You may be able to reinstall a deleted eSIM, but this is not guaranteed. Some activation codes are single-use, limited to one device or require the provider to issue a replacement.
Do not repeatedly scan the original QR code or purchase a second plan until the order and installation status have been checked.
NoveSIM Support must confirm the recovery path for the specific order. A screenshot of the QR code should never be posted publicly.
Quick answer: If you deleted an eSIM, keep the order number and activation details, confirm that the phone is the original device, and contact NoveSIM Support before trying to reinstall. The original QR code may no longer be valid.
Can I Reinstall My eSIM If I Delete It?
It depends on the plan and activation system. Deletion removes the profile from the phone; it does not automatically create a fresh installation entitlement. The post-reset reinstallation guide covers a related but distinct situation.
What to Do Immediately
- Stop repeated QR scans after the first rejection.
- Locate the order number and original installation email.
- Confirm the exact phone model and whether it is the original installation device.
- Take a screenshot of the SIM manager without exposing activation credentials.
- Contact NoveSIM Support through the verified channel.
Use the NoveSIM contact page and describe whether the profile was deleted manually, removed during a reset or lost after changing phones.
Why the Original QR Code May Fail
An eSIM QR code can represent a one-time download rather than a reusable image. Repeated scanning cannot restore an entitlement that has already been consumed. The QR-code troubleshooting guide explains other installation failures.
Avoid Deleting an eSIM During Troubleshooting
Before removal, check the active line, Mobile Data selection, roaming, network registration and APN. For NoveSIM, the manual APN is data.esim when required. Delete a profile only when NoveSIM Support specifically instructs you to do so.

FAQ
Can a deleted eSIM be restored from phone settings?
No. Once the profile is deleted, recovery normally requires a valid installation entitlement or provider assistance.
Can I scan the same QR code again?
Possibly, but many codes are single-use. Ask NoveSIM Support before repeated attempts.
Can I reinstall it on a different phone?
Transfer rules depend on the plan. Do not assume a code used on one device will work on another.
Should I buy a new plan immediately?
No. First let Support check whether the existing order can be recovered or replaced.
Final Recommendation
You may be able to reinstall a deleted eSIM, but the original QR code is not guaranteed to work again.
Preserve the order details and contact NoveSIM Support before rescanning or buying another plan.
For future troubleshooting, keep the installed profile unless Support explicitly authorises deletion.
