Product FAQ

How will I get the QR code to install this eSIM?

Once purchased, you will receive a QR code via email. You must activate it within 30 days at your destination, or the plan will expire.

Can I scan and install the data plan and use it later?

You can install the plan by scanning the QR code before your departure but take note once the QR code is scanned, the days' validity period will commence. Ensure that you connect to an available WiFi network for the installation of the data plan. Be sure to plan your usage according to the number of days the SIM card will remain valid.

Can I install the plan without an active internet connection?

No. You must be connected to WiFi or an internet connection to install this plan.

Can I transfer my eSIM from one phone to another phone?

Once the eSIM code is scanned on one phone, it cannot be transferred to another phone because the plan tied to the code is specific to the original phone it was scanned on.

My existing local phone number is an eSIM line. Can I still use this eSIM together with my local eSIM phone number?

Phones have the capability to install multiple eSIM profiles, but their active use is limited to just one (1) or a maximum of two (2) eSIMs concurrently. For instance, Samsung phones that support eSIM functionality can utilize just one (1) eSIM at a time, in addition to one (1) physical SIM card. Therefore, you have the option to temporarily deactivate your local phone number eSIM and switch to this eSIM for your travel needs, or you can opt for a physical travel SIM card and operate both lines simultaneously.

How good is the network coverage of this eSIM?

The eSIM covering China, Hong Kong, and Macau uses China Unicom in China, either SmarTone or CSL in Hong Kong depending on the assigned plan, and CTM in Macau.

If I finish using my data, can I continue to access the internet at a reduced speed?

Yes, however, the speed will decrease to 128kbps.

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

You certainly can. Using WhatsApp to call is free of charge.

Is the data in this eSIM 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. For additional information on usage, you can read our general FAQ here.

Can I use this eSIM on a new phone?

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

Connectivity was good except at Kunming (jinbi area) where I could not pay the vendor via my touch & go.

Seamless experience , helpful customer service .

I bought their E-SIM to use in China. First time for everything right . What more from what I know China not able to use IG, FB, google but with this E-SIM it’s so good . No VPN needed even. I’m definitely going to purchase again when I go travel other countries next time . ☺️

Also want to shout out to the CS named Haley , who assisted me throughout my trip . I couldn’t estimate the exact data balance I have and I kept WhatsApp the CS number and the girl replied so fast and she’s so helpful and understanding too .
Thank you so much !

I have been using this line into my second month in China. So happy and relieved to have this usage. Line is steady and efficient. Hope that there will be support for long term usage. 20G for me finish every 10 days.

Reliable and Hassle-Free Travel eSIM

I used the eSIM Greater China during my recent 10 days trip to Macau, Shen Zhen & Hong Kong, and it worked perfectly! The activation was smooth and hassle-free, and I had stable internet throughout my journey in China. It was so convenient not having to switch physical SIM cards. Highly recommended for travelers!

Efficient And Reliable

I have been in China for almost a month now. Have no problem in usage and is really reliable. About to buy my 3rd package. Wish have a better rate for those on yearly use.

eSIM Greater China

Ease of use. Convenient, too. Only thing, certain parts around Great Wall area poor coverage; otherwise, it's pretty good.

Good connection!!

Overall it is great! Works well with E wallet, Gmail, Yahoo mail, Google and Whatsapp. Able to use as Hotspot. No problem for the internet!

Just have some small problem and confuse with the initial setting as 1st time user.

Please make sure the main line network data need to off and switch to E Sim as primarily before switch on the Roaming mode button. If fail to setting earlier, once the roaming mode is on, the telco carrier will automatically activated the Daily international roaming package itself right immediately with Fix price which is not cheap😂😅. ( My telco plan is on with the international roaming service)

Customer service is excellent! very responsive and helpful.
Thumbs up for you! Please keep up the good work and service!
