How to delete an old eSIM on your Pixel device
If you have been experiencing this error when you’re trying to activate an eSIM data package on your Pixel device, it is likely because you already have an eSIM installed. If you already have an eSIM installed, it’ll mean that you won’t be able to install or activate another SIM until you have removed the eSIM that you aren’t using.
While your Pixel might not provide the option to “turn off” the old eSIM, if you are experiencing an error message, it’ll mean that you should fully remove an older eSIM to install the new one.
- Open the Settings app and then choose “Network and Internet”
- Now, you should select Mobile Network
- Select the old eSIM that you want to delete
- Now, select the “Delete SIM” option
Once you have deleted your old eSIM, you should reinstall and activate your new eSIM. If you are still facing trouble, you should contact the Support team.
