Activation

Step 1: Find the Activation Request

  • Go to the Activation Google Sheet.
  • Locate the customer’s activation request you would like to process.
  • Check the “Additional Notes” section for any Customer-specific requests (e.g. preferred activation date, custom instructions)

Step 2: Search the Order in Airtable

Step 3: Check the First Line of the Order

  • Review:
    • Customer notes
    • Internal notes
    • Cancellation or refund status
  • ⚠️ Important: If the order has been cancelled or refunded, do not proceed.

Step 4: Confirm SIM Type and Activation Plan

  • Go to the second line of the Airtable record under the customer’s order.
  • Verify the:
    • SIM Type (e.g. Bouygues Telecom)
    • Activation Plan (e.g. My European SIM 30GB eSIM)

Step 5: Open the Physical SIM Airtable

  • In a new browser tab, open Airtable again.
  • Navigate to the “Activations” section and select “Physical SIM Activations”.

📌 Note: Bouygues eSIMs are treated like physical SIMs in our system because we own and manage the QR codes. No external portal access is required.

Apply the following filters to locate available Bouygues eSIMs:

  1. Clear any existing Activation Date filters.
  2. Activation Status
    • Filter: is not
    • Exclude: Active, Closed_Refund/SIM Replacement, Refund/SIM Replacement, etc.
  3. Product Description
    • Should be either:
      • Bouygues Telecom My European SIM 30GB eSIM
      • Bouygues Telecom My European SIM 60GB eSIM

Step 6: Select an Available SIM

  • Choose the first available ICCID at the top without an Order Number assigned.
  • Copy the ICCID.
  • Go back to the customer’s order in Airtable.
  • Scroll to the “Physical SIM Activation” section.
  • Click “Add record” (right-hand side).
  • Paste or search for the copied ICCID, and select it.

Step 8: Confirm Product Match

  • A new line will appear under the customer’s order.
  • Check that:
    • SIM Type (e.g. Bouygues)
    • Product Description matches the customer’s order
      ✅ If they don’t match, re-check the ICCID selection.

Step 9: Finalise the Activation

In the newly added record:

  1. QR Code, SM-DP+ Address, and Activation Code should auto-fill.
  2. Manually fill in:
    • Activate Date: Today’s date (or customer’s requested date)
    • Arrival Date: Same as Activate Date
    • Days: Set to 30
    • Activation Status: Set to Active
    • Customer Email: Enter the customer’s email address
