QR code not working: what to do
If the QR code cannot be scanned, try these options.
- Open the QR code on another screen (a computer or a second device) and scan it from there; a code shown on the same phone cannot be scanned.
- If scanning still fails, choose manual entry in the eSIM settings and type the SM-DP+ address and activation code from your order email.
- Make sure the phone is unlocked, supports eSIM and is connected to Wi-Fi.
- Important: install the eSIM before your trip while on Wi-Fi, and turn on data roaming only after you arrive. The QR code is single-use — do not try to install it twice.
