Giga.Tel eSIM Data Plans for China

Giga.Tel does not provide a true unlimited data eSIM for China. All plans that carry the word “Unlimited” in their name, such as Global Unlimited 5 days, 7 days, 10 days, and 15 days, give customers a fixed high‑speed data allowance of 1 GB per day and then throttle speed to 512 kbps once that daily limit is reached.

Instead, travelers can choose from a range of fixed‑data eSIMs. Examples include the China 50 GB plan for 30 days, the China Korea Japan 60 GB plan for 90 days, and the Global 72 countries 90 GB plan for 365 days, which all offer a set amount of high‑speed data without an unlimited option. Selecting a fixed‑data plan can be a more cost‑effective choice for most users unless they anticipate extremely heavy data consumption.

Giga.Tel does not provide a China eSIM that includes a phone number or SMS capability. Only data‑only eSIM plans are offered for China, so it is not possible to make traditional phone calls or send text messages directly through the SIM. Users can still communicate by using VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage, which operate over the data connection and do not require a local phone number.

Giga.Tel supplies 30 single‑country data plans that cover China, and it also offers 48 multi‑country entry plans that include China along with other destinations. The provider’s plans range from $4.99 to $195.99 in price, with data allocations spanning 1 GB up to 90 GB. They come in two main styles: fixed‑data‑cap packages that provide a set amount of data for a set period, and daily‑data‑cap packages that cap usage on a day‑by‑day basis.
