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 scanned again.
  • Do not delete the eSIM after installing it. An eSIM is not transferable between devices once installed, so deleting it means losing your plan.

Google Pixel Tips Worth Knowing

  • eSIM Transfer:When setting up a new Pixel, you can transfer your HelloRoam eSIM wirelessly during the device setup flow. A HelloRoam eSIM is tied to your original device and is not transferable once installed outside of this initial setup flow.
  • Dual eSIM (Pixel 9):Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL run two active eSIMs at the same time. Keep your Canadian number live on Bell, Rogers, or Telus and use a HelloRoam local data plan while you are away.
  • 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 plus icon next to SIMs.

Google Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL support dual eSIM, so two eSIM profiles run at the same time with no physical SIM card needed.

Pixel 8, 7, and 6 series support one eSIM plus one physical SIM. Manage your SIMs at Settings > Network and Internet > SIMs. Note: each HelloRoam eSIM is tied to the device it was activated on and is not transferable between phones.

Follow the on-screen prompt when setting up your new Pixel to move a profile from your old device.
