Follow the provider activation instructions before changing advanced device settings.
Make sure the assigned physical SIM is seated correctly or the assigned eSIM profile is installed.
Restart after activation and test a call, text message and mobile-data connection.

Support should not need your account password, full Social Security number or payment-card number to work through normal activation and connectivity checks. Back up important personal data before any troubleshooting step that could erase the device.
Have the device, SIM or eSIM information, enough battery, and a description of what works and what does not. Avoid sending passwords or sensitive identity information.
Yes. Technical & Activation Support is the correct Gov iPhone department for assigned eSIM setup and activation issues.
The issue may involve activation, device settings, network registration or compatibility. Technical Support can work through the provider-side checks.
Not unless the applicable troubleshooting instructions call for it. A reset can erase data, so simpler activation and network checks should normally be considered first.
