Giga.Tel eSIM Data Plans for China

Giga.Tel does not offer a truly unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for China. The plans labeled “Unlimited” provide 1 GB of high‑speed data per day and include a reduced speed of 512 kbps after the daily limit is reached. If a traveler needs more data, Giga.Tel offers fixed‑amount plans such as the 60GB package valid for 90 days or the 50GB package valid for 30 days, both of which provide higher overall data limits without throttling. These fixed‑data options are typically more cost‑effective for users who require substantial data usage in China.

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 lists 30 single‑country data plans and 44 multi‑country data plans covering China. The single‑country catalog includes a mix of fixed‑data plans—where a set amount of data is delivered for the validity period—and daily‑cap plans, which allow a specific amount of data each day and reset daily. The fixed plans range from 1 GB to 90 GB and the daily plans similarly scale within that band. Prices for the China‑specific plans span from about $4.49 up to $195.99, giving travelers options that fit short stays to extended stays of up to 365 days.
