I paid but did not receive my eSIM

Check spam and the address you entered at checkout, then open the order page in your account — the QR and install codes are always there even if email fails. If nothing appears within 15 minutes, contact us with your order number and the email you used.

Payment goes through, the confirmation message shows on screen, then checking email turns up nothing at all. That feeling is unsettling, worrying that money has been paid with nothing to show for it. The good news is that in almost every case, your eSIM was already generated the moment payment succeeded; it is only the notification email that may be slow or has landed in a different folder, not that the order has vanished anywhere.

This page runs through what to check first, what to prepare if you need to contact us, and questions that come up often around this exact situation. We will not promise an exact time by which an email must arrive, since that depends on your own email provider's system, which sits outside our control. What is within your control, and what we recommend doing first, is opening the order page in your own account directly.

I paid but did not receive my eSIM

First of all: check the spam folder

An order confirmation email is sometimes misfiled by your email provider's spam filter, especially if this is the first time you have received a message from us. Open the spam or junk folder and search for our name or the word eSIM there first. Some email systems also carry a promotions folder or a separate tab apart from the main inbox, so check every folder, not just the primary one.

Some email providers can delay delivery unusually long without any warning at all. If spam turns up nothing, do not assume the email will never arrive; open the order page in your account, which is the more reliable route.

The most reliable place: your order page in your account

Every time payment succeeds, the system generates the order and attaches the QR code and install codes to your account's order page, regardless of whether the notification email arrives. Sign in with the account you used at checkout and open the order history page directly. If the entry appears there with a QR, your eSIM is ready to use, and there is no need to keep waiting on the email.

If you cannot recall which email was used at checkout, the payment receipt or your banking app can still help, since it often records which card or channel was charged at that moment. Alternatively, try checking every email account you use regularly, since some people hold more than one email account and may have entered a less commonly used one without noticing. This kind of checking is slower than opening the order page directly, but still faster than simply waiting and doing nothing.

Why the email can be slow or never arrive

A common cause is the email provider's spam filter handling things too strictly, or a delivery delay on the receiving mail system that has nothing to do with us at all. Another cause seen sometimes is a typo in the email address entered at checkout; even a single wrong character means the email never reaches its real destination. In that case the order page in your account still works, as long as you sign in with the same account used at checkout.

If the email address was mistyped at checkout, the confirmation can never reach the correct inbox at all. Rely on the order page in your account instead, and let us know about the wrong email if you want it corrected in the system.

Other reasons the email can look like it never arrived

If you used a work email address at checkout, some corporate mail systems filter far more aggressively than personal webmail. Rather than moving a message from an unrecognised sender into spam, some block it before it ever reaches the mailbox, so there is no trace of it anywhere, not even in the junk folder. If that seems likely, ask your IT department whether external senders are being blocked, or simply use a personal address next time you check out. Whatever filtering happened on the email side, the order page in your account still works exactly the same.

Another common mix-up is assuming that no notification popping up means no email arrived. Many phone mail apps fetch new messages on a schedule rather than the instant they arrive, and some also suppress alerts for senders they treat as promotional or previously unseen. In other words, the message can already be sitting in your inbox with no banner or sound ever having appeared for it. The more reliable move is to open the mail app yourself and pull down to refresh the inbox by hand, rather than waiting to see whether a notification shows up.

If your main address is set to forward automatically to another account, or you use a plus-addressed alias to sort mail, forwarding sometimes fails silently with no error message sent back to you. The original message genuinely exists but never reaches the destination inbox you happen to be checking. If you use a setup like this, check the source mailbox directly instead of the one you expect forwarding into, or turn off forwarding temporarily while waiting on an important order.

Payment succeeding and eSIM provisioning finishing are two separate steps

A screen saying payment succeeded means your money has been received into the system, but generating the eSIM with its QR can take a short moment afterward before it shows in full on the order page. If payment has only just gone through and the QR is not showing yet, wait briefly and refresh the order page again before worrying.

Why an order can occasionally not appear in your account at all

If the order page shows nothing at all, even after waiting beyond fifteen minutes, one cause seen is that payment did not actually succeed to begin with, for instance a bank or card declining the transaction, even though the screen on your side appeared to show success. Check the statement from your payment method as the most certain evidence of whether money was actually deducted. If the statement shows no deduction, payment did not succeed, and no order would have been created as a result.

Another possibility is signing in with a different account than the one used at checkout, especially if you hold more than one email account or have registered more than once before. Check that you are signing in with the exact same email entered at payment time, since the order is tied only to that account and will not appear under a different one, even if that other one is also your own email.

If you are already travelling and need the eSIM urgently

If you are already travelling and waiting on the eSIM urgently, check the order page in your account first, immediately, since it is the fastest route and does not depend on email at all. If you can reach the internet through hotel or airport wifi, use that to open the order page rather than waiting for mobile signal, since this can be done right away without needing the new eSIM first.

If the order page shows nothing and wifi internet is available, message us on LINE right away with your order number and the email used. We take messages around the clock, every day, and your message will get a reply even if it is sent in the small hours — that window can just take a little longer than daytime. Sending the message as soon as the problem is found gets you help sooner than waiting and sending it later.

How long to wait before it is time to contact us

If the order page shows no QR or install code within fifteen minutes of successful payment, contact us right away rather than waiting longer in hope it will simply appear. Fifteen minutes is a reasonable window for the system to finish normal processing. If it is still empty beyond that, something may have gone wrong that needs our team to look into.

Do not buy again if you are unsure

If worried the first order did not go through, check the order page and your payment method's statement first. Do not immediately click buy again, since that can end up paying twice for the same plan. If unsure whether the first attempt succeeded, contact us and mention you are considering buying again, so we can check the status of the first order before you do.

What to have ready before contacting us

The more complete the information from your very first message, the faster we can look into it. Include your order number, the email used at checkout, and roughly when payment was made. A screenshot of the order page or the payment statement helps a great deal too, since it lets us see the exact status you are looking at without having to guess.
