eSIM is safe for banking. The GSMA, which manages global eSIM standards, requires end-to-end encryption for all eSIM profile downloads. HelloRoam eSIMs use the same security framework as physical SIM cards. Your banking app works exactly the same on an eSIM connection as it does on your Jio or Airtel mobile network at home in India.
eSIM has three main limitations. First, an eSIM is not transferable between devices once it has been installed. Second, eSIM is not available on every phone as older models do not have the hardware. Third, in a small number of countries, eSIM access is restricted. For most Indian travellers, these are minor concerns, and the cost savings over Jio or Airtel international roaming are very significant.
An eSIM for international travel is a digital SIM card built into your phone that you activate with a QR code before your flight.

eSIM has two main disadvantages. First, an eSIM stays locked to the first device after installation. You cannot move it, so switching phones mid-trip means contacting HelloRoam support for a replacement QR code. Second, eSIM only works on unlocked, eSIM-compatible phones. iPhone XR and older models, along with many budget Android phones sold in India, do not have the hardware.

Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer models are eSIM compatible, as are the Galaxy Note 20 and Z Fold series. Older Samsung models and some budget A-series phones do not have eSIM hardware. To confirm, open your Samsung settings, go to Connections, then SIM manager, and check if Add eSIM or Add mobile plan appears in the menu.
eSIMs are one of the best tools for international travel from India. Buy and install a HelloRoam plan before departure from Delhi or Mumbai, skip the SIM card hunt at the airport, and connect to local networks the moment you land. Compared to Airtel World Roaming or Jio International Pack, HelloRoam local plans save you up to 90% on international data, saving up to 84% compared to carrier roaming.
HelloRoam does not support top-ups on existing eSIM plans. If you run out of data, buy a new plan for the same country from your HelloRoam account dashboard. The new plan installs on your existing eSIM profile. Fixed plans (3GB to 20GB) suit most trips from India. Unlimited plans remove the worry of running out entirely, which is useful for longer stays abroad.
An eSIM connects to carrier networks the same way a physical SIM does, so standard network-based location tracking applies. HelloRoam does not share your location data with third parties. If privacy is a concern while travelling, use a VPN on your device alongside your HelloRoam eSIM connection.
Most modern Samsung Galaxy phones (S21 and later, Z Fold/Flip series) support eSIM. Check your specific model in device settings under Mobile Networks to confirm eSIM support.
HelloRoam eSIM plans install alongside your existing physical SIM from Jio, Airtel, or Vi, not instead of it. Your home carrier SIM stays in your phone for calls and messages in India. The HelloRoam eSIM sits on a separate digital line and handles your international data. On iPhone XS and newer, both lines run at the same time with no SIM swap needed.
