PDP (Packet Data Protocol) Authentication Failure is an error message that may appear on your mobile device when attempting to connect to a cellular network using an eSIM.
If you receive a PDP authentication failure error message try the following steps:
- Verify that your device is compatible with the eSIM and that it has been properly activated.

Causes of DPD Authentication Failure
The PDP (Packet Data Protocol) refers to the way that data is sent and received over the cellular network, and the authentication failure indicates that the network is unable to verify your device credentials for connecting to the network.
There are several reasons why this can happen when using an eSIM, including:
-
Incorrect or outdated network settings - If your device's network settings are not configured correctly, it may not be able to connect to the cellular network. Make sure that the correct APN settings are entered for your eSIM and that the settings are up to date.
-
Network coverage issues - If you are in an area with poor cellular coverage or network congestion, you may experience difficulty connecting to the network.
-
Device-related issues - There may be issues with your device that are preventing it from connecting to the cellular network, such as outdated software or hardware problems.
