Mobile internet in China for travellers
Many apps travellers rely on, such as Google, WhatsApp and Instagram, are blocked on local Chinese connections. Travel eSIMs for China typically route data through partner networks outside the mainland, so these services usually keep working.
China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom cover Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and even remote areas well. Set up Alipay or WeChat Pay before you travel: mobile payments are used almost everywhere.
How to use your China eSIM
- 1Check that your phone supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked.
- 2Buy a China plan and receive your QR code by email.
- 3Install the eSIM before departure: Settings → Mobile data → Add eSIM → scan QR.
- 4On arrival in China, switch mobile data to the eSIM and enable data roaming for it.
Internet in China: a traveller’s guide
Coverage and networks
Our China eSIM connects to China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom. Coverage is strongest in cities, airports and along main travel routes; in remote or mountainous areas speeds may be lower, as with any mobile network.
How much data do you need in China?
Most visitors use between 0.5 and 2 GB per day in China, depending on how much they rely on maps, social media and video. We offer 66 plans starting at $1.99, so you can match the plan to your trip length.
eSIM or local SIM card in China?
Buying a local SIM card in China usually means finding a shop, registering with your passport and swapping out your home SIM. With an eSIM you buy online in minutes, install before departure and keep your home number for calls and WhatsApp.
Before you travel to China
Install the eSIM over Wi-Fi before your flight. When you land in China, select the eSIM for mobile data and turn on data roaming for it. Your plan’s validity only starts when it first connects in China.
China eSIM FAQ
Which is the best eSIM for China?
The best China eSIM depends on how much data you need. Light users usually choose 1–3 GB for a week, while travellers who use maps, social media and video calls prefer 10 GB or more. All our China plans run on reliable local 4G/5G networks and start at $1.99.
Can I use my phone’s hotspot with a China eSIM?
Yes. Personal hotspot (tethering) is supported, so you can share your China data with a laptop or tablet.
When does my China eSIM plan start?
The validity period starts when the eSIM first connects to a supported network in China, not when you buy it. You can install it days before your trip.
Does the China eSIM include a phone number?
Most travel eSIM plans are data-only. You can keep your regular SIM active for calls and SMS, or use WhatsApp, FaceTime and other apps over data.
How fast will I receive my China eSIM?
Instantly. Your QR code is shown on the order page and sent to your email, usually within one to two minutes after payment.
