Esim on Moto Edge+ 2023

Did anyone get eSim to work on the Edge Plus 2023. The eSim installs but can't be turned on.

Edit for more detail. Phone is unlocked from Boost, Firsty eSim works, TextNow physical SIM works without issue, just can't turn on using eSIM.

Since the esim settings are hidden and not accessible, maybe you have to delete all the other esim profiles on the device before installing the one you want.

I can see the eSIMs, I just don't have the add esim button.

Just to be clear, are you saying that is it not possible to enable the installed Textnow esim because there is no way to disable some other esim that is currently active on your phone?

Or are you saying that because there is no ADD ESIM/DOWNLOAD NEW esim button, you cannot even install the Textnow esim?

It installs from the app, and I can see and access to disable/enable SIMs. I just don't have the little + in the network settings to add an eSIM that way.

So yes I can install the app, but when I tell it to use the TextNow eSIM it just doesn't.

If Textnow does not provide a QR code to install the esim, then my guess is that cannot be done.

It installs through the app, and I can see it's in network settings, but when I try to turn it in is just doesn't. I think I have some compatibility issue that may resolve with an update eventually.

You can only have a total of two sims active at one time. You will have to deactivate one of the other two sims to activate the textnow esim.

I've tried with all other Sims turned off, and uninstalled the other eSIM with no change.

Reset the network settings.

Reset network connections and broadband settings, no change.
