Find plans for your trip

Choose a starting point, then select your exact trip length. A longer-validity plan can also suit a short trip. Results cover selected plans, not the whole market.

Short trips · up to 7 days · 8–14 days · 15–30 days

Need more than 30 days? Check the provider directly; this selection may not cover your whole trip.

Check more than data

A data-only eSIM does not guarantee a phone number or SMS verification. Confirm hotspot, activation and fair-use terms for your exact plan.

Read the China setup guide ↗

Choosing a China eSIM?

Start with your trip length and total data, then check activation, hotspot and essential apps. Prices below cover selected packages, not the whole market.

Check Google and WhatsApp guidance →

Already connected, but apps are slow?

Identify the symptom and contact your provider before buying a replacement. These comparisons do not rank real-world app performance.

Before you buy for China

Mainland China plans only. Hong Kong, Macao and multi-destination packages are not included in this comparison. Check your exact route and device before buying. Your phone must support eSIM and be unlocked for another carrier. Match the model number and purchase region, not just the phone’s marketing name.

Check compatibility ↗

Read the clock, not just the price.

Installation, activation and plan validity are different. Some plans begin on first connection; others may start after a purchase deadline. Use the exact plan’s activation instructions.
