Airalo eSIM Data Plans for China

Airalo does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data plan for China. Plans branded as “Unlimited” give 3GB of high‑speed data per day and after that limit is reached the connection speed drops to 1000kbps.
If you need a larger amount of data without the daily cap, Airalo offers fixed data plans. For example, the Asialink 100GB plan is valid for 180 days and costs $89, while the Chinacom 50GB plan is valid for 30 days and costs $49. These fixed‑data options can be more cost effective for travelers who use a lot of data but do not require a truly unlimited daily allowance.

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 provides a total of 53 distinct eSIM plans for China, split into 18 single‑country offerings and 35 multi‑country packages. The available plans vary significantly in price—from roughly $4 to $97 USD—and in data capacity, ranging from 1 GB up to 100 GB. Among the catalog, 15 plans use a daily data cap, limiting consumption each day, while the remaining 38 plans feature a fixed data cap that applies for the full validity period of the plan. These options give travelers flexibility whether they need short‑term data or a longer‑lasting data budget.
