Which Devices Support eSIM in 2025
Your Easy Guide to eSIM-Compatible Devices (Updated July 2025)
Want to use an eSIM? Your device MUST have these:
1.eSIM Support: Built-in hardware/software for digital SIMs.
2.Unlocked: Not tied ("locked") to a specific phone carrier.
3.Untampered: Not jailbroken (iPhone) or rooted (Android).
Important Note: Device lists change. If yours isn't listed below or you're unsure, always check your device specs or ask the manufacturer/carrier directly. Some regional models (especially from China) often lack eSIM.
“Forget plastic SIM cards. The future of mobile connectivity is the eSIM – a tiny digital chip built into your device. Companies like Airsim make it incredibly easy to buy affordable local data plans before you even land. But before you download that eSIM for your next trip, there’s one crucial question: Does your device actually support it?. ”
Before You Buy an eSIM:
1.Confirm YOUR Device: This list is a guide, but always double-check your specific model number and region using your device settings or the manufacturer's website.
2.Check Carrier Compatibility: Ensure your mobile carrier supports eSIM activation on your device.
3.Is it Unlocked? Contact your original carrier if unsure about the lock status.
4.Use IMEI Checker (Optional): Some eSIM providers (like Airalo) have online tools to verify compatibility using your device's IMEI number.
Below is a complete and detailed summary of all eSIM and non-eSIM supported devices from the original documentation, categorized by manufacturer:
