Does the Motorola Edge 60 support eSIM?
Motorola Edge 60 eSIM compatibility
Yes, the Motorola Edge 60 supports eSIM. The device ships with nano-SIM + eSIM capability, though support is region-dependent. If you purchased your Motorola Edge 60 in North America, Europe, or most Asia-Pacific markets, you have eSIM functionality. Some regions—particularly where carriers haven't widely adopted eSIM—may receive versions with dual physical SIM trays instead.
Check your phone's packaging or the Settings menu under Network & internet > SIMs to confirm. If you see an option to "Add eSIM" or "Download a SIM," your Motorola Edge 60 has eSIM enabled.
Dual SIM on the Motorola Edge 60
The Motorola Edge 60 runs one physical nano-SIM and one eSIM simultaneously. You can keep your home carrier in the physical slot and add a travel eSIM for data abroad, or use two different numbers—one for work, one for personal calls. The device does not support dual eSIM; you'll always need at least one physical card if you want two active lines.
How to set up an eSIM on the Motorola Edge 60
Install your eSIM profile
Setting up an eSIM on the Motorola Edge 60 takes about sixty seconds. You'll receive a QR code from your eSIM provider by email. Make sure you have a stable Wi-Fi connection before you start.
- Open Settings and tap Network & internet.
- Tap SIMs, then tap the + icon or Add eSIM.
- Select Download a SIM instead? or Scan QR code.
- Point your camera at the QR code your eSIM provider sent. The Motorola Edge 60 will read it automatically.
- Tap Download and wait while the profile installs—usually ten to thirty seconds.
- Once installed, give your eSIM a label like "Travel" or "Work" so you can identify it easily.
- Choose which SIM to use for mobile data, calls, and texts in the SIM preferences screen.
Activate and manage your eSIM
After installation, toggle the eSIM on in Settings > Network & internet > SIMs. You can switch your default data line anytime, turn either SIM on or off, and manage separate APN settings if your carrier requires them. The Motorola Edge 60 remembers your preferences, so you won't need to reconfigure every time you travel.
Using a travel eSIM on the Motorola Edge 60
Stay connected abroad without roaming fees
A travel eSIM gives you mobile data in another country without paying your home carrier's roaming charges. Instead of hunting for a local SIM card at the airport, you install an eSIM before you leave. The moment you land, your Motorola Edge 60 connects to a local network and you have data for maps, ride-share apps, and messaging.
Install the eSIM a day or two before your flight so you can troubleshoot any issues at home. Most travel eSIMs activate when they detect the destination network, though some let you choose your start date. Your physical SIM stays in the tray, so you still receive calls and texts on your regular number. You'll find plans for over 190 countries when you browse eSIM plans—pick the data allowance and duration that match your trip.
Set your travel eSIM as the data line
Once you arrive, open Settings > Network & internet > SIMs and set your travel eSIM as the default for Mobile data. Leave your home SIM as the default for calls so people can still reach you. This setup means you use affordable local data rates while keeping your usual phone number active for voice and SMS.
Tips & troubleshooting
Turn on data roaming for your eSIM
The Motorola Edge 60 treats your eSIM like any other line, so you must enable data roaming for it to work abroad. Go to Settings > Network & internet > SIMs, tap your travel eSIM, then tap Roaming and toggle it on. This sounds counterintuitive—"roaming" usually means expensive—but because the eSIM is a local plan, you're roaming on that carrier's partners at the rate you already paid for. Your home SIM can stay off for data to avoid accidental charges.
Fix an eSIM that won't activate
If your QR code won't scan, check that your camera lens is clean and the code is displayed at full brightness. You can also enter the activation details manually: tap Enter activation code instead of scanning, then type the SM-DP+ address and activation code your provider sent. Restart the Motorola Edge 60 after installation if the eSIM doesn't appear in your SIM list. If you're still stuck, eSIM setup help can walk you through carrier-specific steps.
Keep your home SIM for two-factor codes
Many banks and apps send authentication codes by SMS. Leave your home SIM active—even with data turned off—so you receive these messages. The Motorola Edge 60 lets you pick which SIM handles data and which handles calls and texts independently, so you won't miss a login code while using your travel eSIM for internet.
Check eSIM compatibility before you buy
If you're buying a Motorola Edge 60 secondhand or importing one, verify the region variant supports eSIM. The easiest way is to ask the seller to screenshot the SIMs menu showing the "Add eSIM" option. You can also check another device's eSIM compatibility if you're comparing models.
