eSIM not showing signal bars on iPhone

I too faced the same issue with my Airtel esim. The next day, after my SMS service was enabled again, I clicked on upgrade to esim one more time in Airtel thanks app, received OTP and then it requested for activation within 20 minutes and then I was seeing signal bars and was able to use hotspot too. It even had other options enabled in the mobile service section which were absent during the first time I activated it.

if someone faces similar issue. Created esim transfer request from the Airtel Thanks app and it created another esim. Disabled the old esim and removed it after confirming the new one is working.

Today I have received Same issues, During visit at Apple Store they say it’s networks issue so visit to service provider Airtel store. While visiting Airtel store they informed To take new physic Sim and then convert again in Esim. so I thought if I have to convert again in physical sim then take one try to delete ESim in iPhone 14pro series and “upgrade new ESIM” option from Airtel thanks app. once I entered details for in tab of upgrade new ESIM options in Airtel thanks and register new ESIM network bar show signals in phone. After that I have deleted old ESIM which does Show network. And now it’s absolutely working fine.. thanks

Hello ,

I also had same problem .this happened because of improper network connection while converting to E-Sim.

To prevent this

1.Before convert to E-sim , connect your iPhone to wifi that has strong quality.

2.For your problem , you can re initiate the E-sim request on My Airtel or Visit Airtel store.

I had the same issue. After switching to eSIM from physical SIM, the signal bar disappeared and unable to make calls using SIRI since it thought there is no network. But I was able to make /receive calls manually.

No help from Apple community and I visited a local Airtel store. They reinstalled the eSIM and the problem got solved. SIRI now recognizes the network but call not going through.

This problem can be solved by creating new eSIM card using Airtel Thanks App.

Just Go to Airtel Thanks App> Upgrade to esim. After creating another new esim Card, Activate new esim by configure esim...and That's all....Now your signals will be visible and problem will be solved.

Delete older esim from Mobile networks.

It worked for me using upgrade to esim option in Airtel thanks app.

-upgrade to esim

• configure new esim of same number
• verify evwrything is working fine
• delete the old esim
• 
  

Thank you so much. Reinstalling eSIM through Airtel Thanks app solved the issue

Had the same issue with German Telekom, generating a new E-Sim through online customer service and loading that solved the problem.

I had same issue, I just reset to factory settings by keeping option don’t delete eSIM data. It worked but you should not restore with backup and you should start as fresh phone.

Hi, was having the same problem with migrating my Airtel physical SIM to a eSIm. I went to an Airtel shop and while they did migrate the SIM, I could not see signal bars or use my iPhone 12 Pro Max as a hotspot for 2 weeks. Today, and to fix it, I just downloaded the Airtel Thanks app and did it myself. It worked in 2 minutes. Note, you’ll need wifi to do this migration from the app.

I am also facing the same issue.

upgraded to airtel esim and received very limited settings.

visited airtel store , thay said everything is fine from their end. I contacted customer support as well , explained everything. They escalated my issue to senior team. Contacted them as well but they were unable to identify the issue

Contacted apple support as well , they did all troubleshooting and diagnostics but unable to resolve the issue either.

Checked this community thread today. I have applied for new esim as mentioned in the suggestions. Waiting for the settings to download. Hope it works

I am also facing the same issue,

i have an esim and physical sim, in video i can see that there is a direct way to switch between while calling and existing contact but it is not showing for me. Also signal bar for esim is not visible but able make calls and send messages from esim and physical sim. I tried network resent but it didn’t work. Can someone please help me

I am also facing this issue after a switch to ESim. I could observe that when the esim was activated for a brief moment the signal bar was visible and i could see the signal strengths of both physical and esim profiles. But it quickly disappeared and now i dont have any signal bar for the esim. The calls and data are working though.

is there any update in this issue?
