If you encounter the message “eSIM Cannot Be Added. This code is no longer valid. Contact your network provider for more information.”,  it indicates that the eSIM plan you are trying to add has either been previously activated or that there was an issue scanning the QR code due to a poor connection.


To resolve this issue, please check the following:

  • Ensure that the eSIM is not already added to your device.
  • Verify that you have a stable network or WiFi connection.
  • Check if your device has reached the maximum number of eSIM profiles it can support.

For the best results, we recommend scanning the QR code. If scanning issues persist, you may manually enter the eSIM details.
