Installation Guide
Re-install it correctly.
Open toolNo service, no data, slow data, QR won’t scan, activation fails, calls dead — pick your symptom, get the fix sequence that actually resolves it.
eSIM failures cluster into six patterns, and each has a fix sequence ordered by “most likely first.” This troubleshooter is the decision tree our support team would walk you through — minus the hold music.
Pick what’s wrong: no service, no data, slow data, QR won’t scan, can’t activate, calls not working. Get ordered steps, not a forum thread.
Steps are ordered by hit rate: the 30-second airplane-mode toggle before the nuclear re-install. You’ll rarely need step four.
“Calls not working” on a travel eSIM is usually not a bug — most travel eSIMs are data-only by design. The troubleshooter says so plainly instead of sending you in circles.
When the checklist runs out, the last step is always the right escalation: what to tell support (order email, symptom, what you tried) so they can fix it in one reply.
Choose the symptom that matches. Work the fixes top to bottom — most issues die at step one or two.
In the esimgomobile ChatGPT app and API, this tool is called with exactly these parameters — nothing hidden, nothing invented.
| Parameter | Type | What it is |
|---|---|---|
symptom | enum | What’s wrong: no_service · no_data · slow_data · qr_wont_scan · cant_activate · calls_not_working. |
This troubleshooter covers the common, documented failure modes — it can’t see your phone, your carrier account, or your specific plan, so exotic issues (provisioning errors on the carrier side, device-specific bugs) still need human support. It also won’t pretend a data-only plan is broken: if your plan has no voice, “calls not working” gets an explanation, not a wild goose chase.

Explainer
Tools are free and instant. They're the fastest way to turn a vague travel question into a concrete next step.
The pattern is always the same: tell the tool a little about your trip, and it does the research you'd otherwise do across ten tabs.
Explainer
Bookmark it — travel questions have a habit of returning at the worst moment.
Most travelers use eSIM Troubleshooter once while planning and once on the road. Both visits take under a minute.
Explainer
The tool is only as good as its inputs — a rough date range beats a perfect one you never enter.
If a result surprises you, rerun with different inputs. Exploring the options is the point.
Explainer
From here the path is short — pick a plan, check out through Amazon Pay, scan the QR code, and you're done.
And if you'd rather talk it through, the Tele Agent answers the same questions conversationally, any time.
Every tool result points somewhere useful: usually a plan that fits, sometimes a guide that goes deeper.
