MUST READ BEFORE BUYING
The two plans work in opposite ways. Check which one you are buying.

8 DAYS, 12GB: activate in Malaysia before you fly.
Insert and activate the SIM while you are still in Malaysia. If you only insert it after you land, activation fails and the SIM cannot be used. Then use it in China or Macau within 30 days of activation.
15 DAYS, 15GB: do not insert the SIM until you land.
Insert it only after you arrive in China or Macau. If you put it in your phone in Malaysia, your 15 days start counting straight away and you lose days before your trip even begins.

Where it works: China and Macau only. It does not work in Hong Kong or Taiwan.
8 days, 12GB: how to activate in Malaysia, before you fly
  1. Insert the SIM into slot one. On a dual SIM phone it must be slot one.
  2. Turn on Mobile Data and Data Roaming, then open any website.
  3. Leave the SIM in for 5 to 20 minutes until an activation SMS arrives. That SMS is your confirmation that it worked.
  4. Use the SIM in China or Macau within 30 days of activation.

Your 8 days of data start only when you arrive in China or Macau, not when you activate.

15 days, 15GB: how to set up after you land
  1. Leave the SIM in its packaging until you arrive in China or Macau.
  2. On arrival, insert the SIM into slot one.
  3. Turn on Mobile Data and Data Roaming. Settings > Mobile Networks.

Your 15 days start the moment you insert the SIM, so do not insert it before you travel.

The difference between the two plans: the 8 day plan slows to 512kbps once the 12GB is used and cannot be topped up. The 15 day plan cuts off once the 15GB is used and can be topped up, with instructions in the packaging.

Both plans: no registration required, data only so no calls or SMS, and hotspot is supported. Networks are China Unicom in China and CTM in Macau. Access popular apps in China without a separate VPN. Gemini AI is unavailable. TikTok works on iPhone only and is not available on Android.

Product FAQ

How do I activate the 8 day plan?

In Malaysia, before you fly. Insert the SIM into slot one, turn on Mobile Data and Data Roaming, then open any website. Leave it in for 5 to 20 minutes until an activation SMS arrives. That SMS confirms activation is complete. Then use the SIM in China or Macau within 30 days.

How do I set up the 15 day plan?

Do not insert it before you travel. Keep the SIM in its packaging until you land in China or Macau, then insert it into slot one and turn on Mobile Data and Data Roaming.

Can I activate the 8 day plan after I land in China?

No. It must be activated while you are still outside China. If you wait until you have landed, activation fails and the SIM cannot be used at all.

What happens if I insert the 15 day plan in Malaysia?

Your 15 days start counting straight away, so you lose days before your trip even begins. Keep it in the packaging until you arrive.

When does my plan validity start?

8 day plan: when you arrive in China or Macau, not when you activate in Malaysia. 15 day plan: the moment you insert the SIM. For both, each day ends at 12am GMT +8.

How long do I have after activating the 8 day plan?

30 days. You must use the SIM in China or Macau within 30 days of activating it in Malaysia, so activate close to your departure rather than weeks ahead.

Does this SIM work in Hong Kong or Taiwan?

No. This SIM covers China and Macau only. For Hong Kong or Taiwan please use our Hong Kong or Taiwan plans instead.

How good is the network coverage of this SIM card?

In China you are on the China Unicom network, one of the country's largest operators. In Macau you are on the CTM network.

I am travelling to both China and Macau. Do I need to change any settings?

No. Just keep Data Roaming on and it switches over automatically. If it does not pick up a network when you arrive, search manually and connect to China Unicom in China or CTM in Macau.

If I finish my data, can I still surf at a slower speed?

8 day plan: yes, the speed slows to 512kbps once the 12GB is used. 15 day plan: no, data cuts off once the 15GB is used.

Can I top up data?

Only on the 15 day plan. Instructions to top up are in the packaging. The 8 day plan cannot be topped up.

How do I check my remaining data?

8 day plan: dial *118*50#. 15 day plan: dial *118*55#.

Facebook is blocked in China. Can I still access it with this card?

Yes. Popular apps work without a separate VPN. Gemini AI is unavailable, and TikTok is supported on iPhone only.

Can I use WhatsApp to chat and make calls with this card?

Yes, and calling over WhatsApp saves you money. Note that this SIM is data only, so it has no phone number and cannot make normal calls or send SMS.

Is the data inside this card enough for my usage?

An average person uses about 4GB (4000MB) of data over a 15 day period. Usage is likely to be lower when travelling overseas for leisure, as most of the time will be spent sightseeing or participating in outdoor activities.

What are the shipping rates and how long will it take for my purchase to arrive?

Can I use this SIM card in a new phone?

Make sure you make at least 10 to 15 minutes calls and receive calls to unlock the phone so it can be used with overseas SIM cards.
