eSIM only runs on phones with an embedded SIM chip built into the hardware at the factory. Compatible models include iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, and Google Pixel 2 and newer. Phones from before 2018 and most budget Android models do not have this chip. HelloRoam works on any carrier-unlocked eSIM supported phone on the device list.
Your phone shows eSIM support in the settings menu. On iPhone, go to Settings, then General, then About, and look for an EID number. On Android, dial *#06# and check for an EID alongside your IMEI. An EID confirms your device has the eSIM chip. Your phone must also be carrier-unlocked to install a HelloRoam plan.
Older phones cannot use eSIM. The chip must be built in at the factory. Devices released before 2018, such as iPhone X and earlier and Samsung Galaxy S10 and earlier, do not have the hardware and cannot gain eSIM support through any software update. To use HelloRoam, you need an eSIM supported phone from 2018 or later.
