If your eSIM seems to be in a perpetual state of activation on your iOS device, it’s a common issue that typically arises if the eSIM installation is complete but you haven’t yet entered the coverage area of your destination country/region.

The good news is, even if your device indicates “activating” or signals an “activation failure,” it usually means the eSIM installation is successful. The activation will naturally conclude once you’re physically present in the network coverage area of your destination.

It’s important to note that while the eSIM is in this state, you should still have access to functions on your device that do not require network connectivity.

Upon arriving at your destination and once your device connects to the local network, the eSIM activation should complete, allowing you to enjoy the full benefits of your plan.
