eSIM vs Physical SIM: Which Is Better for International Travel?

An eSIM is a digital profile built directly into your phone. A physical SIM is a removable plastic chip you insert by hand. How does an eSIM work in practice: scan a QR code to add a travel e-sim plan, and your phone connects to a local network at your destination. You never need to carry spare SIM cards or find a shop at the airport. An international data plan on eSIM costs far less than daily mobile data rates from Jio and Airtel. eSIM iPhones from iPhone XS onwards, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, OnePlus 9 and newer, and Google Pixel 3 and newer all support this. HelloRoam connects you to local networks in 185+ countries.

On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!

Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.

International Data Plan Glossary

How Does an eSIM Work?

An eSIM works by storing a carrier data profile inside your phone's built-in chip. HelloRoam sends a QR code to your email after purchase. Scan it in your phone settings before your flight and the e SIM activates on arrival. No SIM counter at Delhi IGI or Mumbai CSI needed. Setup takes under five minutes.

eSIM for International Travel

An e-sim is one of the most cost-effective options for international travel because it replaces expensive Jio or Airtel roaming packs. Jio charges around ₹575 per day and Airtel charges around ₹596 per day. HelloRoam travel plans start from ₹98.03 across 185+ countries with a refund on unactivated eSIMs within 180 days.

eSIM Card

An eSIM card is the embedded chip inside compatible smartphones that stores your carrier profile digitally. Unlike a physical SIM, an e SIM card holds multiple profiles at once. Keep your Jio or Airtel number active for calls while a HelloRoam travel profile handles your data on the same Samsung Galaxy, iPhone, or OnePlus device.

eSIM Disadvantage

The main disadvantage of an eSIM is device compatibility. Older and budget Android phones still require a physical SIM card. An eSIM profile is also not transferable once installed on a device. Most flagship phones released after 2020, including iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, and OnePlus 9 and newer, support eSIM natively.
