The Motorola Moto G (2024), sold in the US as the moto g 5G - 2024, supports eSIM on compatible unlocked models. Motorola lists the phone with Android 14, dual SIM support using one physical nano SIM plus eSIM, and the eSIM setup path under Settings > Network & internet > SIM cards.
For travel, installing an iRoamly eSIM lets you prepare mobile data before you arrive, without replacing your main physical SIM. You can usually install by scanning the QR code from iRoamly, while manual entry is useful if the QR code is on the same phone, hard to scan, or provided as activation details.
This guide covers both methods, then shows how to confirm the iRoamly eSIM appears on the Moto G (2024) and how to select it for travel data. Menu names may vary slightly by Android build, carrier firmware, or region, and some carrier variants can limit eSIM features.
Before You Set Up Your iRoamly eSIM
Connect the Motorola Moto G (2024) to stable Wi-Fi before starting. eSIM download needs an internet connection.
Confirm the phone is unlocked and that your exact model/region supports eSIM. On compatible US Moto G (2024) models, Motorola lists dual SIM as one physical nano SIM plus eSIM.
Keep your iRoamly QR code, SM-DP+ Address, Activation Code, and any optional Confirmation Code available from your iRoamly order page or email.
Install the eSIM 1-2 days before travel when possible, but avoid activating travel data until you understand your plan timing. iRoamly plan validity starts from activation, and the exact trigger can vary by plan or destination.
Do not delete the iRoamly eSIM after installation unless iRoamly support tells you to. Many travel eSIMs cannot be installed again after removal.
Check the specific iRoamly plan details for voice and SMS. Many iRoamly travel eSIM plans are data-only, and voice/SMS support varies by plan.
Method 1: Install eSIM by Scanning a QR Code
Open Settings on the Motorola Moto G (2024), then tap Network & internet. You should see the Android 14 network settings page with Wi-Fi, SIM, and connection options.
Tap SIM cards. The phone should open the SIM management page where physical SIM and eSIM options are managed.
Tap Add eSIM or the visible add option for adding a downloaded SIM. Keep Wi-Fi connected while the phone prepares the eSIM setup screen.
Tap Scan QR code, then point the Moto G (2024) camera at the iRoamly QR code. The QR code should be shown on another screen or printed copy, not as a working code inside this guide.
Review the detected iRoamly eSIM profile, then tap Download or Activate when Android asks whether to add the eSIM. Wait on Wi-Fi until the download finishes.
Tap Done when the setup completes. If the phone asks for a restart, restart before testing the iRoamly line.
Method 2: Install eSIM Manually
Open Settings, tap Network & internet, then open SIM cards. This returns you to the same SIM management page used for QR code setup.
Tap Add eSIM, then choose the option to set up by QR code if Android opens the scanner first. Manual entry is usually reached from the QR scanner screen.
Tap Enter details manually or Enter activation code manually. The Moto G (2024) should open a manual eSIM entry screen.
Enter the SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code exactly as iRoamly provides them. If your screen asks for one activation-code string instead of separate fields, enter it in the format LPA:1$SM-DP-ADDRESS$ACTIVATION-CODE; only add a confirmation code if iRoamly provided one.
Tap Next, review the iRoamly eSIM profile, then tap Download or Activate. Keep Wi-Fi on until Android finishes adding the eSIM.
Tap Done after installation completes. Return to Settings > Network & internet > SIM cards to check that the iRoamly eSIM is listed.
How to Confirm Your iRoamly eSIM Is Installed
Go to Settings > Network & internet > SIM cards. Look for an added eSIM profile such as iRoamly Travel eSIM, Travel, or a carrier profile name from the iRoamly setup details.
Tap the iRoamly eSIM profile and check that the line toggle is on. The profile page should show settings such as mobile data, roaming, or SIM preferences for that eSIM.
Turn off Wi-Fi briefly after arrival or when the plan is ready to use, then open a browser page. If the plan supports the current destination and the eSIM is active, mobile data should connect.
Configure eSIM for Mobile Data
Open Settings > Network & internet > SIM cards, then tap the iRoamly eSIM profile. Confirm Use SIM is on if that switch appears.
Tap Mobile data or Preferred SIM for mobile data, then select the iRoamly eSIM for data. Leave calls and SMS on your primary SIM unless your iRoamly plan specifically includes those services.
Open the iRoamly eSIM settings and turn on Roaming or Data roaming if your iRoamly plan instructions require it for the destination. Keep unwanted automatic switching or fallback data features off if you want to avoid primary-SIM roaming charges.
Troubleshooting
Add eSIM is missing: Confirm the phone is the eSIM-capable Moto G (2024) variant, update Android, check that the phone is unlocked, and ask the carrier whether eSIM is enabled on your firmware.
QR code will not scan: Increase screen brightness on the device showing the QR code, avoid glare, and make sure the QR code has not expired or already been used.
QR code is on the same phone: Use manual entry instead. Copy the SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code from your iRoamly order details.
Manual activation fails: Recheck each character, avoid extra spaces, and use the full LPA:1$... activation string if your Moto G (2024) shows a single activation-code field.
eSIM appears but no data works: Select the iRoamly eSIM for mobile data, enable data roaming if required, restart the phone, and confirm the plan covers your current country or region.
Activation stays pending: Keep Wi-Fi on, wait a few minutes, restart the phone, and try again in the destination country if the plan activates only after connecting to a supported network.
eSIM was deleted: Do not keep reinstalling. Check your iRoamly account or contact iRoamly support because many eSIM profiles cannot be reused after deletion.
Conclusion
Your Motorola Moto G (2024) can now use your iRoamly travel eSIM whenever your plan becomes active in a supported destination. With mobile data available for maps, messaging, translation, travel bookings, and everyday online services, staying connected abroad becomes much more convenient.
Whether you're taking a short vacation or a longer international trip, having travel data available from the beginning helps you spend less time looking for internet access and more time enjoying your destination.
