What should I do if I see the "Cellular Plans From This Carrier Cannot be Added" error when adding my Qoolline eSIM?

If you've tried adding a new cellular plan with your Qoolline eSIM and encountered a "Cellular Plans From This Carrier Cannot be Added" message, you're not alone. This error often affects users who are setting up an eSIM on an iPhone. While it may be confusing, there are several troubleshooting steps that can help you resolve the issue quickly and independently. In most cases, the solution is straightforward and doesn’t require technical support.

Checking Carrier Lock Status
Sometimes, the inability to add a cellular plan may be due to a carrier lock. To check if your iPhone is locked:

1. Open Settings on your iPhone.
2. Go to General > About and scroll down to Carrier Lock.
3. If you see "No SIM restrictions," your iPhone is unlocked and can be used with any carrier. Otherwise, it may be locked to a specific carrier, in which case contacting your carrier for an unlock might be necessary.

Restarting Your Device
Restarting your iPhone is a simple yet effective way to resolve minor glitches, including eSIM errors. Rebooting helps reset network connections and clears out any temporary issues. Once your device is back on, try adding the Qoolline eSIM plan again.

Network-Locked Device Issues
A network-locked device means that your phone is tied to a specific carrier. If you see the error message while adding an eSIM, this may be the issue. To resolve it:

1. Contact your current carrier to understand if unlocking is possible.
2. Complete any required conditions (e.g., contract completion) to unlock your device.

Troubleshooting Additional Errors
If you encounter the "Unable to Complete Cellular Plan Change" error:

1. Restart your device.
2. Ensure your iOS software is up-to-date (Settings > General > Software Update).
3. Verify your account status with your carrier to ensure there are no restrictions.
4. Check your network connection.
