Transparency Notice
- Service Provider Name (SPN)
- That's HelloRoam you see up in your phone's status bar, not a mystery reseller name. The SPN is a standard field baked into every eSIM profile, and most travel eSIM resellers do not bother provisioning their own.
- Public Network Name (PNN)
- HelloRoam holds a registered Public Network Name, the official carrier identity filed with telecommunications authorities. HelloRoam is recognized as a licensed service provider, not a white-label reseller.
- Access Point Name (APN)
- Your HelloRoam eSIM sets its own Access Point Name automatically when it installs, so your mobile locks onto the strongest local network without you touching a single setting.
What you see is our standard retail pricing across 185+ countries, nothing marked up for the page you landed on. Plans get recommended off real traveller feedback and actual network performance, not guesswork. Unactivated eSIMs qualify for a 180-day refund.
