I have Samsung S20 Ultra. Before a month I switched to eSIM (from physical Jio SIM). I'm not able to add & connect BHIM UPI via Samsung Wallet. I have no idea about why it is happening; Due to eSIM or due to Samsung Pay upgrade to Samsung Wallet.

When I try to add BHIM UPI, no any text massage received for validate my mobile number. The configuration time is 100 seconds. I have tried many times but not able to add BHIM UPI. At the last "Ready to Go" showing in the screen. I can't understand what is wrong with BHIM UPI or eSIM or Samsung Device.

Also, BHIM UPI app & Google Pay app are working fine without any issues. 

If anyone have faced the same issue, please suggest a solution.

Thanks in advance.

I think there is no any problem with slots b'coz other UPI apps working without any issue.

Can there be a problem with bhim app making it not recognizing messages sent from e sim vis a vis physical sim, as upi gets registered on paytm by the same e sim?

UPI gets registered on paytm, Google Pay, BHIM app & Phone Pay. So no any issue with eSIM.
As I'm software engineer, I've figured out that; there is some restrictions from the bank side in samsung pay for sure and only they can do something for it.
Thanks.

Resolved the issue.
The problem is somewhere between bhim app,as well as e sim, airtel and s22.
In such situation just ensure to cut off 'lte' by disabling wifi and changing over to a network without 'lte' , for example 3g and 4g; without 'lte'.
Rest is a piece of cake. Enjoy,
and send me some. 😉
