I see. Well, I think if you could just scan the code from the screen, that probably would open up all kinds of gateways for scammers. On the other hand, faking a physical address is a bit more expensive.

I mean, in Canada we can activate esims by scanning a digital qr code, and we have significantly less scam calls than the US does... Because we have much better laws about that sort of thing.
