Frequently Asked Questions
Why won't eSIM activate? Most often, the reason is that your operator doesn't support eSIM on Pixel 6a, or the profile is already linked to another device. Contact your operator's support and request a new QR code.
How do I delete eSIM? Settings → Network and Internet → SIM cards → select eSIM → Delete. After deletion, you won't be able to restore the profile using the same QR code — you'll need a new one.
Can I transfer eSIM to another phone? No, eSIM profile is tied to the device. To transfer it, you need to request a new QR code from your operator and activate it on the new phone.
