airtel esim not showing network but i able to do calls and use internet

Guys I also face the same issue …but solution of @baqar786 worked partially for me . Request for new e sim again using same no. Activate it while notification comes . After it gets activated delete old line of same no. Be careful dont delete both lines if so then you will have to visit sim store for new sim card.

I was able to somewhat resolve my issue (for all practical purposes). But in my case, I was anyway moving to a new iPhone.

So I transferred and set up everything on the new iPhone except for Cellular. Then I headed over to the Airtel app and clicked on “upgrade to eSim”. As soon as I did this, there was a pop up within the app which prompted me to “transfer eSIM” to the new device. I tapped on that and followed the steps - these were similar to the steps earlier to activate an eSim but this time around I used the EID of the new iPhone and carefully waited for each step to complete. At the end of all the steps, I was able to get cellular network on the new iPhone (could see the bars show up in the top right). However, per usual, SMS and USSD services were barred for the following 24 hours. These services resumed as usual post that and I’ve been getting connectivity on the new iPhone as you normally would - note that I don’t have any roaming data plans activated.

The old iPhone however, still had the same problem (mentioned above) and didn’t have connectivity. I just erased the old phone (chose the delete eSim option). Everything continues to work fine on the new iPhone!

Reset your device

Hello Guys, I have resolved this issue by following @baqar786; @serivision and @Orangeappl advices. Thank you so much gentlemen.

• I am Roaming in Singapore with Airtel Prepaid Physical Sim.
• By using Airtel Thanks App upgraded to eSim. Physical Sim stop worked after upgrading.
• No Signal Bar appeared on the left side; No Sim with no signal bar on the right-side.
• Sending/Receiving SMS OK, Receiving/Calling Calls are OK.
• After following their advices, using Airtel App, I was able to resolve the No Sim and No signal Bar issues.
• I simply used Airtel App also to update my email in my profile as well.

It seems from Apple side I didn't see any solution or support!

Thanks for your great advice and i have activated my esim after replacing 4 physical sim. Airtel team should know this way to activate. But unfortunately no one is tried in 3 airtel outlet this way. Such a useless people is sitting there.

can you please tell me what exactly you did in Airtel thanks app?

I’ve had the same issue. In my case, something went wrong (I guess) while I was trying to convert a physical Airtel sim to an eSIM (following the steps on the Airtel app). Before this, there were cellular network bars showing. Post the eSIM activation, the cellular bars kept fluctuating for more than 24 hours and I don’t seem to have any network. The physical sim slot says SOS where the network bars usually show up in the top right of the iPhone screen.

@kedar512:

Since I don’t have network, I’m unable to send any messages. How were you able to request for the new Airtel eSIM?

I am facing the exact same problem in my iphone 15. After successfully updating to Airtel eSim from physical sim, the network bars are not visible on my phone. But I am able to make and receive calls and also use the Internet. Why is this so??? Any solution to the problem???

Same problem on my iPhone 13pro as well. Ever since I switched to eSIM on Airtel this morning, the network bars have disappeared although I’m able to make, receive calls and use internet on my phone. Can someone guide me step by step to resolve this issue.

Guys,

i am not even able to install esim, Physical sim is in India. Can u help me.

i tried updraging to eSIM on aritek thanks.. it mentioned you are all set but i do not see any notification or mobile settings option.

In my case none of the solutions work because neither physical Sim has network nor the esim. So even if I reset esim request it needs otp but my number is down no signal how am I going to get the otp?

I have also the same problem.I upgraded my physical sim to airtel eSIM .but after that I am getting phone calls and internet working fine”but range bar is not showing and SMS service also not working. I tried every possible way . I called customer care several days. After that I find this article helped me . I tried the 5 the step of this article .and that’s worked
