Check the plan page to confirm 5G availability for Boston.

Check your HelloRoam eSIM data two ways. The HelloRoam Dashboard at helloroam.com shows real-time usage, remaining balance, and plan expiry. On iPhone, go to Settings, then Cellular, then your HelloRoam eSIM line. On Android, go to Settings, then Network and Internet, then Data Usage. HelloRoam also sends an alert when you hit 80% so you can top up before you run dry mid-trip.
