eSIM runs only on handsets with an embedded SIM chip built into the hardware at the factory. eSIM supported phones include the iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, and Google Pixel 2 and newer. Handsets released before 2018 and most budget Android mobiles lack this chip entirely. HelloRoam works on any carrier-unlocked phone from the eSIM compatible phones list.
Your phone shows eSIM support inside its settings menu. On iPhone, open Settings, then General, then About, and look for an EID number. On Android, dial *#06# to check whether an EID appears alongside your IMEI. An EID confirms your handset has eSIM hardware. Your phone must also be carrier-unlocked to install a HelloRoam eSIM plan and get data whilst abroad.
Older handsets cannot use eSIM because they lack the embedded chip required for digital SIM profiles. Phones released before 2018, including iPhone X and earlier and Samsung Galaxy S9 and earlier, cannot add eSIM through any software update. The hardware must be present from the factory. To use a HelloRoam plan, you need a phone from the eSIM supported phones list, released in 2018 or later.
iPhones support eSIM from the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR released in September 2018 onward. All models in the iPhone 11 through iPhone 16 range include eSIM, as does the iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generation). iPhone X, 8, 7, and 6 do not have eSIM hardware. iPhones sold in mainland China and certain Hong Kong models also lack eSIM even on newer versions.
Google Pixel supports eSIM on every model from the Pixel 2 through the Pixel 10, including the Pixel Fold and Pixel 9 Pro series. The GSMA, which manages global eSIM standards, certifies Pixel handsets for eSIM use. Pixel 7 and newer can run two eSIMs at once without a physical SIM card. Your Pixel must be carrier-unlocked to install a HelloRoam plan.
The Honor 200 Lite does not support eSIM. Honor limits eSIM to select flagship models sold outside China. Budget and mid-range Honor handsets, including the 200 Lite, use physical SIM cards only.
