Local Profile Assistant activation string
What is LPA string?
The text-format encoding of an eSIM activation profile, used when a QR code can't be scanned. Looks like: LPA:1$smdp.example.com$matching-id.
In context
Every QR code travel.to delivers contains an LPA string. If the camera can't read the QR (low light, broken lens, displayed at the wrong angle), you can paste the LPA string manually into Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Enter Details Manually. Same end result.
