Coverage and how it works in China
Your China eSIM connects to local partner networks, so you get the same mobile data coverage as a domestic SIM without swapping the card in your phone. Install the QR code over Wi-Fi before you fly; the plan starts when it first connects to a network in China.
Data-only plans keep your home number reachable for calls and SMS over Wi-Fi, and you can top up mid-trip if you run low. Most modern phones are eSIM compatible — check your device before ordering.
