Troubleshooting Moto G Power & Stylus eSIM
"Download a SIM instead" option missing: Carrier lock is the most common cause. Metro by T-Mobile and Cricket lock devices for 6-12 months. Contact your carrier to request unlock. Also check if your model is the 2023 version — that model has no eSIM hardware.
eSIM installed but no data abroad: Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → select Roamix eSIM → set as default data SIM → enable Data Roaming. Toggle Airplane Mode on/off.
QR code scan fails: Must be on Wi-Fi. QR code is single-use — contact Roamix support for a replacement. Use "Enter code manually" with SM-DP+ address as fallback.
"eSIM not supported on this device": You have the 2023 model without eSIM hardware, or a regional variant that does not include eSIM. Check Settings → About phone for the exact model year.
