A few things to know before you scan the QR code:
- •Open the QR code on a second device, like your laptop or another phone, before you start scanning.
- •Stay on Wi-Fi the whole time. Losing connection mid-install can cause errors.
- •Each QR code works for one scan only. After a successful scan, the code expires and you can't use it again.
- •Don't delete the eSIM after you install 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 and don't enter it twice.
- •Keep a stable Wi-Fi connection throughout. A dropped connection can interrupt the install.
- •This eSIM locks to your device once you install it. An eSIM is not transferable to another phone, so don't remove it unless you no longer need it.

Samsung Galaxy Tips Worth Knowing
- OneUI 6.0+ UsersOn OneUI 6.0+, SIM Manager may show as 'SIM card manager' under Settings > Connections. The label changes but the path stays the same.
- Dual eSIM SupportGalaxy S24 supports two active eSIMs at the same time. Keep your Irish number live while running a travel data plan in Spain, Portugal, or wherever you're headed.
- Update FirstRunning the latest OneUI version cuts down on eSIM errors. Update your Galaxy before you travel.
FAQs
Samsung phones supporting eSIM include the Galaxy S20 through S24 series (Plus, Ultra, and FE variants), Z Fold 2 through Z Fold 5, Z Flip through Z Flip 5, and the Note 20 series. These cover the most popular eSIM compatible phones in Samsung's lineup. Your handset needs OneUI 3.0 or later, which runs on Android 11 or above. Most A-series budget models lack eSIM hardware, so check your model specs on Samsung's website before buying a plan.
Samsung Galaxy SIM Manager lives at Settings > Connections > SIM Manager on most Galaxy handsets. On OneUI 6.0 and newer, it may appear as SIM card manager under the same path. If you can't find it, type SIM Manager in the Settings search bar and it comes up right away.
Installing a HelloRoam eSIM on Samsung without a QR code is straightforward using manual entry. Open Settings, then Connections, then SIM Manager, then Add eSIM, and choose Enter activation code manually. Type the SM-DP+ address and activation code from your HelloRoam confirmation email. Both codes arrive in the same email within 5 minutes of purchase.
Samsung Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra all support dual eSIM, so two eSIM profiles can run at the same time with no physical SIM card needed. That's a handy setup for Irish travellers heading to Spain or the US who want to keep their home number active while running a local data plan. Keep in mind that your HelloRoam eSIM is not transferable between devices once installed. Manage both lines in Settings > Connections > SIM Manager.
Try these 4 fixes in order when your Samsung won't read the eSIM QR code: update OneUI to the latest version, confirm your phone is carrier-unlocked, clean the camera lens, and scan in good lighting at about 6 inches distance. If none of those work, use manual entry instead. Open SIM Manager, tap Add eSIM, choose Enter code manually, and type the SM-DP+ address and activation code from your HelloRoam email. Still stuck? HelloRoam support chat responds within 2 hours.
