Mainland China eSIM Data-Only Plan with Hotspot Sharing

The smart way to stay connected in China

A China eSIM is a digital SIM that sits inside your phone, so you avoid physical SIM cards, paper packs, and searching for kiosks after you land. Once you purchase your plan, you follow the instructions to download and activate the eSIM using a QR code, then your data plan is ready for use across mainland China. You pick from 7, 15, or 30 consecutive days with a data allowance that matches your trip, from a 500MB 7-day emergency kit up to 18GB for longer stays, and stay online for maps, apps, and browsing without relying on traditional roaming.

Benefits, convenience & more

Your eSIM gives you high-speed 5G data across mainland China, with options of 500MB, 1GB, 3GB, 5GB, 9GB, 10.5GB, or 18GB so you can match usage to how you travel and avoid typical roaming costs. Coverage spans nationwide in mainland China, excluding Hong Kong and Macau, and hotspot sharing is supported, which can help you connect a laptop or another device on the go. Data access works with services like Gemini, ChatGPT, and TikTok, so you can navigate, research, or unwind using the tools you are used to.

How to use

1. Choose your China eSIM plan for 7, 15, or 30 consecutive days and complete your booking; you will receive a QR code and instructions to obtain the eSIM.
2. On your device, open Settings; on iOS, go to Cellular, and on Android, go to SIM Card Management.
3. Add a new cellular plan and scan the QR code from your eSIM instructions to download and install the China eSIM.
4. When you arrive in mainland China, turn on the eSIM in your device settings so mobile data starts working on the local network for your selected validity period.
