eSIM issues and troubleshooting
If Dual SIM with eSIM isn't working on your iPhone, or you can’t set up your eSIM, learn to fix any issues you might encounter when using Dual SIM with an iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, or later model that features a nano-SIM card and an eSIM or two eSIMs.
Check your plans
- Your iPhone must be unlocked, or both cellular plans must be from the same carrier.
- Both plans must be set up and ready to use.
- The carrier or carriers must support Dual SIM with eSIM.
- If a CDMA carrier provides your first SIM, your second SIM will not support CDMA. Contact SIMETRY for more information.
If you cannot set up your eSIM
- Check with SIMETRY to see if your iPhone plan is eligible for Dual SIM service.
- Make sure that your carriers support coverage in your area and that there are no service outages.
- Make sure that your cellular plans are set up, ready to use, and do not have a billing-related blockage.
If you still cannot set up your eSIM, contact your SIMETRY for support.
If you do not see one or both cellular plans
You should see both of your plans when you go to Settings > Cellular or Settings > Mobile Data. Here is what to do if you do not.

If you do not see your eSIM plan
- Follow the steps to set up your cellular plan with eSIM.
- Open the Control Center and make sure that both of your carriers appear in the status bar.
If you do not see your nano-SIM card plan
Make sure that your nano-SIM card is seated properly in the SIM tray:
- Remove the SIM tray and inspect the SIM cards for signs of damage or corrosion.
- Remove your SIM card from the SIM tray, then put the SIM card back.
- Make sure that you close the SIM tray completely so that it is not loose.
- Open the Control Center and make sure that both of your carriers appear in the status bar.
If the nano-SIM card does not work, if it does not fit or is bent, or if you see "Card is not compatible with LTE" on your iPhone, contact your carrier for a new nano-SIM card.
Contact SIMETRY
Issues with your carrier or account might affect your service. Contact SIMETRY to:
- Verify that your account is active and in good standing.
- Make sure that there are no outages in your area.
- Check that your device is not blocked from receiving cellular services and is set up with the right data plan.
- Activate a replacement cellular plan on your device.
Only SIMETRY can access and manage details about your account.
If you see No Service, Searching, or SOS on your iPhone or iPad
If you see “No Service” or “Searching” in the status bar on your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular), your device is not connected to a cellular network. If you see “SOS” or "SOS only" in the status bar, your device can still make emergency calls.
Check your coverage area.
- Make sure that you are in an area with cellular network coverage.
- Turn cellular data off and then back on again. Go to “Settings,” then tap “Cellular” or “Mobile Data.” If you are using an iPad, you might see Settings > Cellular Data.
- If you are traveling internationally, make sure that your device is set up for data roaming. Go to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options > Data Roaming.

If you see SOS or SOS only
If you see “SOS” or "SOS only" in the status bar, your device is not connected to a network, but you can still make emergency calls. This feature is available in Australia, Canada, and the United States.

Restart your iPhone
Restart your device. If you are not sure how to do this, follow these steps to restart your iPhone.
Check for a Carrier Settings update
To manually check for and install a carrier settings update:
- Make sure that your device is connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network.
- Tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, you will see an option to update your carrier settings.
- To see the version of carrier settings on your device, tap Settings > General > About and look
next to Carrier.
If you insert a new SIM card into your iPhone or iPad, you need to download the carrier settings for your new carrier.
Turn your cellular line off and back on
Go to Settings > Cellular and check to see if your cellular line is turned on. If your cellular line is off, turn it back on. Then check to see if you have service.
If you do not see your cellular line in Settings > Cellular, you should set up an eSIM.
Reset your Network Settings
Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device] > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you have used before.
Update your iPhone
Update your iPhone or iPad to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.
