Here are some steps you can use to check your eSIM is activated on your iPhone, ensuring you can use it right away.

Step 1: Login to your Breeze account

Step 1: Test your iPhone connection

Is your iPhone connection working? Check your iPhone isn’t in flight mode and you aren’t somewhere with no signal. To further confirm that your eSIM is activated, do a quick test by trying to access the internet to ensure that data services are working correctly.

Step 3: Check your iPhone settings

Accessing the Settings app is essential to checking if your eSIM is activated on your iPhone. It contains the necessary information about your cellular plans and network connections.

Once in the Settings app, scroll down and tap on "Cellular Data" or "Mobile Data". This section contains all the details about your mobile connections, including both physical SIMs and eSIMs. Find the eSIM you want to check. If it isn’t there, you haven’t installed it.

To check if your eSIM is activated, look for the status indicator next to your eSIM plan. If the eSIM is active, it will typically show as "Active" or "Connected." You may also see signal bars next to the eSIM plan, indicating that it’s connected to the network.
