I think my esim is installed… How do I make sure? How do I make phone calls? Do I need to install a certain app? How do I get a real phone number? When I try to add a contact, it says to add an account, then it takes me to microG Services and says “an app on your device is trying to sign in to a Google account. If this was intentional, use the sign in button to connect to google’s sign-in page. if not, press cancel to go back gto the application that caused this dialog to show up” I don’t know what any of this means. (I WISH I NEVER BOUGHT THIS !!!) I still want to return it, but ran out of time emailing questions, so not allowed to now. Ughhhhhhhhh!
Hi there.
You can quickly verify if the eSIM is installed and working by checking if there is a cellular connectivity (indicated in the top status bar). Try browsing via the iode browser (or another app) to see if you have data.
You can use the built in Phone App (bottom left corner in the home menu) to dial out (same app manages incoming calls too).
On adding contact, you’re able to save this contact on device or save it in a cloud account (google is one of the options supported, although not recommended for privacy). Simply choose device only in the contacts storage menu (it shows up once, on your first contact creation).
This is not really different than other Android phones just no Google sign in.
You look at the top line on the phone and it shows the cell signal level, if something is there the phone is OK, if nothing showing there then eSim problem.
To make a call, you use the phone dialer in the very bottom line of apps. If your not sure your internet is working, click the browser and try it
You installed your own eSim you said, so whatever number is on that 
is your number.
Hang in there. Learning new devices can be frustrating no matter what you’re switching from or to. In the end having an understanding of how your stuff works will be a good thing.
Ty, but when I try to scan, nothing happens. What should I do?
i tried putting it in manually and it says the activation code is invalid. please contact your carrier for assistance. But I just got the code Please advise.
Also, do you know if the Kardia device works with this phone? If so, would it compromise privacy?
It will be best to contact your carrier and see if they can find any issues on their end.
There are a couple of things that could determine this. If the app is supported on Android 16 device (this is the base of the OS running on BraX3) and if the app requires google play services, or any specific approval to work. The Kardia support team should be able to answer that.
