eSIM for China mainland: what you get

34 plans for China mainland, starting at $0.99. Bundles run from under 1 GB up to 50 GB and stay valid for 1 to 180 days. Data runs on local operators in China mainland — 5G where the network reaches it, 4G/LTE everywhere else.

How it works

1. Pick a plan and pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
2. The QR code arrives by email straight away — scan it and the eSIM installs in about a minute.
3. Land in China mainland, switch mobile data over to the travel eSIM, and you are online.

Your usual SIM stays in the phone. Calls and texts keep arriving on your own number while data goes through the eSIM, so there is no roaming bill waiting for you at home.

Any eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone works: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, and recent Samsung Galaxy S, Note, Z Flip and Z Fold models.
