Key Factors to Consider

When facing a “No Service” message on your eSIM, several key factors significantly influence connectivity.

  1. Network Coverage: Confirm your location is within your carrier’s network coverage area. Lack of coverage can lead to connectivity issues, especially in remote regions.
  2. eSIM Activation: Verify the activation status of your eSIM. Ensure the activation process is complete and any required codes have been correctly entered.
  3. eSIM Compatibility: Identify if your device supports eSIM technology. An unlocked phone compatible with your carrier is essential for seamless data access.
 

By considering these factors, you can effectively address the “No Service” issue, ensuring a reliable connection during your travels.

Troubleshooting Tips: What to Do When “No Service” Appears on Your eSIM

If you see a “No Service” message after installing your eSIM, don’t worry. This issue can usually be resolved with a few targeted steps. Follow the troubleshooting guidance below—starting from the basics and moving to advanced measures as needed.

Basic Checks (Quick Fixes)

Start with these easy steps, which solve most connectivity problems:

1. Restart Your Device
Rebooting your phone refreshes system functions and often restores lost network connections.

2. Toggle Airplane Mode
Enable Airplane Mode for 10 seconds, then disable it. This resets your device’s radio signals.

3. Ensure Mobile Data Is On
Go to your settings and verify that mobile data is enabled for your eSIM line.

4. Check Signal Coverage
Confirm that you’re in an area with mobile coverage. Remote or indoor locations may have weak or no signal.

5. Check Device Compatibility
Ensure your phone supports eSIM technology, is unlocked, and works with Qrispy eSIM. Most recent iPhone and Android models are supported. To check if your device is supported, please visit the Qrispy device compatibility list.

Intermediate Fixes (Configuration Settings)

If basic fixes don’t work, try the following:

6. Verify eSIM Activation

  • Open the Qrispy eSIM app to confirm your eSIM is installed and active.
  • Check if data allowance is available.
  • Reinstall the eSIM profile if the app suggests incomplete activation.
 

7. Toggle the eSIM Line

  • iOS: Settings → Cellular → Select eSIM line → Toggle Off → Toggle On
  • Android: Settings → Connections → SIM Manager → Toggle eSIM Off → On
 

8. Reset Network Settings
This clears old configurations that may block your connection.

  • iOS: Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Reset → Reset Network Settings
  • Android: Settings → System → Reset Options → Reset Wi-Fi, Mobile & Bluetooth
 

9. Update Device Software
Make sure your device has the latest OS version. Some network issues stem from outdated firmware.

Advanced Troubleshooting

Still not working? These additional steps may help:

10. Check Access Point Name (APN) Settings
Some devices require manual input of APN details for data services to work.

  • APN for Qrispy eSIM: globaldata,isp,internet,plus,mobile,orange,orange.fr (unless otherwise instructed)
 

11. Manually Select a Network
If automatic network selection fails:

  • Go to Settings > Cellular > Network Selection and choose a local carrier manually.
 

12. Remove and Reinstall the eSIM
If your eSIM was installed incorrectly or corrupted:

  • Delete the eSIM profile from your settings.
  • Reinstall it via the Qrispy eSIM app under Manage eSIM > Reinstall.
 

13. Try a Different Country
If you’ve recently changed countries, your phone may not yet have registered a local network.

  • Wait 2–3 minutes after landing.
  • Restart your device again after arrival.
 

Last Resort Options

14. Use a Physical SIM Temporarily
If you urgently need connectivity, insert a physical SIM card until your eSIM issue is resolved.

15. Contact Qrispy Support
Reach out via the Qrispy eSIM app or website. Provide the following:

  • Device model and OS version
  • Your Qrispy eSIM ID or registered email
  • Screenshots (if applicable)
