eSIM serial number

I bought a ESIM yesterday and I’ve download it on my phone although I’ve been stuck trying to figure out what my eSIM serial number is, how can I find this and activate my eSIM. Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

I'm assuming this is a EE SIM only esim plan?

If so then the serial number is normally underneath the QR code on the packet, they are normally 12 digits I believe

Make sure your phone is connected to the internet too, as eSims need a internet connection in order to install onto your device

Hope this helps!

Do you really need a serial no.? Isn't it just its mobile no. needed to activate a SIM? Text NUMBER to 150 to get it.
