Troubleshooting Common eSIM Activation Issues

eSIM technology has simplified mobile connectivity—but like any tech, issues can occasionally occur during activation. Whether you're traveling, switching carriers, or using Econnect Sim for the first time, this guide will help you troubleshoot common eSIM activation issues quickly and effectively.

🔍 1. Device Compatibility Issues

Symptoms:

• No option to add eSIM
• QR code scan fails
• Activation stuck

Solutions:

• Ensure your device is eSIM-compatible and carrier-unlocked.
• Check Econnect Sim’s Device compatibility list.
• Restart your phone and try again after updating your OS.

🔍 2. QR Code Not Working

Symptoms:

• Error when scanning the code
• “Invalid QR Code” or “Profile Not Found” message

Solutions:

• Make sure your camera is clean and focused on the QR code.
• Don’t screenshot or compress the QR image—always scan from the original email.
• Ensure your device has a stable internet connection during activation.

💡 Pro Tip: If scanning fails, some devices allow manual entry using the SM-DP+ address and activation code provided in your email.

🔍 3. eSIM Profile Not Downloading

Symptoms:

• “Unable to download profile”
• Long loading times or timeout errors

Solutions:

• Ensure you're connected to Wi-Fi or mobile data.
• Restart your phone and try downloading again.
• Temporarily disable VPNs, firewalls, or security apps.
• Wait a few minutes and retry—activation servers may experience delays.

🔍 4. No Mobile Data After Activation

Symptoms:

• eSIM installs, but no data
• Signal bars show, but no internet

Solutions:

• Check APN settings (Access Point Name). These may need to be configured manually based on your Econnect Sim plan.
• Turn on data roaming (even if you're in your home country).
• Restart your device after installation.
• Make sure the eSIM is set as the primary data line in your mobile settings.

🔍 5. eSIM Was Deleted or Removed

Symptoms:

• You accidentally deleted your eSIM profile
• Device reset or erased network settings

Solutions:

• Unfortunately, eSIMs cannot be reinstalled once removed.
• Contact Econnect Sim support for help; a replacement may be possible in select cases.
