motorola razr - Add eSIM Profile
Here's how to activate the eSIM in your razr using a QR code.
- This phone comes with a pre-configured eSIM (embedded SIM) profile and doesn't require a physical SIM card. You'll need to obtain a new eSIM profile from Verizon if the preconfigured profile is deleted or disabled, or the phone is reset and eSIM profile data is lost.
- Only one eSIM profile can be active at a time.
These steps may be necessary if you've moved your device to a different line or performed a factory data reset and eSIM data was lost.
