China: staying connected without the hassle

What to know before you go, and how to stay online once you land.

Travelling in China means moving between Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an and Guilin. Our eSIM keeps you connected across all of it, from landing to departure.

Network coverage in China

Our China eSIM connects to the local China Unicom, China Mobile and China Telecom networks, so you get 5G and 4G data on the same masts residents use. Many international services are filtered inside China. A travel eSIM routes through international networks, which changes what you can reach compared with a local SIM. The Beijing–Shanghai high-speed line is covered end to end, tunnels included.

How much data do you need?

Budget 500 MB to 1 GB per day for maps, messaging and the occasional video call. If you plan to navigate continuously or work on the road, unlimited works out simpler than topping up.

What you get

  • 5G and 4G data on the China Unicom network in China
  • QR code delivered by email within minutes of ordering
  • Install before you fly, activates on arrival in China
  • Keep your own number for calls and text messages
  • Fixed data packs or unlimited daily data, from a few days to a month
  • No contract, no deposit and no roaming bill afterwards

Setting up your China eSIM

Setup takes about two minutes: your QR code arrives by email straight after checkout, you scan it before you leave, and the plan activates when you land in China. No physical SIM, no queue at the airport, and your usual number stays active for calls and texts.

Whether you are in China for a long weekend, a work trip or several weeks on the road, the same eSIM covers it — you simply pick the amount of data that matches the length of the stay.

Prepaid, no contract and no deposit: a straightforward way to have mobile data in China from the moment you arrive.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything travelers want to know before they buy — quick and clear.

An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your phone. You activate data instantly by scanning a QR code — no plastic SIM to swap, no queue for a local card. Ideal for travelers who want fast, reliable internet the moment they land.
Most phones released since 2018 support eSIM — including iPhone XS and newer, recent Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel models. You can confirm your exact model with our free compatibility checker, or dial *#06# and look for an EID number.
It starts when you activate the eSIM, not when you buy it. Install it before you leave and switch it on once you land — your data days only begin then.

It comes down to how your high-speed data is counted.

  • Limited plan — a fixed amount of high-speed data (5 GB, 10 GB…). Once it's gone, you buy another plan.
  • Unlimited — 1 GB per day at full 5G/4G speed, then 512 kb/s until midnight.

With Unlimited, your connection is never cut off: only the speed drops once the daily allowance is used, and full speed is back the next morning. At 512 kb/s, messaging, WhatsApp, maps and email all work fine.

Yes. Your eSIM is data-only and works alongside your normal SIM, so your usual number stays active for calls and texts. WhatsApp, iMessage and other apps run over the data as usual.
You'll receive a QR code by email. Scan it with your camera while connected to Wi-Fi, follow the on-screen steps, and you're ready in about 2 minutes — no app required.
No. Your eSIM works alongside your physical SIM, so you keep both. Just set the eSIM as your data line and you're good to go — no swapping, no lost SIM cards.
Yes. You can share your connection by hotspot or tethering with a laptop, tablet or a friend's phone, exactly like a normal data plan.
On a limited plan you can buy a new plan or top-up anytime from your account. Want zero worries? Choose an unlimited plan and stay connected every day of your trip.
Never. You pay once, upfront, for the data you choose — no contracts, no auto-renewals, and no roaming bills from your home carrier.
Yes. If your eSIM hasn't been installed and something isn't right, our team will help you fix it or refund you. Support is available every day.
No — it's a one-time payment. You pay once for the plan you choose, with no recurring charges and nothing to cancel. When you need more data, you simply buy another plan.
