Nomad eSIM Data Plans for China

Nomad does not offer a truly unlimited data eSIM plan for China. Every plan listed with “Unlimited” in its name actually provides 2GB per day; after that daily amount is used, the speed is reduced to 1000kbps. Travelers who need more data can choose from fixed‑data options such as the 50GB plan valid for 45 days, available for China alone or as part of a regional APAC bundle. Fixed‑data plans generally offer better value for users who consume data heavily.

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.

Nomad offers 10 single‑country plans and 31 multi‑country plans for data use in China. The single‑country options range roughly from 1 GB to 10 GB of data and are priced between about $4 and $40, while the multi‑country plans provide between 1 GB and 20 GB and span a price range of roughly $10 to $170. These selections give travelers flexibility depending on how long they plan to stay and how much data they expect to need.
