Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to what travelers usually ask about China Mainland.
It's a SIM that exists as software rather than a plastic card. You install it by scanning a QR code, and your phone picks up a mobile connection in China Mainland from there.
Installing it a day or two before departure is a good idea — the plan itself typically only starts counting once it connects to a network in China Mainland.
Locked phones typically block eSIM profiles from other providers, so you'll need an unlocked, eSIM-capable device for this to work.
After installing the profile, turn on data roaming for that eSIM line once you're in China Mainland — it connects to a local network automatically.
Most phones from 2018 onward support eSIM, including recent iPhones, Pixels, and Galaxy models — check your settings under "Add eSIM" to confirm.
Yes, tethering is supported on the China Mainland plan, so you can share the connection with a laptop or another device.
Yes — if you run low, you can purchase another China Mainland plan directly, no need for a new physical SIM or a store visit.
Your device's native usage tracker covers this — no extra app needed to see remaining data on your China Mainland eSIM.
If the eSIM hasn't been activated, it's usually refundable within a 30-day window — full details are on our Refund Policy page.
The Contact page has the quickest way to reach our team, and we try to respond to every message promptly.
It's standard practice across the eSIM industry — after the daily high-speed allowance, speeds typically reduce rather than data being cut off completely, which keeps unlimited plans usable for everyone on the network.
