"This code is no longer valid": how to fix it

Quick answer

This message usually means the eSIM is already installed on your phone. Check your SIM list first. If it is not there, message us on WhatsApp and we will help.

Each eSIM QR code works once. If it was already scanned, even by accident, the phone shows this message.

Common questions

Can I use the QR code again?

No. A QR code installs the eSIM once. After that, the code says it is no longer valid.

I deleted the eSIM. Can I scan the code again?

Usually not. Message us straight away and we will check what can be done for your plan.
