“Can I set up the eSIM with only one smartphone?” “Can I set it up without printing the QR code or displaying it on a PC?”
Yes! You can set it up from a screenshot of the QR code.
That’s all you need!
There is no need to print the QR code or display it on a PC or another smartphone.

What if it doesn’t work?
