EtravelSIM eSIM Data Plans for China

EtravelSIM does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data plan for China. The plans labeled “Unlimited” give a daily data allowance – for example, the China eSIM Unlimited offers 4 GB per day and, once that daily limit is reached, speeds drop to 128 kbps; the China, Hong Kong & Macau Unlimited supplies 1 GB per day with speeds reduced to 256 kbps after the cap is hit.

Users who need more data can choose fixed‑amount plans, such as the 50 GB for 30 days plan at $39.99 USD or the 20 GB for 30 days plan at $22.99 USD. These plans supply a set amount of high‑speed data without daily throttling, and may be more cost‑effective unless the traveler is an extremely heavy data consumer.

EtravelSIM does not provide China eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability. The only offerings for China are data‑only eSIMs, which enable internet access without traditional voice or text services. Travelers wishing to make calls or send messages can use popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection.

EtravelSIM offers a total of 18 different data plans for China – 9 single‑country plans and 9 multi‑country plans. The plans vary in cost from about $4.50 up to $60, with data caps ranging from 1 GB to 50 GB and validity periods of 7 to 30 days. Some plans are fixed‑data (e.g., 5 GB, 10 GB, 20 GB, 30 GB, 40 GB, 50 GB) while others provide daily data caps (typically 1 GB, 2 GB, 3 GB, 4 GB, 5 GB, 6 GB) that reset each day. The selection also includes a few plans that apply a reduced speed tier (256 kbps or 128 kbps) for certain usage scenarios.
