The Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) is an Android phone with a large 6.7-inch pOLED display, built-in stylus, and a near-stock Motorola software experience. This guide assumes the U.S. unlocked or carrier variant running Android 14, where the eSIM setup path appears under Settings > Network & internet > SIMs. Menu names can vary slightly by carrier firmware or later Android updates.
Travelers may install an iRoamly eSIM before a trip so mobile data is ready without changing the physical SIM. Some Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) variants support eSIM, but support can depend on region and carrier provisioning; if the eSIM option does not appear, confirm the exact model and carrier policy before purchasing or installing.
This guide covers both iRoamly setup methods: scanning the QR code and entering the eSIM details manually. The QR method is usually faster, while manual entry is useful when the QR code is on the same phone, will not scan, or needs to be copied from your iRoamly account or email.
Before You Set Up Your iRoamly eSIM
Connect the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) to stable Wi-Fi before starting the eSIM download.
Make sure the phone is unlocked and eSIM-capable for your region or carrier variant.
Keep your iRoamly QR code available on another screen or printed page for the QR method.
Keep the iRoamly SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code available for manual setup.
Sign in to the Google account on the phone if Android asks for account verification during setup.
Install the travel eSIM 1-2 days before departure when possible, but check your iRoamly plan timing first. iRoamly plan validity starts from activation, and the exact activation trigger can vary by plan.
Do not delete the iRoamly eSIM after installation unless iRoamly support tells you to. Many travel eSIMs cannot be reinstalled after removal.
Check the plan details before relying on calls or texts. iRoamly travel eSIM plans may be data-only, and voice or SMS availability varies by plan.
Method 1: Install eSIM by Scanning a QR Code
Open Settings on the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024), then tap Network & internet.
You should see the Android network settings page with SIM, Wi-Fi, and data options.
Tap SIMs.
The phone should open the SIM management page where physical SIMs and eSIM profiles are listed.
Tap Add SIM.
Android should show the setup choice for adding a SIM profile to the phone.
Tap Download a SIM (shown on some Android versions as Set up an eSIM).
The phone should open the eSIM QR-code scanner.
Point the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) camera at the iRoamly QR code, then wait for Android to recognize the eSIM.
The scanner should show a QR scanning frame and begin reading the iRoamly eSIM information. Do not use a QR code that was already installed on another device.
Tap Download when Android shows the iRoamly eSIM profile.
The phone should start downloading the eSIM over Wi-Fi.
Tap Done after the download finishes.
The Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) should return to the SIMs page, where the new iRoamly eSIM profile appears.
Method 2: Install eSIM Manually
Open Settings on the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024), then tap Network & internet.
You should see the same Android network settings page used for QR setup.
Tap SIMs.
The SIM management page should open.
Tap Add SIM.
Android should show the setup screen for adding another SIM.
Tap Download a SIM (shown on some Android versions as Set up an eSIM).
The phone should open the QR scanner first, even when you plan to enter details manually.
Tap Enter code manually on the QR scanner screen.
Android should open the manual activation form.
Enter the iRoamly SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code, then tap Continue.
Use only the placeholder-style information shown in your iRoamly order email or account page. If iRoamly provides a confirmation code, enter it only if Android asks for it; otherwise leave that field blank.
Tap Download after Android finds the iRoamly eSIM profile.
The phone should download the manually entered eSIM over Wi-Fi.
Tap Done when the eSIM finishes installing.
The iRoamly eSIM should now appear in Settings > Network & internet > SIMs.
How to Confirm Your iRoamly eSIM Is Installed
Open Settings > Network & internet > SIMs, then look for the new iRoamly eSIM profile in the SIM list.
The installed profile may appear as iRoamly, Travel, or a carrier profile name assigned by the destination network.
Tap the iRoamly eSIM profile and confirm that Use SIM is turned on.
The eSIM details page should show the profile enabled. If the plan is data-only, do not expect calling or SMS controls to work unless your iRoamly plan specifically includes those services.
Configure eSIM for Mobile Data
Open Settings > Network & internet > SIMs, then tap the iRoamly eSIM profile.
The eSIM details page should show data and roaming controls for that profile.
Tap Mobile data or Data preference, then choose the iRoamly eSIM for mobile data.
The phone should use the iRoamly eSIM for cellular data while keeping your primary SIM available if you still need it for calls or texts.
Turn on Roaming for the iRoamly eSIM if your iRoamly plan or destination instructions require it.
After arriving at the destination, the phone should connect to the supported local network. Keep Wi-Fi off briefly when testing mobile data so you can confirm the eSIM connection.
Troubleshooting
If Add SIM, Download a SIM, or Set up an eSIM is missing, update Android, restart the phone, and confirm that your Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) variant and carrier support eSIM.
If the QR code will not scan, increase screen brightness on the device showing the QR code, clean the Moto camera lens, or use the manual method with the SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code.
If Android says the QR code was already used, do not delete and retry repeatedly. Contact iRoamly support because many eSIM QR codes can be installed only once.
If the eSIM stays pending, keep the phone on Wi-Fi, leave the setup screen open, and restart the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) only after the download stops progressing.
If the iRoamly eSIM appears but mobile data does not work, choose the iRoamly profile for mobile data, turn on roaming if required, disable unwanted automatic switching to your primary SIM, and test again away from Wi-Fi.
If you need calls or SMS, check the iRoamly plan page. Do not assume those services are included unless the specific plan says so.
If the phone is a carrier-locked or region-specific version, eSIM setup may be blocked even when the same model name supports eSIM elsewhere.
Conclusion
For the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024), scanning the iRoamly QR code through Settings > Network & internet > SIMs > Add SIM is the quickest route when the QR code is displayed on another device. Manual setup follows the same Motorola Android path, then uses Enter code manually with the iRoamly SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code if scanning is not practical.
After installation, the strongest check is the SIMs page: the iRoamly profile should appear, Use SIM should be on, and mobile data should be assigned to that eSIM before travel use. Enable roaming for the iRoamly line when your destination plan requires it, keep the profile installed, and remember that plan validity starts from activation rather than from reading this guide.
