Compare China eSIM plans

China eSIM plans differ by coverage, data allowance, trip length and what happens after the high-speed data is used. Choose China-only coverage for a mainland China trip, or a Greater China plan if the itinerary also includes Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan.

Swipe horizontally to compare plan details.

Plan Coverage and network Data and validity After high-speed data Plan starts Best for
China 5G eSIMView plan Mainland China; China Unicom or China Telecom 1GB for 7 days through 100GB for 90 days Continues at up to 128kbps after the total high-speed allowance is used First connection to a supported network A China-only trip with a set total data allowance
China Unlimited eSIMView plan Mainland China; China Unicom or China Telecom 1–180 days; 1.5GB of high-speed data per 24 hours Continues at 1Mbps until the high-speed allowance resets First connection to a supported network A China-only trip with heavier daily data use
China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan eSIMView plan Mainland China on China Unicom; CSL or SmarTone in Hong Kong; CTM in Macau; Taiwan Mobile in Taiwan 1GB for 7 days through 100GB for 90 days Continues at up to 128kbps after the total high-speed allowance is used First connection to a supported network A route across China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan with a set total data allowance
China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan Unlimited eSIMView plan Mainland China on China Unicom or China Telecom; CSL or SmarTone in Hong Kong; CTM in Macau; Taiwan Mobile in Taiwan 1–180 days; 1.5GB of high-speed data per 24 hours Continues at 1Mbps until the high-speed allowance resets First connection to a supported network The same four-destination route with heavier daily data use

These plans are data-only, support hotspot or tethering and must first connect within 180 days of purchase. They provide 4G or 5G where available, but signal, speed and 5G access depend on the supported network, location, device and local conditions.

Choose fixed or unlimited data

A fixed-data plan gives you one high-speed allowance for the stated validity period, with no daily high-speed cap. It can suit travellers who know roughly how much data they will use for maps, messaging, translation, transport bookings and general browsing. Once the allowance is used, data continues at up to 128kbps.

The unlimited plans work differently. They provide 1.5GB of high-speed data in each 24-hour period, followed by 1Mbps until the allowance resets. The 24-hour period runs from the time the plan first activates. This can suit longer trips or travellers who want continued phone data after the daily high-speed allowance, but it is not unrestricted high-speed data.

For travel beyond Greater China, compare the Asia 5G eSIM 13 Countries, Asia Pacific 5G eSIM 27 Countries or Asia Unlimited eSIM 13 Countries. Wider itineraries may suit the Orange Global Explorer eSIM 124 Countries, Orange Global Explorer eSIM 180+ Countries or World Explorer 5G eSIM. Coverage, data and activation rules differ, so check the selected product before installation. You can also browse the Asia eSIM range.

Networks, VPN routing and mobile apps in China

The four China-focused plans use Singtel as the eSIM provider and connect to supported local networks. The China-only fixed and unlimited plans list China Unicom and China Telecom. The Greater China fixed plan lists China Unicom in mainland China, while the Greater China unlimited plan lists China Unicom and China Telecom. Both Greater China plans also list CSL or SmarTone in Hong Kong, CTM in Macau and Taiwan Mobile in Taiwan.

All four plans list automatic VPN routing for use in mainland China. This removes the need to configure a separate VPN for the eSIM data connection, but it is not a guarantee that every third-party website or app will always be available. Access can change for reasons outside TravelKon’s control.

Check compatibility and activation before buying

Your phone must support eSIM and be unlocked from its mobile provider. Check the exact model and regional variant before purchase. Dialling *#06# displays an EID on many compatible phones, although the manufacturer’s specifications remain the safest check.

The four China-focused plans begin when they first connect to a supported network, not when they are purchased. Install the eSIM on stable Wi-Fi, select it for mobile data and enable data roaming for that line when instructed. Do not delete an installed eSIM unless the product instructions tell you to do so, as it may not be transferable or reinstallable.

See the TravelKon eSIM setup guide for installation steps. If the eSIM does not connect after arrival, follow the troubleshooting guides. Travellers whose phone does not support eSIM can compare the China physical SIM card range.

Need help installing or connecting? Follow the eSIM setup guide or troubleshooting guides, or contact TravelKon through WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger.

The data-usage checker is available for supported plans only. Check the selected product page for any other usage-check method.

China eSIM FAQs

Can I buy and install my China eSIM before arriving?

Yes. You can buy the eSIM before travel and install it using stable Wi-Fi. Follow the instructions in the product email and keep the eSIM installed. The four China-focused plans start when they first connect to a supported network.

When does the China eSIM plan start?

The four China-focused plans begin when they first connect to a supported network, not when they are purchased. Check the selected product’s instructions because regional and global alternatives can have different activation rules.

Does the eSIM include VPN routing, and are individual apps guaranteed to work?

The four China-focused plans list automatic VPN routing for mobile data in mainland China, so you do not need to configure a separate VPN for that eSIM connection. Access to an individual website or app cannot be guaranteed and may change for reasons outside TravelKon’s control.

Is my phone compatible with a China eSIM?

Your phone must support eSIM and be unlocked from its mobile provider. Check the exact model and regional variant before buying. Dialling *#06# displays an EID on many compatible phones, although the manufacturer’s specifications are the safest check.
