Understanding Why You See This Error: Your Device Might Be Locked

The "Unsupported eSIM" error message ("This eSIM is from a carrier that is not currently supported on this iPhone.") is a strong indicator that your iPhone device is locked by a previous carrier. A carrier-locked phone is restricted from installing or using services from other mobile providers like eSIMI.

You can easily verify if your iPhone is carrier-locked:

  1. Open your iPhone's Settings.

  2. Tap on General.

  3. Tap on About.

  4. Scroll down to the Carrier Lock field.

If your iPhone is unlocked, you should see the message: "No SIM restrictions" in this field.

If the Carrier Lock field displays any other message, it means your device is locked to a carrier. In this case, you would need to contact that carrier to request that they unlock your device before you can install an eSIM from eSIMI or any other provider.
