How many eSIMs can I have on my phone?

Most phones store between 5 and 10 eSIM profiles but activate only one or two at a time. iPhones before the 13 store up to 8 profiles and run one at a time. iPhone 13 and newer run two active eSIMs at once with no physical SIM needed. Samsung phones typically store 5 to 7 profiles. Switching between stored HelloRoam profiles requires no new QR code scan.

Is dual SIM the same as eSIM?

Dual SIM and eSIM are different things. Dual SIM means a phone accepts two SIM cards, whether two physical cards or one physical card plus one eSIM. An e-sim is a digital SIM built into the phone's hardware with no physical card needed. Many modern phones combine one physical slot with one eSIM slot, so you can keep your Telstra or Optus number active while HelloRoam handles your data overseas.

Is eSIM available on all carriers?

eSIM availability depends on your carrier and handset. In Australia, Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone AU all support eSIM on compatible phones. HelloRoam works across 145+ mobile networks in 175+ countries, independently of your home carrier. Your phone just needs eSIM hardware and a carrier-unlock to get sorted.

Is Honor 400 Lite compatible with eSIM?

The Honor 400 Lite does not support eSIM. Honor reserves eSIM for select international flagship models. Budget devices in the Honor Lite range use physical SIM cards only. If you're planning a trip to Bali, Japan, or New Zealand and want to use HelloRoam, you'll need an eSIM compatible handset. Check our full device list for compatible options.

Is the LG V60 ThinQ eSIM compatible?

The LG V60 ThinQ supports eSIM only on the T-Mobile US variant. Other regional V60 ThinQ models use physical SIM cards only. LG stopped making smartphones in 2021, so no further software support is coming. If you have the T-Mobile V60 ThinQ, check your lock status before buying a HelloRoam plan and confirm your exact regional model number.

What Android phones have eSIM?

Android phones with eSIM include Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, Google Pixel 2 and newer, OnePlus 9 and newer, Motorola Razr series, and select Xiaomi, Oppo, and Sony Xperia flagships. eSIM support varies by manufacturer, model, and the region where the handset was sold. Chinese and some Hong Kong variants often drop eSIM even when the global version includes it. Check your exact model before buying a HelloRoam plan.

What devices are compatible with eSIM?

eSIM compatible devices include smartphones such as iPhone XS and newer and Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, tablets like iPad Pro from 2018 and iPad Air from 2019, cellular smartwatches from Apple Watch Series 3 onwards, and select Windows 10 and 11 laptops with LTE or 5G. Devices must be carrier-unlocked and not tied to Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone AU to use HelloRoam plans across 175+ countries.

Can I transfer eSIM to a new phone?

An eSIM cannot be moved to a different phone once it is installed. Your HelloRoam eSIM stays tied to the original device where you activated it. If you swap phones, contact HelloRoam support with your order number and our team can re-issue a new activation code if your plan is still active. Keep your order confirmation email handy so we can find your account quickly.

Can I switch between eSIM and physical SIM?

Switching between your eSIM and a physical SIM is easy. Go to your phone's cellular settings, choose your preferred line as the default data connection, and toggle as needed. No restart is required and no hardware to swap out. You can keep your Telstra or Optus physical SIM in the tray while HelloRoam eSIM handles your data across 175+ countries when you travel.

Do smartwatches need a separate eSIM for travel?

Smartwatch eSIM plans work with your home carrier account, not with international travel providers like HelloRoam. When you're in Bali, Japan, or London, your Apple Watch connects to your iPhone's HelloRoam eSIM data via Bluetooth for calls, texts, and notifications. Standalone international plans for Apple Watch from Australian carriers typically cost an extra 10 AUD or more per month as a separate add-on.

Can tablets use eSIM for data-only plans?

Cellular iPads and Android tablets with eSIM hardware work with HelloRoam data-only plans. Compatible iPad models include iPad Pro from 2018 onwards, iPad Air from 2019, iPad mini from 2019, and the standard iPad from 2019. Wi-Fi-only tablets have no cellular hardware and cannot use eSIM. Confirm you have the Wi-Fi plus Cellular version before buying a HelloRoam plan.

What if my device shows an eSIM not supported error?

An eSIM not supported error usually means the handset is carrier-locked to Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone AU, a software update is pending, or the regional variant doesn't include eSIM hardware. Dial *#06# and check whether an EID appears. If no EID shows, the device has no eSIM hardware and cannot be upgraded. Contact HelloRoam support to confirm compatibility before you buy a plan.

How do I check if my device is unlocked for eSIM use?

To check whether your phone is carrier-unlocked on iPhone, go to Settings, General, About, and look at Carrier Lock. If it reads No SIM restrictions, you're sorted. On Android, insert a SIM from a different network. If the phone connects, it's unlocked. In Australia, Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone typically process unlock requests within 2 to 5 business days for eligible, fully paid-off devices.

What should I do if my eSIM is not recognised?

If your eSIM is not being recognised, restart your phone and install any pending software updates first. Then confirm the eSIM profile is set to active in your cellular settings. Most recognition issues clear up after a restart. If the problem continues, contact HelloRoam support with your device model and order number. Our team can re-verify or re-issue your activation code.

How to know if my phone is unlocked

To check if your phone is carrier-unlocked, open Settings, tap General, then About, and scroll to Carrier Lock. If it reads No SIM restrictions, your handset is unlocked and ready for a HelloRoam eSIM. You can also dial *#06# to display your IMEI alongside an EID. On Android, go to Settings, Connections, SIM Card Manager and look for a carrier lock indicator. If your phone is locked, contact Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone AU and request a device unlock.

How to tell if an iPhone is unlocked

To check if an iPhone is carrier-unlocked, open Settings, tap General, then About, and look for Carrier Lock near the bottom of the screen. If it reads No SIM restrictions, your iPhone is unlocked.

Does iPhone 11 have eSIM?

Apple added eSIM to the iPhone XS and XR in 2018, and every iPhone from the 11 series onwards includes it. Your iPhone 11 eSIM setup requires iOS 12.1 or later and a carrier-unlocked device. The iPhone 11 runs one physical nano-SIM alongside an eSIM, so your Telstra or Optus number stays active while HelloRoam handles travel data in 175+ countries.

HelloRoam is a global eSIM provider offering instant mobile data in 175+ countries. Buy prepaid travel eSIM plans with no extra fees, no contracts, and instant activation on any eSIM-compatible device.

eSIM does not run on every phone. The chip must be built into the handset at the factory. eSIM compatible phones include iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, and Google Pixel 2 and newer. Budget Android models and phones made before 2018 simply don't have the hardware. HelloRoam works on any eSIM supported phone that is carrier-unlocked and running a current OS version.

Your phone shows eSIM compatibility through its settings. On iPhone, open Settings, tap General, then About, and look for an EID number. On Android, dial *#06# and check whether an EID appears next to your IMEI. An EID confirms the chip is present. Your handset also needs to be carrier-unlocked, not tied to Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone AU, to install a HelloRoam plan.

Old phones cannot use eSIM because the technology requires a dedicated chip built into the device at the factory.

Every iPhone 11 through 16 model and the SE (2020 and 2022) include eSIM. iPhone X, 8, 7, and 6 have no eSIM hardware. iPhones bought in mainland China lack eSIM on all models.
