These pages are updated. I will make a revision of Hong Kong and mainland China soon, as some offers are outdated.

Well, when it comes eSIM: This is tricky as there are only a few, but growing number of smartphones on the market (and some tablets) that can handle eSIMs. Have in mind that Apple (the manufacturer of most eSIM devices) for instance has a significantly lower market share than Android devices in Europe, Asia and Africa. And only few high-end phones of Apple and some others can handle eSIMs.

Furthermore, there are some local providers now offering eSIM, but the growing registration rules counteract this development. What help is it to get an eSIM, when you have to register on location to activate. In Asia only few countries or territories like Hong Kong are registration-free.

To cut a long story short: When an offer is offered as eSIM too, it's mentioned in the text. As it's mostly for a few approved phones, this is mentioned to, if available. But the eSIM options are not featured, as they may be only suitable for a few so far.
