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 throughout. Dropping connection mid-scan causes errors.
- •The QR code is single-use. Once scanned, it cannot be scanned again.
- •Don't delete the eSIM after installing it. It's tied to this device and cannot be moved or reused elsewhere.
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 throughout. 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 you cannot use it again.

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. Note: a HelloRoam eSIM is tied to your original device and is not transferable once installed outside of this setup flow.
- Dual eSIM (Pixel 9):Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL run two active eSIMs at the same time. Keep your UK number live and use a HelloRoam local data plan when you're on holiday in Spain or Portugal.
- Fast Setup:Stock Android on Pixel has the fewest setup steps of any Android device. Most travellers are connected in under 2 minutes.
- Android 15 Users:On Android 15, the SIM path changed to Settings > Network & Internet > Internet > tap the + icon next to SIMs.
