A few things to know before you scan the QR code:
- •Open the QR code on a second device (your laptop or another phone) so you can scan it with your Pixel.
- •Keep your Wi-Fi connection stable throughout. Dropping connection mid-scan causes errors.
- •The QR code is single-use. Once scanned, it cannot be scanned again.
- •Do not delete the eSIM after installing it. It is tied to this device and cannot be moved or reused.
A few things to know before you begin the manual install:
- •Each manual activation code is single-use. Do not share it or enter it twice.
- •Stay on Wi-Fi throughout. Losing your connection mid-install can cause errors.
- •Once installed, this eSIM is locked to your Pixel. Removing it means you cannot use it again.

Google Pixel Tips Worth Knowing
- eSIM Transfer:When setting up a new Pixel, you can transfer your HelloRoam eSIM wirelessly during the device setup flow. Note: a HelloRoam eSIM is tied to your original device and is not transferable once installed outside of this setup flow.
- Dual eSIM (Pixel 9):Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL run two active eSIMs at the same time. Keep your Indian number active on Jio or Airtel while using a HelloRoam travel data plan in Dubai or Singapore.
- Fast Setup:Stock Android on Pixel has the fewest setup steps of any Android device. Most travellers are connected in under 2 minutes.
- Android 15 Users:On Android 15, the SIM path changed to Settings > Network & Internet > Internet > tap the + icon next to SIMs.
FAQs
Google Pixel 7 is eSIM compatible, along with every Pixel model from Pixel 3 onward. The full list includes Pixel 3, 3 XL, 3a, 3a XL, 4, 4 XL, 4a, 4a 5G, 5, 5a 5G, 6, 6 Pro, 6a, 7, 7 Pro, 7a, 8, 8 Pro, 8a, 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, and Pixel Fold. You need Android 9.0 (Pie) or later. The Pixel 10 is eSIM-only with no physical SIM card slot, which makes it a strong choice for frequent Indian international travellers.
The eSIM setting on Google Pixel 7 and most Pixel models is at Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs > Add SIM. On Android 15 (Pixel 9 series), go to Settings > Network & Internet > Internet, then tap the plus icon next to SIMs. If you cannot find it, type SIM in the Settings search bar.
HelloRoam eSIM installation on Google Pixel without a QR code uses the manual entry option. Go to Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs > Add SIM and choose to enter the activation code manually. Type in the SM-DP+ address and activation code from your HelloRoam email. The exact steps vary slightly by Android version, but the manual option is available on all supported Pixel models.
Google Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL support dual eSIM, so two eSIM profiles run at the same time with no physical SIM card needed. This is useful for Indian business travellers who need to keep their Jio or Airtel number active while using a HelloRoam data plan in Dubai, London, or New York. Pixel 8, 7, and 6 series support one eSIM plus one physical SIM. Manage SIMs at Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs.
Google Pixel phones support wireless eSIM transfer during new device setup starting from Pixel 7. Follow the on-screen prompt when setting up your new Pixel to move the profile from your old device. HelloRoam eSIMs are tied to the original device and are not transferable once installed. If wireless transfer does not work, contact HelloRoam support and the team issues a new QR code within 2 hours on average.
You check eSIM support on your Pixel by opening Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile network and looking for an eSIM or SIM option. The Pixel 9 supports eSIM on all major carriers. You can also search your specific Pixel model number on the Google support site to confirm compatibility before purchasing a HelloRoam plan.
