Check that the eSIM line is on and set for mobile data, turn on data roaming for it, then turn Airplane Mode on and off.
Still offline? Write to samantha@genghis.pro with your order number and phone model, and keep the eSIM on the phone: a deleted eSIM cannot be installed again.

What should I check, in order?
Six checks, from our product pages and the phone makers' help (checked September 25, 2026).
- The line is on. On an iPhone, "Turn On This Line" must be on for the eSIM in Settings, Cellular. On a Pixel, "Use SIM" must be on.
- The eSIM is your mobile data line. On an iPhone, Settings, Cellular, Cellular Data. On Android, the mobile data SIM in the SIM settings.
- Data roaming is on for the eSIM. Travel eSIMs connect as roaming lines. Read how to turn on data roaming.
- Airplane Mode on, then off. Apple's roaming page suggests about 30 seconds on, so the phone picks a network again.
- A restart. Apple, Google and Samsung all list it. Apple also suggests setting Date and Time to Set Automatically.
- The right place. A country plan works in its country; the Europe plan in the 33 countries and territories on its list.
The phone makers' own checks: Apple's mobile data help, Google's Pixel data help and Samsung's data troubleshooting.
Should I delete the eSIM and install it again?
No. A deleted eSIM cannot be installed again, and Apple also advises against erasing an eSIM to fix a problem. Keep it on the phone while we check.
What should I send you?
Your order number and phone model. Write to samantha@genghis.pro from the email address you ordered with, and say which country you are in. A person on our team reads every email, and we reply within 24 hours on business days. Read how to contact us.
Can I get a refund if it never connects?
If the cause is not your phone or your settings, our rules for a product that does not work apply. Otherwise an installed eSIM counts as used. Read eSIM refunds, how refunds are paid, whether your phone supports eSIM and how Genghis eSIMs work.
