Does the Motorola Edge 60 Pro support eSIM?
Motorola Edge 60 Pro eSIM compatibility
Yes, the Motorola Edge 60 Pro supports eSIM. The device comes with a Nano-SIM slot plus eSIM capability, giving you flexible dual-SIM functionality. You can use one physical Nano-SIM card in the tray and activate an eSIM profile for your second line, whether that's a local number, work line, or travel data plan.
This configuration means the Motorola Edge 60 Pro supports dual SIM, but you're limited to one physical card plus one eSIM profile active at a time. The Edge 60 Pro does not support dual eSIM—you cannot run two eSIM profiles simultaneously without a physical SIM.
Which variants support eSIM?
Based on the official specifications, the Motorola Edge 60 Pro includes eSIM support across its standard release models. If you purchased your Edge 60 Pro through a major carrier or unlocked retailer, eSIM functionality should be available. That said, some carrier-locked or regional variants may restrict eSIM features depending on the network provider's policies. Check your phone's SIM settings (Settings > Network & internet > SIMs) to confirm eSIM appears as an option.
How to set up an eSIM on the Motorola Edge 60 Pro
Activate your eSIM in Settings
Setting up an eSIM on the Motorola Edge 60 Pro takes about 60 seconds once you have your QR code from your carrier or eSIM provider. Make sure you're connected to Wi-Fi before you start, because the phone needs an internet connection to download and activate the eSIM profile.
- Open Settings on your Motorola Edge 60 Pro.
- Tap Network & internet, then SIMs.
- Select Add a SIM or Add mobile plan.
- Tap Download a SIM instead? or Add using QR code.
- Point your camera at the QR code provided by your carrier or eSIM service (or enter the activation code manually if your provider supplies one).
- The phone will download the eSIM profile. This usually takes 10–30 seconds.
- Once installed, you'll be prompted to label your SIMs—name one "Personal" and the other "Travel," or whatever helps you tell them apart.
- Choose which line to use for mobile data, calls, and SMS by default. You can always switch these later in the SIM settings.
Label and manage your lines
After activation, go back into Settings > Network & internet > SIMs to customize each line. You can assign one SIM for data and another for voice, or turn off mobile data on your home SIM while abroad to avoid roaming charges. The Motorola Edge 60 Pro lets you toggle each line on or off independently, which is useful if you want to pause a subscription temporarily.
Using a travel eSIM on the Motorola Edge 60 Pro
Stay connected abroad without roaming fees
Travel eSIMs are the simplest way to get mobile data when you land in another country. Instead of hunting for a local SIM card at the airport or paying your home carrier's roaming rates, you install a travel eSIM before you fly. Your Motorola Edge 60 Pro will connect to a local network as soon as you arrive, and your home number stays active on the physical SIM for calls and text messages.
Browse regional and country-specific data plans at browse eSIM plans, then install the QR code while you're still at home on Wi-Fi. When you reach your destination, turn on data roaming for the eSIM line (more on that in the next section) and you're online.
Keep your home number active
Because the Motorola Edge 60 Pro supports dual SIM with a physical Nano-SIM and an eSIM, you don't lose access to your main number. Keep your home SIM active for voice calls and two-factor authentication codes, but switch mobile data to the travel eSIM. This setup gives you affordable data abroad and ensures you don't miss important calls or SMS messages.
Tips & troubleshooting
Turn on data roaming for your eSIM line
This catches many people: even though you've installed an eSIM, your Motorola Edge 60 Pro won't connect to the network unless data roaming is enabled for that specific line. Go to Settings > Network & internet > SIMs, tap your eSIM, then toggle Roaming on. (The term "roaming" here just means using a different network—it won't trigger roaming charges because you're on a local eSIM plan.)
At the same time, turn off data roaming on your home physical SIM to prevent accidental roaming fees from your main carrier.
Fix an eSIM that won't activate
If the QR code won't scan, check that your camera lens is clean and the code is clearly lit. You can also tap Enter activation code manually and type in the string your provider sent. If the profile downloads but shows "No service," restart your phone and wait a few minutes—network registration can take a moment, especially the first time.
Make sure your phone is carrier-unlocked. Some devices sold on contract are locked to a specific network, which blocks third-party eSIMs until you complete the unlock process with your original carrier. If you're still stuck, visit eSIM setup help for step-by-step troubleshooting.
Check compatibility for other devices
Wondering whether another phone or tablet in your household supports eSIM? Head over to check another device's eSIM compatibility for a complete list of models and setup guides. eSIM support varies widely across manufacturers and even between different releases in the same product line, so it's always worth confirming before you buy a plan.
