Most users don’t need this page — the one-click activation link installs everything automatically. Use manual installation when you’re installing the eSIM on a different phone than the one you bought it on (each eSIM still works on one device only), the link doesn’t open, or you prefer QR/code entry.Your QR code, SM-DP+ Address, and Activation Code are all on the eSIM detail screen in the Fizen App, and in your confirmation email.
