Your eSIM installation code: store it without public forwarding
An installation code helps connect an eSIM to the right device. Treat it as private order information rather than an ordinary holiday photo.
Key points
- Keep installation details somewhere with suitable private access.
- Use order labels rather than their codes for shared trip organisation.
Choose a storage location
Save the order confirmation and instructions so you can access them during setup. If you need offline access, test it in advance. Consider who can see backups, a shared album or documents on a work device.
Share only what is necessary
To assign eSIMs among relatives, it is usually enough to identify the traveller and the corresponding order number. Give the code itself only to the person installing the relevant profile. Do not include an activation screenshot in a shared travel story or public guide.
Clarify support requests
When asking for help, start with the order number and a description of the problem through the seller's verified channel. If additional details are needed, find out exactly which and why. Never send support your account password or one-time login codes. Do not attach information about other orders.
Keeping installation details private helps maintain order among your purchases. The convenience of a shared chat does not require publishing the activation code itself.
