Frequently Asked Questions
Why doesn't eSIM work? Make sure you have the Cellular version of the iPad, the device is unlocked from the carrier, and the QR code hasn't been activated before on another device.
How do I remove eSIM? Settings → Cellular → select plan → Remove Cellular Plan. After deletion, you cannot restore it with the same QR code — you'll need a new one from your carrier.
Can I transfer eSIM to another iPad? No, eSIM is tied to the device. To transfer it, contact your carrier and request a new profile.
