What is an eSIM? An eSIM is a digital SIM card built into your phone's hardware. You do not need a physical chip. Buy a HelloRoam plan, scan the QR code, and you are ready before you board your flight. Step-by-step guide
Unlimited data
Up to 5G support
Data sharing

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.
Set up once before you fly and stay online in 185+ countries with one global eSIM.
Your plan activates the moment you land at your destination. No setup needed at the airport, no searching for a SIM counter, no ISD pack to configure.

Join business travellers, families, and frequent flyers who trust HelloRoam for instant data in 185+ countries at a fraction of carrier roaming costs. No contracts, no daily bills, no bill shock. 24/7
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.
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 ₹97.86 across 185+ countries with a 180-day money-back guarantee.
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.
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.
Get the app. Travel without worries.
Manage all your eSIMs in one place, whether you are in Dubai, Singapore, or anywhere abroad.

A 5GB eSIM plan covers most travellers for a one-week holiday if you use maps, WhatsApp, and light browsing without heavy video streaming.

HelloRoam prepaid eSIM plans require no contract, so you can upgrade before your next trip.

Mint Mobile is a US-only domestic carrier. Indian travellers cannot sign up because Mint Mobile requires a US address, a US payment method, and a US phone number to activate any plan.
