How to install an eSIM on a Motorola phone
Install your travel eSIM on a Motorola phone using a QR code or manual activation details, then leave the line ready for arrival.
01
Before you start
A Motorola phone needs a steady Wi-Fi connection to download the eSIM profile. Turn off VPNs, content blockers, and hotspot-only Wi-Fi while installing.
- Open the order email on a second device, tablet, laptop, or printed page.
- Keep your phone charged and connected to Wi-Fi.
- Use the phone settings app rather than a third-party QR scanner.
02
Install the eSIM
- 01Open Settings > Network & internet > Mobile network > Download a SIM instead.
- 02Choose the option to scan the QR code or enter the activation details manually.
- 03Some Motorola builds show Download a SIM instead only after you tap the plus button beside SIMs.
- 04Wait for the phone to download and add the mobile plan.
- 05Name the line something obvious, such as Travel, and keep your primary SIM labelled separately.
- 06Leave the eSIM turned off for mobile data until you are ready to use the destination plan.
03
Set it up for travel
- 01When you arrive, open Settings > Network & internet > SIMs > your travel eSIM and choose Downloaded SIM, Travel, or the plan label shown on your phone for mobile data.
- 02Open Settings > Network & internet > Mobile network > Roaming. Set data roaming to OFF in the United States, and ON in every other country.
- 03Open Settings > Network & internet > SIMs > your travel eSIM > Network. Turn Automatic Network Selection on. Only choose a network manually if automatic selection fails to connect.
- 04Turn airplane mode on for 30 seconds, then turn it off to force a fresh network registration.
APN settings are automatic. Do not manually enter data00.telnyx; it is no longer needed and can cause service instability.
04
If the QR code will not install
- Check that the eSIM is not already listed in your SIM settings.
- Use manual activation details if the camera scan fails.
- Try another Wi-Fi network if the download hangs.
- Contact support before deleting anything from the phone.
