This guide treats the keyword Edge (2022) as the Motorola Edge (2022). The phone supports eSIM on compatible regional and carrier variants, and the steps below use Motorola's near-stock Android Settings path: Settings > Network & internet > SIMs.
An iRoamly travel eSIM is useful when you want mobile data abroad without removing your physical SIM. You can keep your main number available on the Motorola Edge (2022) while using the iRoamly line for maps, messaging apps, rides, and browsing.
The QR code method is usually the fastest way to install the plan. Manual entry is included as a full second method because it helps when the QR code is on the same phone, will not scan clearly, or needs to be entered from your iRoamly order details.
Before You Set Up Your iRoamly eSIM
Connect the Motorola Edge (2022) to stable Wi-Fi before starting the install.
Confirm that your phone is unlocked and that your regional or carrier firmware supports eSIM. Some Motorola variants may not show eSIM setup even when the model name is similar.
Update Android if a system update is available, then restart the phone before adding the travel eSIM.
Keep your iRoamly QR code open on another device, printed page, or computer screen.
Keep the manual activation details from iRoamly ready in case QR scanning does not work.
Do not delete an installed iRoamly eSIM unless iRoamly support tells you to. Many travel eSIM profiles cannot be reinstalled after removal.
Install the eSIM 1 to 2 days before travel when possible. iRoamly eSIM validity starts from activation, and the exact activation trigger can vary by plan, so check the plan details before testing data.
Check whether your specific iRoamly plan includes voice calls or SMS. Many travel eSIM plans are data-only, and voice/SMS availability varies by plan.
Method 1: Install eSIM by Scanning a QR Code
1. Open Settings on the Motorola Edge (2022), then tap Network & internet.
The connection settings page should open with Wi-Fi, SIM, hotspot, and other network controls.
2. Tap SIMs.
The SIMs page should show the existing physical SIM or mobile profile on the phone. On some software builds, this area may appear under Mobile network.
3. Tap Add SIM or Add eSIM.
The phone should open the flow for adding another mobile plan. If this option is missing, check the troubleshooting section before buying or activating a travel plan.
4. Choose Set up an eSIM or Download a SIM instead if Android asks how you want to add the line.
The Motorola Edge (2022) should open the eSIM setup flow and prepare the QR scanner.
5. Point the camera at the iRoamly QR code and keep the full code inside the scanning frame.
When the QR code is accepted, Android should show a download or confirmation screen for the iRoamly eSIM profile.
6. Tap Download, Activate, or Continue when the phone asks to add the eSIM.
Stay on Wi-Fi until the download finishes. If Android asks you to label the plan, use iRoamly so it is easy to identify later.
Method 2: Install eSIM Manually
1. Open Settings on the Motorola Edge (2022), then tap Network & internet.
Manual setup starts from the same network settings page as QR installation.
2. Tap SIMs.
The phone should show the SIM management page for your current mobile line.
3. Tap Add SIM or Add eSIM.
This opens the add-SIM flow. If the phone only shows physical SIM instructions, your Motorola Edge (2022) variant or carrier firmware may not support eSIM setup.
4. Choose Set up an eSIM or Download a SIM instead if that choice appears.
The QR scanner should appear first on many Android builds.
5. Tap Need help?, Enter code manually, or the manual-entry option shown on the QR scanner screen.
Motorola's near-stock Android flow commonly accepts a single full activation code string, such as an LPA:1$... code, rather than asking for separate fields on every build. Use the exact manual information supplied by iRoamly.
6. Enter the iRoamly activation code, then tap Continue or Next.
If your software version shows separate fields, enter the SM-DP+ Address, Activation Code, and optional confirmation code exactly as shown in your iRoamly order details.
7. Tap Download, Activate, or Continue when Android confirms the iRoamly eSIM profile.
Keep the Motorola Edge (2022) connected to Wi-Fi until the profile finishes downloading and appears in the SIM list.
How to Confirm Your iRoamly eSIM Is Installed
1. Go to Settings > Network & internet > SIMs.
The iRoamly eSIM should appear as a mobile plan or SIM profile. Rename it to iRoamly if Android offers a label field.
2. Tap the iRoamly eSIM profile and check that the line is available or turned on.
If the plan is not active yet, it may show as pending until you reach the destination or connect to a supported network.
3. Test mobile data only when you are ready for the plan to be active.
Open a browser or map app using the iRoamly line. Do not test calling or SMS unless your exact iRoamly plan says those services are included.
Configure eSIM for Mobile Data
1. Open Settings > Network & internet > SIMs, then tap the iRoamly eSIM.
This opens the settings for the travel eSIM line.
2. Turn on the iRoamly eSIM if the phone shows a Use SIM switch.
The line must be enabled before it can provide mobile data.
3. Tap Mobile data or Preferred SIM for mobile data, then choose iRoamly.
This tells the Motorola Edge (2022) to use the iRoamly travel eSIM for internet access instead of your physical SIM.
4. Turn on Roaming or Data roaming for the iRoamly eSIM if your destination plan requires it.
Travel eSIM plans often connect through partner networks. Keep roaming off on your primary SIM if you want to avoid home-carrier roaming charges.
Troubleshooting
If Add SIM or Add eSIM is missing, install any Motorola software update, restart the phone, confirm the phone is unlocked, and check whether your regional Edge (2022) variant supports eSIM.
If the QR code will not scan, brighten the screen showing the code, clean the camera lens, increase the code size, or use manual entry.
If the QR code says it has already been used, do not delete the eSIM. Contact iRoamly support because many travel eSIM QR codes are single-use.
If manual entry fails, check every character in the activation code or in the SM-DP+ Address, Activation Code, and optional confirmation code shown by iRoamly.
If the eSIM installs but there is no data, select iRoamly for mobile data, enable data roaming for the iRoamly line, turn airplane mode on and off, and restart the phone.
If activation stays pending, wait until you are in the destination country or covered network if your plan activates on first network connection.
If mobile data keeps switching back to the primary SIM, return to Settings > Network & internet > SIMs and select iRoamly as the preferred mobile data SIM.
If the phone shows only physical SIM options, the device may be a non-eSIM regional or carrier variant even though it is part of the Edge (2022) family.
Conclusion
With your iRoamly eSIM installed on the Motorola Edge (2022), you're ready to use mobile data without interrupting your existing SIM setup. The entire process can be completed directly from the phone's settings, making it easy to prepare for international travel before you leave home.
Whether you're navigating a new city, staying connected through messaging apps, or accessing important travel information on the go, an eSIM provides a convenient way to get online while keeping your connectivity options flexible throughout your trip.
