Prepaid Card, Device broken, Currently abroad, Cannot receive SMS TAN

Hello O2 Team, 

 

I am writing to request an urgent replacement for my prepaid eSIM. 

 

My phone is completely broken and cannot be turned on, which means I am unable to receive the SMS TAN (verification code) to log into my "Mein O2" app or portal. To make matters worse, I am currently staying abroad, so I cannot visit an O2 Shop in Germany. 

 

Here are my basic account details: 

 

* My O2 Phone Number: [+xxxxxxx613]

* My SIM Card Type: Prepaid Card

 

Since I am overseas and my device is dead, I cannot receive any SMS. Could a moderator please contact me via Private Message (PN) to verify my identity (via passport or my 4-digit portal password) so that you can help me bypass the SMS verification or send me a new eSIM activation profile? 

 

Thank you very much for your urgent help! 

 

Best regards,

First, remove your phone number again.
You do not need an SMS code to sign up for prepaid service. Replacement eSIM profiles are sent exclusively by letter. Furthermore, activation is guaranteed only on the home network!

Could you transfer me to customer service?

Hey ​@wuyu,

Welcome to the o2 Community.

I'm really sorry to hear about your situation. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to ask for any personal information or send you anything.

Is there any way you can insert the SIM card into another device?

 

Best regards,

Flo
