HelloRoam review
HelloRoam (Future Syncs Limited, London) sells travel eSIMs for 185+ destinations at helloroam.com and in its app, from 1 GB packs to 50 GB, and refunds any eSIM that has not yet connected to a network within 180 days of purchase. An independent, data-grounded review: we track 892 HelloRoam plans across 171 destinations, ranked against every other provider we cover on value, price and coverage. The verdict and standings are computed from data and never paid placement; every figure links to the plan that proves it.
HelloRoam is a capable travel eSIM, but not the value leader
Every HelloRoam plan we track is metered (a fixed data allowance), from $1.03 and $0.29/GB at best. Across the 18 providers we track it ranks #2 of 18 on value per GB, #2 of 18 on entry price and #14 of 18 on destination coverage, over 171 destinations. Pick HelloRoam if you mainly need maps, messaging and light browsing and want a fixed, low price. If squeezing the lowest price per GB matters most, eSIM For U edges it ($0.28/GB).
We earn a commission if you buy through HelloRoam links here, at no extra cost to you. In our recommended order those providers get a disclosed partner boost; it never changes a price, and lists sorted by price alone stay in price order.
