What do these guides cover?
Every guide on this page covers the same ground: what to do before you land, when to activate your eSIM at the airport, how to stretch data during your stay, and which traps catch travelers most often. The structure is identical from country to country. What changes is the local airport, the carrier on the ground, and any regional quirks like peak-season congestion or SIM registration rules.
Each destination guide links to a matching full roaming prevention guide for the same country, plus device settings for iPhone, Samsung, and Pixel. Guides are grouped by region below.
Each guide names the HelloRoam price for that country and the networks a HelloRoam eSIM connects through there. HelloRoam refunds an unactivated eSIM for 180 days.
