1. Roaming turned on for the eSIM line
- Motorola: Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → (eSIM line) → Roaming turned on
2. eSIM as the data line
Network & internet → SIMs → under Data preference / Mobile data, pick the eSIM line and confirm it is active.
3. Force the network
- Airplane mode 10 seconds → off
- Restart the phone
- Still nothing? On the eSIM line: Automatically select network → turn it off and pick a local carrier
Still at home? "No service" is normal
Most travel eSIMs only connect in the destination country. At home it shows "no service" and that is not a defect. Installing it doesn't use up the plan: the days usually start counting when you connect at the destination with roaming turned on.
⚠️ Never delete the eSIM from your phone. With most providers the QR code installs only once: deleting the line can mean losing the plan. Removing the eSIM is a last resort, and only with guidance from the support team of whoever sold it to you.
