The Moto G55 supports eSIM on compatible regional models, which makes it a practical phone for installing an iRoamly travel eSIM before a trip. This guide assumes a Moto G55 5G running Motorola's stock-like Android 14/15 interface, where the eSIM path appears under Settings > Network & internet > SIMs.
Travelers usually receive an iRoamly QR code after purchase, but manual details are also useful if the QR code is on the same phone, the camera cannot scan it, or the setup screen asks for typed activation information. The steps below cover both paths from the first Settings screen through final mobile data setup.
Menu labels can vary slightly by software version, region, and carrier firmware. If your Moto G55 does not show Add SIM or Set up an eSIM, confirm that your exact model and carrier plan support eSIM.
Before You Set Up Your iRoamly eSIM
Connect the Moto G55 to stable Wi-Fi before starting the installation.
Make sure your Moto G55 is unlocked and that your regional model supports eSIM.
Keep your iRoamly QR code and manual details ready. Manual setup normally uses SM-DP+ Address, Activation Code, and sometimes Confirmation Code.
Install the iRoamly eSIM 1-2 days before travel when the plan terms allow it, but check your plan details first. iRoamly eSIM validity starts from activation, and the trigger can vary by plan, such as installation or first connection to a supported destination network.
Do not delete the eSIM after installation unless iRoamly support tells you to. Many travel eSIMs cannot be reinstalled after removal.
iRoamly plans may be data-only. Voice calls and SMS availability vary by plan, so check the specific plan page before relying on calls or texts.
Method 1: Install eSIM by Scanning a QR Code
Open Settings on your Moto G55 and tap Network & internet. You should see the connection settings page.
Tap SIMs. The phone should open the SIM management page where physical SIMs and eSIMs are managed.
Tap Add SIM. The Moto G55 should show options for adding another SIM profile.
Tap Set up an eSIM. The phone should open the eSIM setup flow.
Point the Moto G55 camera at the iRoamly QR code. Keep the full QR code inside the scanner until the phone recognizes the eSIM profile.
When the phone shows the iRoamly profile, tap Download. Keep Wi-Fi connected until the download finishes.
Method 2: Install eSIM Manually
Open Settings and tap Network & internet. This is the same starting point used for QR setup.
Tap SIMs to open the Moto G55 SIM management page.
Tap Add SIM so the phone can start adding another SIM profile.
Tap Set up an eSIM to open the Android eSIM setup screen.
On the QR scanner screen, tap Enter code manually. Use this option when the QR code is on the Moto G55 itself or when scanning does not work.
Enter the SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code exactly as shown in your iRoamly order details. If iRoamly provides a Confirmation Code, enter it in the optional field; otherwise leave it blank. Tap Continue.
Review the iRoamly profile details and tap Download. Leave the phone on Wi-Fi until Android finishes adding the eSIM.
How to Confirm Your iRoamly eSIM Is Installed
Go to Settings > Network & internet > SIMs and look for iRoamly Travel eSIM under the eSIM section. If it appears there, the profile is installed on the Moto G55.
Tap iRoamly Travel eSIM and check that the profile page opens. The Use SIM switch confirms whether the line is available to the phone.
Configure eSIM for Mobile Data
On the iRoamly Travel eSIM page, turn on Use SIM. If Android asks whether to use the line, confirm the choice.
Return to Settings > Network & internet > SIMs, tap Mobile data, and choose iRoamly Travel eSIM. This sets iRoamly as the data line for travel.
Open iRoamly Travel eSIM again and turn on Roaming if your iRoamly plan or destination instructions require it. Keep your primary SIM from taking mobile data if you want to avoid home-carrier roaming charges.
Troubleshooting
Add SIM or Set up an eSIM is missing: confirm your Moto G55 regional model supports eSIM, update Android if available, restart the phone, and check whether your carrier firmware blocks eSIM setup.
QR code already used: do not delete the installed eSIM. If the QR code was scanned on another phone or the profile was removed, contact iRoamly support before trying again.
QR code will not scan: raise screen brightness on the device showing the QR code, clean the Moto G55 camera lens, or use Enter code manually.
Manual setup fails: recheck the SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code. Extra spaces, missing characters, or a wrong confirmation code can stop activation.
eSIM stays pending: keep Wi-Fi on, leave the phone on the setup screen for a few minutes, then restart the Moto G55 if the status does not change.
No data after installation: choose iRoamly Travel eSIM for Mobile data, turn on Use SIM, enable Roaming when required, and test after arriving in a supported destination.
Calls or SMS do not work: many travel eSIM plans are data-only. Check the iRoamly plan details before expecting voice or text service.
Conclusion
With your iRoamly eSIM successfully installed on the Moto G55, you're ready to stay connected without relying on local SIM cards during your trip. Before departure, take a moment to confirm that the eSIM is enabled, assigned for mobile data, and configured according to your destination's network requirements.
Once you arrive, simply activate the appropriate data settings and your Moto G55 should connect to a supported network automatically. If any issues arise, the troubleshooting steps in this guide can help you get back online quickly so you can focus on enjoying your travels instead of managing connectivity.
