eSIM cannot run on every phone.

HelloRoam works on any eSIM compatible phone that is carrier-unlocked and running a supported OS version.
eSIM compatible phones include iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, and Google Pixel 2 and newer. Your phone must be carrier-unlocked to use an eSIM from HelloRoam. To confirm compatibility, go to Settings, then Cellular on iPhone, or Settings, then Network, then SIM manager on Android, and check for an 'Add eSIM' option.
Old phones cannot use eSIM. eSIM requires dedicated embedded hardware that must be built into the device during manufacturing. Phones released before 2018, including iPhone X and earlier and Samsung Galaxy S10 and earlier, do not have this hardware and cannot be upgraded. If your current phone does not support eSIM, you need to upgrade to a compatible model to use HelloRoam plans.
Not all iPhones have eSIM. Only iPhone XS, XS Max, XR, and all models from September 2018 onwards support eSIM, including the full iPhone 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 series. The iPhone SE (2nd gen, 2020) and SE (3rd gen, 2022) also support eSIM. iPhone X, 8, 7, 6, and the original SE do not. iPhones purchased in mainland China and Hong Kong do not support eSIM even on newer models.
Google Pixel phones support eSIM starting from the Pixel 2. All Pixel models from Pixel 2 through Pixel 10 support eSIM, including the Pixel Fold and Pixel 9 Pro series.

Your Pixel must be carrier-unlocked to install a HelloRoam plan.

On an iPhone, go to Settings, then General, then About, and look for an EID number. On Android, dial *#06# and check if an EID appears alongside your IMEI. You can also go to Settings, then About Phone, then Status. If an EID is present, your phone has eSIM hardware and can run a HelloRoam plan. This check works on Jio-compatible unlocked phones as well.
Not all Android phones support eSIM. Compatibility depends on the manufacturer, model, and the region where the phone was sold. Flagship models from Samsung (Galaxy S20 and newer), Google (Pixel 2 and newer), and OnePlus (9 series and newer) include eSIM hardware. Most budget and mid-range models do not. Chinese and Hong Kong regional variants often lack eSIM even when the global version supports it.
Older phones cannot be upgraded to support eSIM. eSIM requires a dedicated hardware chip built into the device during manufacturing. If your phone does not have this chip, no software update or accessory can add it. Phones like iPhone X and earlier, Samsung Galaxy S10 and earlier, and most phones from before 2018 will never support eSIM. To use HelloRoam, you need an eSIM-compatible device.
