SM-DP+ Address and eSIM Activation Code Explained
Manual eSIM installation normally needs two provider-issued values: an SM-DP+ address and an activation code. They are the same credentials encoded inside the QR code.
Where Tavi shows them
Open the Tavi app, choose My eSIMs, open the purchased plan and select Install details → Manual. The same values are sent to the checkout email after confirmed payment.
What the SM-DP+ address does
The SM-DP+ address tells the phone which remote eSIM provisioning server holds the profile. It is an address, not a website you should open in a browser.
What the activation code does
The activation code identifies the specific profile the phone may download. Treat it like a one-time secret. Do not post it in screenshots, public support forums or reviews.
What goes in Confirmation Code?
Leave Confirmation Code blank unless Tavi explicitly displays a separate value. The provider normally supplies the SM-DP+ address and activation code only; Apple's form supports an optional extra confirmation value that many eSIMs do not use.
If manual installation fails
- Copy both values exactly, without leading or trailing spaces.
- Use stable Wi-Fi because the phone must download the profile.
- Confirm the phone is carrier-unlocked and supports eSIM.
- Do not delete a successfully installed profile; activation credentials are commonly single-use.
