What to tell support when your eSIM will not connect
The more precise your first message, the easier it is for support to understand the problem. Instead of 'nothing works', collect a brief description of the phone's and order's status.
Key points
- Provide the order number, your current country and the specific symptom.
- Hide passwords, verification codes and unnecessary details in screenshots.
Describe the initial situation
Give the exact phone model, your current country and the relevant order number through the seller's verified channel. Say whether the profile is installed, whether a signal is visible and whether the travel eSIM is selected for data. Do not send information about other family members if the question concerns only your device.
List the steps taken
Briefly state what you checked according to the instructions and what changed after each action. If the browser works but one app does not, mention that separately. Do not repeat complicated actions while messaging, so your description does not become outdated immediately after sending it.
Attach the relevant screen
If a screenshot is needed, leave the error and related settings readable. Hide other people’s messages, payment information and private activation details, including the eSIM QR code and installation code. If more information is needed, ask through the verified support channel which non-secret fields are required for diagnosis. Do not include passwords or one-time login codes in the conversation.
A short, precise message helps start troubleshooting in the right place. Keep the eSIM profile and wait for specific instructions on the next steps.
