A few things to know before you scan the QR code:
- •Open the QR code on a second device (your laptop or another phone) so you can scan it with your Pixel.
- •Keep your Wi-Fi connection stable the whole time. Dropping connection mid-scan causes errors.
- •The QR code is single-use. Once scanned, it cannot be used again.
- •Don't delete the eSIM after installing it. An eSIM is not transferable between devices once installed, so deleting it means losing your plan.
A few things to know before you start the manual install:
- •Each manual activation code is single-use. Don't share it or enter it twice.
- •Stay on Wi-Fi the whole time. Losing your connection mid-install can cause errors.
- •Once installed, this eSIM is locked to your Pixel. An eSIM is not transferable between devices once installed, so removing it means losing your plan.

Google Pixel Tips Worth Knowing
- eSIM Transfer:When setting up a new Pixel, you can move your HelloRoam eSIM wirelessly during the device setup flow. Bear in mind: a HelloRoam eSIM is tied to your original device and is not transferable once installed outside of that setup window.
- Dual eSIM (Pixel 9):Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL run two active eSIMs at the same time. Keep your Australian number live and use a HelloRoam local data plan in Bali, Japan, or London.
- Fast Setup:Stock Android on Pixel has fewer setup steps than any other Android device. Most travellers are connected in under 2 minutes.
- Android 15 Users:On Android 15, the SIM path changed to Settings > Network and Internet > Internet > tap the + icon next to SIMs.
FAQs
Google Pixel phones with eSIM support start from the Pixel 3 and cover every model after it: Pixel 3 XL, 3a, 3a XL, 4, 4 XL, 4a, 4a 5G, 5, 5a 5G, 6, 6 Pro, 6a, 7, 7 Pro, 7a, 8, 8 Pro, 8a, 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, and Pixel Fold. All are eSIM compatible phones that work with HelloRoam plans. You need Android 9.0 (Pie) or later. The Pixel 10 ships with no physical SIM tray at all.
The eSIM option on Google Pixel sits at Settings > Network and Internet > SIMs > Add SIM on most models. On Android 15 running on the Pixel 9 series, the path is Network and Internet, then Internet, then tap the plus icon beside SIMs. Stuck? Type SIM into the Settings search bar and it comes up straight away.
You can add a HelloRoam eSIM to any supported Pixel without scanning a QR code. Go to Settings > Network and Internet > SIMs > Add SIM, choose Enter details manually, then type in the SM-DP+ address and activation code from your HelloRoam confirmation email. The manual option works on every supported Pixel model.
Google Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL each run two eSIM profiles at once with no physical SIM required. That is a useful setup for Australians who want to keep their home number active while using a local data plan in Bali, Japan, or the UK. The Pixel 8, 7, and 6 families handle one eSIM alongside one physical SIM. Manage both at Settings > Network and Internet > SIMs.
Pixel phones from the Pixel 7 onward can move an e-sim profile wirelessly during new device setup. When you power on your new Pixel, follow the on-screen prompt to transfer from your old handset. HelloRoam eSIMs bind to the original device once installed and are not transferable after that. If the wireless transfer does not go through, ring our support team and a fresh QR code arrives within 2 hours on average.
Open Settings > Network and Internet > Mobile network and look for an eSIM or SIM option. If it's there, your Pixel supports eSIM. The Pixel 9 works with all Australian carriers including Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone AU. You can also search your Pixel model number on Google's support site to double-check before buying a plan.
