Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn't eSIM working? Most often the reason is that the carrier has blocked the eSIM (carrier lock) or the profile was loaded incorrectly. Restart your device and try activating again. Make sure your phone is unlocked.
How do I remove eSIM? Settings → Network and Internet → SIM cards → select eSIM → Remove carrier. After deletion, the profile cannot be recovered — you will need a new QR code.
Can I transfer eSIM to another phone? No. eSIM is tied to the device. For a new phone, you need to issue a new profile from your carrier.
