nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for China

nextSIM does not provide a genuinely unlimited data eSIM for China. The plans that carry “Unlimited” in their names actually offer a fixed amount of high‑speed data—either 1GB or 2GB per day—after which the speed drops to a reduced rate (512kbps for standard plans and 2000kbps for plus plans). If a user needs more data, nextSIM offers fixed‑data alternatives such as the 20GB 30Days Economy plan at $30.27 USD and the 50GB 30Days Premium plan at $1, 292.14 USD, which may be more cost‑effective for heavy data consumers.

nextSIM does not provide a China eSIM that includes a phone number or SMS capability. The provider offers only data‑only plans for China, so there is no option to receive voice calls or text messages through the local network.

Travelers who need to stay in touch can use popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage over the data connection. These apps allow voice calls and messaging without requiring a traditional phone number or SMS service.

nextSIM offers 58 single‑country plans that cover China alone and 35 multi‑country plans that include China alongside other destinations. The packages range in price from $3.54 to $1, 264.89, with data caps between 1 GB and 50 GB and validity periods spanning 1 to 365 days. Plans are divided into fixed data‑cap options—75 in total, where the allotted data remains constant for the entire validity—and daily data‑cap options—18 in total, where the data allowance is reset each day.
