FAQs
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM card built directly into your smartphone, tablet, or smartwatch that allows you to activate cellular plans electronically without inserting a physical SIM card. Unlike traditional SIM cards, eSIMs are reprogrammable, enabling you to switch carriers or plans instantly through software on compatible devices like iPhone 14, Samsung Galaxy S23, or Google Pixel 8.
Contact HelloRoam support through multiple channels: (1) Live chat available 24/7 on our website at helloroam.com/contact, (2) Email us at support@helloroam.com with your order ID for faster assistance (average response time under 2 hours), (3) Use the in-app Help section for instant answers to common questions, or (4) Check our comprehensive FAQ database. For urgent issues during travel, live chat provides the fastest resolution.
Refund eligibility varies by plan. Generally, refunds are available if the eSIM has not been installed or activated. Contact support with your order ID for refund requests. Once approved, refunds typically process within 5–14 business days depending on payment provider and bank processing times.
If the plan remains active, you can usually reinstall from your HelloRoam account (reissue QR or activation code). If the profile was consumed or expired, purchase or request a reinstall through support.
QR codes are typically single-use for security. If you need to reinstall, use the reinstall option in your account or contact support for a new activation method.
No, most HelloRoam eSIM plans are data-only and do not include traditional voice calling or SMS capabilities. These plans are optimized for internet connectivity, allowing you to browse, stream, and use apps. If you need voice calling, either choose plans that explicitly state 'Data + Voice' features, or use Voice over IP (VoIP) services like WhatsApp Calling, Skype, FaceTime Audio, or Google Voice over your eSIM data connection for free or low-cost international calls.
SMS support on eSIMs depends on your specific plan type and the local carrier network. Most HelloRoam data-only plans do not include SMS or voice capabilities and are designed exclusively for internet connectivity. If you need SMS functionality, select plans that explicitly include 'Data + SMS' or 'Data + Voice' features during purchase, or use internet-based messaging apps like WhatsApp, iMessage, or Telegram over your eSIM data connection.
5G support on HelloRoam eSIMs depends on the local carrier network included in your plan and your device's 5G compatibility. Many HelloRoam plans include 5G access where partner networks offer 5G coverage in major cities and urban areas. Your device must support 5G bands used in the destination country (check device specifications), and you'll automatically connect to the fastest available network (5G, 4G LTE, or 3G) based on coverage availability.
Yes, HelloRoam offers regional and global eSIM plans that provide seamless connectivity across multiple countries without changing SIM cards. For example, our Europe plans cover 30+ countries, and global plans cover 100+ destinations worldwide. Before purchasing, always check the plan's specific coverage map to confirm your destination countries are included. Multi-country plans automatically connect to local partner networks as you cross borders without requiring manual configuration or additional charges.
Temporary suspension may be possible depending on the plan and carrier. Contact support or check your dashboard for any pause/suspend options.
To check if your phone supports eSIM, go to Settings → Cellular (iPhone) or Settings → Network & Internet (Android) and look for 'Add eSIM' or 'SIM card manager' options. Most flagship phones released after 2018 support eSIM, including iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20+, Google Pixel 3+, and many modern Android devices. You can also dial *#06# to see if an EID (eSIM identifier) appears.
HelloRoam eSIMs eliminate expensive traditional roaming by connecting you directly to local carrier networks in your destination country at local rates. Instead of your home carrier charging roaming fees, your eSIM is provisioned with a local network partnership, giving you the same connectivity as residents. This means you avoid surprise roaming charges while getting high-speed local data. Your original SIM card can remain active for receiving calls but should have data roaming disabled to prevent dual charges.
