Customer supportCan I scan the QR code just to test it?
No. Do not scan the QR code with a test device. If the code is used there, it may be used up when you later want to install the eSIM on the right device.
An eSIM is a digital SIM profile. Installation and data package are two different things: the profile must be installed correctly and the service must be active.
The exact result can depend on the device, coverage, data package and local mobile network. If you have problems, first test with the default settings and check the status of the service before changing advanced network values.
Avoid using up the eSIM profile
Treat the QR code like an installation key. Install the profile on the device where it is actually going to be used, and do not delete a working profile unnecessarily. If you change device or have deleted the profile by mistake, contact support before you continue, so that reinstallation is not made more difficult.
Important with eSIM
An eSIM is a digital SIM profile and does not work quite like a plastic SIM. So do not delete the profile and do not scan the QR code with another device just to test it. A QR code may be intended for a single installation, and if the old profile is deleted, a new one may need to be ordered.
