How to Manually Install eSIM Using Activation Code on Pixel & Nokia Phones
If you're trying to install your eSIM on a Pixel or Nokia phone but the QR code isn't working — don’t worry. You can still activate your eSIM manually using the SM-DP address and activation code provided in your confirmation email.



What You’ll Need ?
- A stable Wi-Fi or mobile internet connection

- The SM-DP address and activation code (usually starts with LPA:1$...)

- A compatible Pixel or Nokia smartphone with eSIM support


Pixel and Nokia phones both use the same stock Android interface, so these steps will apply to both.


Go to settings > Mobile Network > Add eSIM > Tap "Download your SIM instead




> Tap Next > It will ask you to scan the QR code, but in this part you will need tap "Need Help"




And that’s it — no QR code required! By manually entering the SM-DP+ address and activation code, you're fully in control of setting up your eSIM. It's a great backup option if scanning doesn't go as planned.
