China eSIM

How to install a China eSIM?

Installing a China eSIM is simple and takes less than 90 seconds. After purchase, you'll receive a QR code — just scan it in your phone settings.

Supports iPhone XS+, Samsung Galaxy S20+, Google Pixel 3+, and other major models. Once installed, the eSIM permanently belongs to your device.

Where does this eSIM work in China?

This China eSIM operates on China Unicom's network, covering most cities and regions across China.

From Beijing's Forbidden City to Shanghai's Bund, from Guangzhou's Pearl River to Chengdu's ancient streets — enjoy stable connectivity wherever you travel.

Note: Due to China's internet policies, some international websites and apps may not be directly accessible.

What speeds can I expect in China?

China has world-leading 5G infrastructure. In major cities, you can expect extremely fast network speeds.

China Unicom provides 4G LTE and 5G coverage nationwide, with download speeds typically reaching 50-200Mbps in urban areas.

Unlimited plans offer 2GB of high-speed data daily, then throttle to 512Kbps without disconnection.

Should I install before or after arriving in China?

We strongly recommend installing before departure! Some international websites may be inaccessible in China, which could affect eSIM installation.

Install your eSIM and adjust settings before leaving, so you can connect immediately upon landing — useful for finding your hotel or contacting your driver.

How much data do I need for traveling in China?

It depends on your usage. In China, you might need:

• Map navigation (Gaode/Baidu Maps)
• Translation apps
• Ride-hailing (Didi)
• Mobile payments (WeChat Pay/Alipay)
• Video calls with family

We recommend 1-3GB per day. Heavy users should consider unlimited plans.

Will I pay roaming charges with a China eSIM?

Absolutely not! The eSIM connects directly to China's local network (China Unicom), bypassing your home carrier — zero roaming charges.

Remember to disable data roaming on your primary SIM before departure.

With eSIM, share your amazing journey from the Great Wall to West Lake, from the Forbidden City to the Terracotta Warriors!
