“Pre-installed Nomad eSIM on a 10GB/30day plan. Activation at the Guangzhou airport after a 15 hr flight was bit challenging. I used the combination of Airport Wi-Fi & Firsty Tier 1 Free Basic to bootstrap start Nomad. Provisioning and activatin took less than 5 minutes max. Nomad has implied VPN features, so to really use the cellular connection service provided by partner China Telecom, under Settings I disabled wi-fi in my iPhone 16 and primary SIM. I was able to access 90% of my Apps (normally blocked: YT, FB, WhatsApp, Outlook emails, Gmails, etc.). Some locations even with signals at 4-bars, both eSIMs appeared not working, that is the network connection issues and not the eSIM's fault. Overall very satisfied with Nomad (paid) DL upto 90Mbs and Firsty (free) 230Kbs as backup.”
Nomad for China FAQ
Does Nomad offer unlimited data eSIM for China?
Nomad does not offer a truly unlimited high‑speed data plan for China. All of the plans that carry the word “Unlimited” provide a fixed daily allowance of 2GB of high‑speed data; after that daily limit is reached the speed is throttled.
Users who need more data can opt for one of Nomad’s fixed‑data plans. For example, the 45‑day plan with 50GB of data costs $35.00 USD and includes tethering and 5G coverage in China. Fixed‑data plans are generally more cost‑effective unless a traveler is an extremely heavy data consumer.
Does Nomad offer China eSIM with phone number and SMS?
Nomad does not provide China eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability. All of Nomad’s China offerings are data‑only, meaning they grant high‑speed internet access without support for traditional voice calls or text messages.
Travelers can still communicate by using VoIP services such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage, which work over the data connection provided by the eSIM.
How many data plans does Nomad offer for China?
Nomad lists 10 single‑country data plans that cover China, and 31 multi‑country plans that include China as well. Prices for these offerings range from about $4 to $170, while the data caps span from 1 GB up to 50 GB. Some plans provide a fixed data amount, giving a set data allotment for the validity period, whereas others operate on a daily data cap, limiting the amount that can be used each day.
