eSIM troubleshooting assistant

Get a focused checklist for installation, signal, mobile data, hotspot or bank-message problems without deleting your eSIM.

How this works

The checklist starts with the symptom and your answers, then prioritises coverage, package status and device settings. It does not access your phone, account, QR code or carrier network.

Keep the original installation details. Some eSIM profiles cannot be installed again after deletion. If a step asks for an APN or manual network, use the instructions supplied with your own plan.

Questions about this tool

Should I delete the eSIM first?

No. Follow the original plan instructions or ask support before deleting a profile; reinstallation may not be available.

Can the assistant repair my phone automatically?

It provides a checklist. No phone settings are changed and no credentials or activation code are collected.

Can data-only eSIMs receive bank texts for my home number?

A home-number SMS still depends on your home line and carrier. App approvals use an internet connection, but are a separate bank feature.
