eSIMatrix eSIM Data Plans for China

eSIMatrix does not currently offer an unlimited data eSIM plan for China. Travelers seeking larger data allowances can select from fixed data options, for example the China 20 GB – 30 days plan priced at $21.00 USD, which provides 5G coverage throughout China, or the Asia 20 GB – 15 days plan for $39.50 USD, which delivers 20 GB of data valid for 15 days and covers China alongside 11 additional countries. These examples illustrate some of the higher‑data plans available, but they do not represent the full list. Choosing a fixed data plan is generally more cost‑effective for most users unless they are extremely heavy data consumers.

eSIMatrix does not provide a China eSIM that includes a phone number or SMS capabilities. The provider only offers data‑only plans for that destination.

Without a voice or text number travelers can still communicate by using over‑the‑top services such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage, which run over the data connection and allow calls and messaging without the need for a traditional phone number or SMS.

eSIMatrix provides a total of 20 data plans that cover China: 4 plans that are specific to China alone and 16 plans that combine China with other destinations. The single‑country options are all fixed data packages ranging from 3 GB to 20 GB and last between 5 and 30 days. The multi‑country bundles also use fixed data amounts in the same 3 GB to 20 GB range, but offer the ability to travel across several countries while maintaining the same data cap. Prices for these plans vary from about $4.50 to $41.00, giving travellers a broad spectrum of both budget and higher‑cap choices.
