Installed it and the eSIM doesn’t show up?

Direct answerFirst, look in the right place: iPhone under Settings → Cellular (list of lines), Android under Settings → Connections/Network & internet → SIM manager / SIMs. The line may be there, just turned off — flip the switch on. If it’s nowhere, the installation didn’t finish: restart and, if needed, install manually.

1. Find the line (it may just be off)

Disabled lines show up grayed out in the list. Tap it and enable "Turn On This Line" / "Use SIM".

2. Restart the phone

Installs stuck on "activating..." usually complete after a reboot, with Wi-Fi on.

3. Install manually

If the line truly doesn’t exist, do the manual install with the SM-DP+ address and activation code — see the walkthrough at eSIM QR code not working.

4. QR already consumed?

If rescanning shows "unable to add eSIM", the QR may have been consumed in the earlier attempt. Only the provider can reissue it — talk to the support of whoever sold it to you.

Frequently asked questions

The eSIM shows up but with no phone number. Is that normal?

Yes, many data eSIMs have no phone number. It doesn’t affect the internet or your WhatsApp (which stays on your usual number).
