Airalo does not provide a genuinely unlimited data eSIM for China.
The plans advertised as “Unlimited” grant a maximum of 3GB of high‑speed data per day. Once the daily quota is reached the network speed is throttled to 1000kbps, after which the connection stays active but at a reduced speed. Therefore, although the name suggests unlimited data, the plan imposes a daily cap and subsequent speed reduction.
Instead, Airalo offers fixed‑data plans that give consistent high‑speed data without throttling. For example, an Asialink 100GB plan offers 100GB of 5G data for 180 days at $89.00, and a Chinacom 50GB plan delivers 50GB for 30 days at $49.00. A 20GB Asialink plan is also available for 30 days. These options provide larger data allowances, often at a more cost‑effective rate for travelers who need extensive internet use in China.
Airalo does not offer a China eSIM that includes a phone number or SMS capability. Only data‑only eSIM plans are available for China. Travelers wishing to make calls or send texts can instead use popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage over the data connection.
Airalo offers 18 single‑country data plans that cover China and 40 multi‑country plans that include China. The available plans run from about $4 to $89 and provide data caps ranging from 1 GB up to 100 GB. Some plans provide a fixed amount of data for the whole validity period, while others offer a daily data cap that refreshes each day.
