If you encounter the error 'Invalid QR Code' while attempting to install your eSIM, it usually means that your VAMO eSIM has already been installed.
How to Check If Your eSIM is Already Installed:
On iOS:
- Navigate to Settings > Cellular.
- If you see the VAMO eSIM listed under your SIMs, it means your eSIM is already installed.
- Typically, the VAMO eSIM is the last eSIM in the list if you have multiple eSIMs.
- As a data-only eSIM, it won’t display a phone number.
On Android:
- Go to Settings > SIM Manager (on Samsung devices) or Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile Network (on other Android devices).
- If the VAMO eSIM appears in the list, it has already been installed.
- Like on iOS, the VAMO eSIM is usually the last in the list if you have multiple eSIMs and does not show a phone number since it is data-only.

If you have additional questions, feel free to contact VAMO’s customer support via live chat on the website.
VAMO eSIMs do not include a phone number, so you cannot make traditional calls using the eSIM.
However, you can still make calls using VoIP services or messaging apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime, or other internet-based platforms.
If you have additional questions, feel free to contact VAMO’s customer support via live chat on the website.
You cannot extend the validity of your existing plan. However, if you need to use your VAMO eSIM beyond its current validity, you can purchase an add-on for the same eSIM.
The add-on will automatically activate once your original plan expires, allowing you to continue using the same eSIM without needing to reinstall or repeat the setup process.
