Service Description
eSIM Go provides a tiered support service for its customers. Customers are required to fulfil the role of first line support where end users will contact and query.
The Support Team
First Line Support
First line support is the responsibility of the partner. The partner is expected to provide services to end-users for tasks including, but not limited to, eSIM installation and configuration, handset compatibility, and other basic end user enquiries.
First-line support refers to the initial support provided to an end user to assist them in troubleshooting any issue that they may raise.
It is the responsibility of the partner to provide first-line support services as an eSIM vendor. You will be expected to identify and subsequently provide the end user with advice to aid in resolving basic problems arising due to activation, configuration, and other questions.
Support tickets should only be raised to eSIM Go when it has been determined that there is a technical or connectivity issue which cannot be resolved without eSIM Go support. Tickets should not be raised to eSIM Go to aid with identifying first-line end user faults.
The below flow chart will assist in providing solutions for common end user issues.
To assist in troubleshooting eSIM Go has put together a guide on how some of the most common issues can be handled.
