Sim Local eSIM Data Plans for China

Sim Local does not provide truly unlimited high‑speed data plans for China. The plans that carry “Unlimited” in their name, such as China Unlimited Data for 7 Days or China Unlimited Pro Data for 15 Days, actually offer a daily cap of 5 GB or 10 GB; once the daily limit is reached the speed may be reduced.

Instead, Sim Local offers fixed‑data plans that can be more cost effective. Examples include 100 GB for 31 days, 50 GB for 31 days, 20 GB for 31 days, and 20 GB for 30 days. These plans give users a large, pre‑paid data allowance with no daily cap.

Sim Local does not offer any China eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability. The provider only sells data‑only plans for the destination of China. Travelers who need voice or text services can use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection, but they should check that these apps are accessible in China before purchasing a plan.

Sim Local offers nine single‑country data plans for China and an additional nine multi‑country plans that include China in their coverage. The price of these plans ranges from about $4.00 to $93.50, while the data caps vary between 1 GB and 100 GB per plan. Plans are available in two main types: fixed data‑cap plans that deliver a set amount of data for the entire validity period, and daily‑data‑cap plans that limit the amount of data you can use each day, giving travelers more predictable spending during their stay.
