Can I scan the same QR code with multiple phones?

UpdatedJune 10, 2026

Quick Answer

No. One QR code can be installed on only one device.

Why can’t I use the same QR code again?

Each eSIM is unique and can only be downloaded once to a single device. After it is installed or activated, the same QR code cannot be used on another phone.

Using eSIM on multiple devices

If you need eSIMs for multiple phones, please purchase one eSIM for each device. Each person or device should use its own QR code.
