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

Please provide solution for this problem: "airtel Esim not showing network but i able to do calls and use internet

"unable to send SMS also

My issue got resolved. Steps to resolve:

1. Convert physical sim to eSim ( This is the step where issue is there)
2. Wait for sms service to be activated
3. Request for new airtel eSim for the same device and install it
4. Reboot the device
5. Your issue is solved

Facing the same issue on 17.4 update as well

I was able to get a fix for this issue if you are able to receive SMS then place another esim request from the My Airtel App and once that sim profile is configured then under mobile service the turn of the previous line and delete the esim you should be able to see the network bars.

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?

@Atul Do the same ESim activation process on the same device. It will fix it

Did you manage to resolve this issue? I also noticed that the hotspot is also greyed out. Does anyone face the same after upgrading to eSIM

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!

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???

Reset your device

Facing Exactly same problem after converting to eSIM. Is there a solution?

@manindra225 , Im facing the same issue. how can you initiate the eSIM activation process again.

I tried from the Airtel Thanks app but the notification for setup never comes.
