Sim Local eSIM Data Plans for China

Sim Local does not provide a true unlimited high‑speed eSIM plan for China. Plans that carry the word “Unlimited” in their name, such as China Unlimited Data for 7 days and China Unlimited Pro Data for 15 days, actually offer a daily data cap of 5GB or 10GB respectively; after the daily limit is reached the speed is reduced. Therefore these plans are not unlimited.

The available alternatives are fixed‑data plans with specific caps and validity periods. For example, a 20 GB plan that lasts 30 days costs $36.50 USD, while larger bundles such as 50 GB for 31 days ($69.00 USD) and 100 GB for 31 days ($92.00 USD) are also available. Choosing a fixed‑data plan can be more cost‑effective unless a traveler needs very high data volume.

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.
