Unlocked Device and eSIM Profile Installation Error

I got the message 'Your device is locked' when trying to install my eSIM profile, what should I do?

If you're receiving a "device locked" message while trying to install your eSIMania profile, follow these steps:

  1. Contact your original carrier - Devices are typically locked to the network provider they were purchased from
  2. Request device unlocking - Provide your IMEI number (found in device settings) to the carrier
  3. Wait for confirmation - Most carriers process unlocks within 1-3 business days

❗ Important: Some devices have region-locked eSIM functionality even when unlocked. Check our eSIM compatibility guide before purchase.

After unlocking:

  • Restart your device
  • Ensure you have latest OS updates
  • Try reinstalling your eSIMania profile
