If you purchased the wrong country or regional eSIM plan, act quickly before installing or activating the eSIM.
Because eSIM products are digital goods often delivered immediately, available solutions may depend on whether the order has already been delivered, accessed, installed, or activated.
Quick answer: Do not scan the QR code or activate the eSIM yet. Check your order status and contact support as soon as possible.
Important: Order changes, refunds, replacements, or credits are reviewed according to activation status, delivery status, and our General Conditions.
What to Do Immediately
- Do not install the eSIM
- Do not scan the QR code
- Do not activate the plan
- Log in to your NoveSIM account
- Check your exact purchased destination
- Contact support quickly
Tip: Fast action gives the best chance for support to review possible solutions before activation.
Can the Wrong Plan Be Changed?
Possibly. This depends on factors such as:
- Whether the eSIM has been activated
- Whether the QR code was already used
- Whether the order has completed delivery
- Specific product terms
- Support review outcome
No automatic change should be assumed until support confirms available options.
When Changes May Be Limited
- eSIM already activated
- Data usage already started
- QR code already redeemed
- Destination plan already live
- Digital delivery already completed under applicable terms
