Is your HMD Fuse carrier-unlocked?
An eSIM-ready HMD Fuse still won't activate a travel eSIM if it's locked to a network. Phones bought outright are usually unlocked; contract phones often aren't. The 20-second check:

- If several carriers appear in the list, your HMD Fuse is unlocked.
Locked? Your carrier can usually unlock it for free once any contract is paid off.
