nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for China

nextSIM’s plans that carry the word “Unlimited” are not truly unlimited. They provide a fixed amount of high‑speed data—such as 1GB or 2GB per day—and when that amount is reached the speed drops to a reduced rate, listed as 512kbps or 2000kbps. Therefore, nextSIM does not offer a high‑speed data plan with no cap for travelers in China.

If a user needs more data for a longer stay, nextSIM offers fixed‑data options. For example, the eSIM China 20GB 30Days Economy plan supplies 20GB of high‑speed data for 30 days at $30.56 USD, while the eSIM GLOBAL 30GB 30Days Premium plan delivers 30GB for 30 days for $789.71 USD. These fixed‑cap plans may be more cost‑effective than the “Unlimited” plans for heavy data users.

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 provides two types of China‑focused data plans: one single‑country plan that covers only mainland China, and one multi‑country plan that includes China as part of a broader regional package. The single‑country offering is a fixed‑data plan where customers receive a set data allotment for 30 days, typically ranging from 1 GB to 50 GB and price points between roughly USD 3.60 and USD 1, 316.00. The multi‑country plan is a daily‑data‑cap plan, granting a limited daily data allowance across several countries including China; its data cap per day falls within the same 1 GB‑to‑50 GB spectrum, while the overall price can also vary from a few dollars up to the upper‑end of the same price range.
