Yes, you can use encryptSIM with a jailbroken or rooted device. However, we do not provide technical support for jailbroken or rooted devices.

What Is Jailbreaking or Rooting?

‍

• Jailbreaking (iOS) and rooting (Android) are processes that remove the software restrictions imposed by Apple or Google. This allows users to gain full control (or “root” access) over their devices, modifying system files and installing apps outside of official app stores.

• Jailbreaking typically involves bypassing Apple’s security features, while rooting Android devices allows users to gain privileged control over the OS and software.

Why jailbreak or root your device?

‍

• Full Control Over Your Device – Customize and tweak settings beyond manufacturer limitations.

• Install Third-Party Apps – Access apps not available on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

• Remove Bloatware – Get rid of pre-installed apps forced by manufacturers or carriers.

• Advanced Network Tweaks – Modify networking settings, potentially increasing privacy and bypassing some carrier restrictions.

Risks of Jailbreaking or Rooting Your Device

‍

• Security Vulnerabilities – Jailbreaking removes built-in security protections, making your device more susceptible to malware, spyware, and hacking attempts.

• No Official Software Updates – Rooted or jailbroken devices may not receive official OS updates, leaving you exposed to security risks.

• App Incompatibility – Some apps, such as banking, payment, and security apps, may not work on jailbroken devices due to security concerns.

• Voided Warranty – Most manufacturers void warranties if a device is jailbroken or rooted.

Should You Jailbreak or Root Your Device?

We only recommend jailbreaking or rooting if you are a highly technical user who understands the security trade-offs. If you rely on your device for secure communications, financial transactions, or sensitive work, it’s best to keep your device unmodified.

encryptSIM will function on jailbroken and rooted devices, but we do not provide support for troubleshooting issues on these devices. If you choose to jailbreak or root, ensure you have the necessary security precautions in place to protect your data and privacy.
