CHECKLIST

Check your phone and EID

✓

Stable Wi-Fi:The eSIM profile downloads over the internet, not over cellular.

✓

Unlocked phone:The device must not be carrier-locked.

✓

eSIM support:Confirm that your phone model supports eSIM.

✓

Correct EID:The submitted EID must belong to this phone. An eSIM is tied to the device it was issued for.

STEP 02

Install the Bell eSIM

Use the automatic EID push first. When the plan is ready, look for Carrier Cellular Plan Ready to Be Installed or New mobile plan is available. Tap the notification, then choose Continue or Download eSIM.

If no notification appears

Stay on stable Wi-Fi and restart the phone once. Then open Add eSIM or Download a SIM, choose the QR-code option, and scan the Bell activation QR shown below.

Troubleshooting

If it does not connect

Use these checks in order. Most activation issues are caused by timing, Wi-Fi, an incorrect EID, or the eSIM line being switched off.

01No installation alert

Reconnect to Wi-Fi, restart the phone, then open the eSIM settings and look for a pending Bell plan. If none appears, scan the Bell activation QR in Step 2 above.

02The plan will not download

Confirm that your selected activation date has arrived and the submitted EID matches this device. On iPhone, also check Settings > General > About for a carrier update.

03No signal or mobile data

Make sure the Bell eSIM is on, Mobile Data uses the Bell eSIM, Data Roaming is enabled, and Airplane Mode is off. If needed, select Bell manually and restart the phone.

04Calls or SMS do not work

Set the Bell eSIM as the voice and message line, confirm that the phone is registered on Bell, then restart the phone.

05Still no service

Take screenshots of the eSIM settings and contact ByteSIM with your order number, activation date, device model and EID.
