The QR code won't scan
Last updated October 14, 2026
Most often it's a brightness or glare problem. If you can't fix the scan, use manual entry — your setup email contains the SM-DP+ address and activation code, which do exactly the same thing.
The easy fixes
Increase brightness on the screen showing the QR code.
Tilt the screen to reduce glare.
Clean the screen and camera lens.
Hold the phone 10–20 cm from the code.
Use manual entry
A QR code just encodes an SM-DP+ address and an activation code. In your phone's eSIM settings choose "Enter Details Manually" (iPhone) or "Enter activation code" (Android) and type both from the setup email exactly — case-sensitive. The result is identical.
Lost the email?
Check spam, search "Globeelink," or message Globeebot to resend (you'll need your order number).
