esim

Hello,

 

I received the eSIM QR code by email, but when I try to install it on my phone, it says that the QR code has already been used. However, I cannot see any eSIM installed on my phone, and my phone number is no longer working.

 

Could you please help me urgently? I need my phone number restored and I may require a new eSIM QR code if the current one has become invalid.

 

Thank you.

    Hi ​@Luca77

     

    We're sorry to hear about the difficulty you've experienced with your eSIM, particularly as you've deleted the eSIM and are now unable to receive the One-Time Passcode (OTP) needed to request a replacement.

     

    As you're unable to receive the verification code, we'd recommend contacting us via Live Chat so our team can complete the necessary security checks and assist you with requesting a new eSIM.

     

    Alternatively, you can send us a Direct Message via our official Facebook or Instagram pages, where our team can complete the required verification and assist you further.

     

    We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we help you get your service restored.
