenshot of the exact error;

  • a screenshot of the SIM/eSIM list in phone settings.

Do not delete an eSIM during troubleshooting unless you are intentionally transferring/reinstalling it.
