A few things to know before you scan the QR code:
- •Open the QR code on a second device (your laptop or another phone) before you start scanning.
- •Stay on Wi-Fi the entire time. Losing connection mid-install can cause errors.
- •Each QR code works for one scan only. After a successful scan, the code expires and cannot be used again.
- •Do not delete the eSIM after installing it. An eSIM is not transferable between devices once installed, so deleting it means losing your plan.
A few things to know before you start the manual install:
- •Each manual activation code is single-use. Don't share it and don't enter it twice.
- •Keep a stable Wi-Fi connection throughout. A dropped connection can interrupt the install.
- •This eSIM locks to your device once installed. It is not transferable to another phone, so do not remove it unless you no longer need it.

Samsung Galaxy Tips Worth Knowing
- OneUI 6.0+ UsersOn OneUI 6.0+, SIM Manager may appear as 'SIM card manager' under Settings > Connections. Same path, different label.
- Dual eSIM SupportGalaxy S24 supports two active eSIMs at the same time. Keep your South African number live while running a HelloRoam travel data plan in the UK, Dubai, or Australia.
- Update FirstRunning the latest OneUI version reduces eSIM errors. Update your Galaxy before you travel, not after.
FAQs
The Samsung Galaxy S20, S21, S22, S23, and S24 series (including Plus, Ultra, and FE models) all appear on the samsung esim phone list, along with the Z Fold 2 through 5, Z Flip through Z Flip5, and Note 20 series. These are the samsung phones with esim support. Your phone must run OneUI 3.0 or later (Android 11+). Most A-series budget models lack eSIM hardware, so check your spec sheet before buying a plan.
Samsung Galaxy stores eSIM settings in SIM Manager, found at Settings > Connections > SIM Manager. On OneUI 6.0 and newer, it may appear as SIM card manager under the same path. If you can't find it, type SIM Manager in the Settings search bar and it comes up right away.
HelloRoam eSIM installs on Samsung without a QR code using manual entry. Open Settings, then Connections, then SIM Manager, then Add eSIM, and choose Enter activation code manually. Type the SM-DP+ address and activation code from your HelloRoam confirmation email. Both codes arrive in the same email within 5 minutes of purchase.
Samsung Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra all support dual eSIM, so two eSIM profiles run at the same time with no physical SIM card required. This is a practical setup for South Africans heading to the UK or Australia who want to keep their local number active while running a HelloRoam data plan. Manage both lines in Settings > Connections > SIM Manager.
Try these 4 fixes in order: update OneUI to the latest version, confirm the phone is carrier-unlocked, clean the camera lens, and scan in good light at about 15 cm distance. If none work, switch to manual entry in SIM Manager. Still stuck? HelloRoam support chat responds in under 2 hours.
