Google Pixel 7 eSIM Compatible: Set Up Your Pixel eSIM

Per Google, every Pixel 4 or later phone supports eSIM, including the Pixel 10 and Pixel 11 series. Earlier models come with conditions. A Pixel 3a has no eSIM if it was bought with Verizon service or in Japan. A Pixel 3 has none if it came from a US or Canadian carrier other than Sprint or Google Fi, or was bought in Australia, Taiwan or Japan. The Pixel 2 supports eSIM only on phones bought with Google Fi service. In the US, the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL are eSIM-only and have no physical SIM tray.

On a Google Pixel, the eSIM option is under Settings > Network and internet > SIMs. Tap Add SIM and then Set up an eSIM. If the menu is not visible, search for SIM from the Settings search bar. Every SIM and eSIM on the phone is handled from that one SIMs screen.

Yes, it is possible. Instead of scanning, enter the details manually: go to Settings > Network and internet > SIMs, tap Add SIM, select Set up an eSIM and choose the option to type the details. Then paste the SM-DP+ address and activation code given in your HelloRoam email.

Yes. According to Google, the Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro and all later Pixels, the Pixel 9 series included, can keep 2 eSIM profiles active together if your carrier permits it. From the Pixel 3a onwards, any Pixel can also combine one physical SIM with one eSIM, apart from a Pixel 3a bought in Japan. US models from the Pixel 10 on, other than the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, are eSIM-only with no physical SIM slot. Both lines are managed at Settings > Network and internet > SIMs.

No, you cannot transfer an installed HelloRoam eSIM between two Pixel phones. The wireless eSIM transfer option in Pixel setup does not work for a HelloRoam eSIM, and scanning the same QR code again on the new Pixel does not work either. Do not delete the eSIM from your old Pixel. Before the eSIM first connects to a network your plan covers at your destination, email help@helloroam.com. Installing the eSIM at home does not count as that connection. We can issue a new eSIM for your new Pixel. After that first connection, the original code cannot be used again. We do not issue a new eSIM for a change of phone.

Only in the US. As per Google, US versions of the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL cannot take a physical SIM and run two active eSIMs instead. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold still has a nano SIM slot, and a Pixel 10 sold outside the US, in the UK for example, has one nano SIM plus one eSIM. All Pixel 10 models support eSIM, and HelloRoam plans for them start from ₹98.03.

Yes, all Pixel 7 models have eSIM: the Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 7a. Google confirms eSIM on every Pixel 4 and later phone. From the Pixel 7 onwards, two eSIMs can also be active together, if your carrier permits. You can verify this under Settings > Network and internet > SIMs by looking for Add SIM. Please note your Pixel must be unlocked for a HelloRoam eSIM to work.

Yes. Since Google confirms eSIM on every Pixel 4 and later phone, the Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 6a all support it. Each of them can run a physical SIM and an eSIM together, so your Jio or Airtel SIM remains in the tray while HelloRoam works as the eSIM. You add it under Settings > Network and internet > SIMs > Add SIM, and the Pixel has to be unlocked to use a HelloRoam eSIM.
