Can't activate the eSIM
First time? Check out our eSIM setup guideIf the install fails or throws an error, work through these.
- Get on a stable wifi connection if you can
- Check your phone supports eSIM
- Check your phone is not carrier-locked
- Turn airplane mode off if it is on
- Check whether the Atli eSIM is already installed. If it is, there is nothing left to activate
- Be somewhere with coverage, two bars or better
The two errors and what they usually mean
- eSIM not supported, or "this eSIM is not compatible with this device", almost always means the phone is carrier-locked, or your operator blocks eSIMs on it. Only they can lift that: ask them to unlock the device, then activate
- A VPN can throw the same error. Turn it off and try again before you call anyone
- Unable to activate eSIM usually means it is already installed on the device
