Frequently asked questions
Why isn't eSIM working?
Most often the reason is that your operator does not support eSIM, the iPhone is locked to another operator, or the QR code has already been used. Check unlocking in Settings → General → About.
How to delete eSIM?
Settings → Cellular → select the desired plan → Delete Cellular Plan. After deletion, you cannot restore the same profile — you will need a new QR code from your operator.
Can I transfer eSIM to another iPhone?
No, direct eSIM transfer between devices is not supported. You need to request a new QR code from your operator and activate it again.
Where to buy eSIM for travel
If you're traveling abroad, it's most convenient to buy a travel eSIM in advance — without queues and searching for a local SIM card. You can choose a plan by country or region at e7m.ru — activation via QR code in a few minutes before your flight.
