📧 Understanding Your Manual Setup Information

📱 Two Types of Manual Entry

Your device might show different input formats. Use the correct format for your screen:

📝 Type 1: Single Field (LPA Format)

If you see one field asking for "eSIM information" or "LPA string":

LPA: Local Profile Assistant prefix

rsp-eu.sample.com: Server domain

SM-DP+ Address Field:

(Domain only - no LPA prefix)

Activation Code Field:

02A98181870441F1234512345123
