With the rise of eSIM technology, activating a new mobile plan has never been easier. However, to set up an eSIM on your device, you need an SM-DP+ Address and an Activation Code.
These credentials are essential for downloading and installing your eSIM profile. In this guide, we’ll explain what these terms mean, how to obtain them, and how to activate your eSIM successfully.
What is an SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code?
- SM-DP+ Address (Subscription Manager – Data Preparation Plus Address): This is a server address provided by your carrier that facilitates the remote provisioning of your eSIM.
- Activation Code: This is a unique identifier or QR code that links your device to the carrier’s network, allowing the eSIM profile to be downloaded.
Example:
SM-DP+ Address: smdp.telkomsel.com
Activation Code: 1234567890ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF
Note: These are illustrative examples; actual addresses and codes will be provided by Telkomsel upon eSIM purchase.
How to Obtain the SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code
1. Check Your Email or Carrier’s App
Most eSIM providers send the SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code via email after a successful purchase. Some carriers also provide this information in their mobile apps.
2. Log in to Your Carrier’s Website
If you purchased an eSIM plan, you can log in to your account on the carrier’s website to access your activation details.
3. Extract Details from a QR Code
If you only have a QR code and need the SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code manually:
- Use a QR code scanner app on your phone.
- Scan the QR code and extract the embedded text.
- The scanned result will usually include the SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code in a structured format.
