eSIM Installation Troubleshooting Guide

We're here to help resolve your eSIM installation issues. Follow these verified steps to ensure a smooth setup process:

Device Compatibility Verification: Most modern smartphones support eSIM technology. Confirm your device is compatible by checking:
• iOS: iPhone XS/XR or newer (Settings > Cellular > Add Cellular Plan)
• Android: Google Pixel 3+, Samsung Galaxy S20+/Note20 or newer (Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile Network)
• Other devices: Consult your manufacturer's specifications as eSIM support varies by model and region

Operating System Requirements: Your device requires the latest OS version for proper eSIM functionality:
• iOS: Minimum version 15.5 (Settings > General > About > Software Update)
• Android: Minimum version 12 with carrier services updated
• Note: Some carriers require specific OS builds - check your carrier's latest requirements

Network Connection Requirements: A stable internet connection is mandatory during installation:
• Use Wi-Fi only (cellular data is typically disabled during eSIM setup)
• Disable Airplane Mode and ensure Wi-Fi signal strength is strong (3+ bars)
• Avoid public networks with captive portals (hotels, airports) that block provisioning
