Adding your plan is stuck: what to do

The add takes about a minute on a steady connection. If the progress screen hasn't moved in several minutes, the connection dropped partway; close the attempt and start it again from My plans. Nothing is charged twice, and a restarted add doesn't create a duplicate.

Check first

Stay on the screen for a full minute before you do anything. Then check the connection you're adding over: move closer to the router, or switch from hotel Wi-Fi to your home SIM's mobile data if you have it. A weak or dropping connection is the most common reason an add stalls.

Causes, in order

The connection dropped partway

Reconnect to a strong network, open the app, go to My plans, and start the add again. Don't try to resume the stuck screen. If it gets interrupted, you'll see "Couldn't add your eSIM to this device." Your plan is safe, nothing was charged, and you can try again from My plans.

The add finished but the screen didn't update

Open your SIM list. iPhone: Settings > Cellular. Samsung: Settings > Connections > SIM manager. Other Android phones: Settings > Network & internet > SIMs. If a KnowRoaming line is there, the add worked; close the app and follow Check your plan is on your phone and ready before you fly.

The phone is in a mode that pauses background work

Low Power Mode, Battery Saver, and a VPN can all interrupt an add. Turn them off for the minute it takes, then start again from My plans.

The QR code was used on another device

Each code adds one eSIM to one device. If you scanned the same code on two phones, the second attempt stalls or fails; see "This code has already been used" error.

If it fails a second time, message us with the details below and we'll look at it from our side.
