The SIM Shop eSIM Data Plans for China

The SIM Shop does not provide an unlimited data eSIM for China. Travelers can purchase fixed data plans instead, such as a 50GB data plan valid for 30 days at $63.97 USD or a 50GB data plan with 180‑day validity and 5G support for $106.64 USD, both of which give a large amount of high‑speed data. Other options include 20GB bundles, for example a 20GB plan for 30 days priced at $24.86 USD or a 20GB plan for 90 days covering China and nearby countries for $83.30 USD. These fixed data plans may be a more economical choice for most users, though very heavy data users might prefer an unlimited plan if it becomes available in the future.

The SIM Shop does not provide a China eSIM that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. Travelers who need voice or text services while in China will need to rely on data‑only eSIM plans and use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage. Because some destinations may restrict or block these apps, users should check that the services they rely on are accessible in China before purchasing an eSIM.

The SIM Shop offers seven single‑country data plans for China and 59 multi‑country plans that include China in their coverage. The plans range in price from $3.54 to $132.81, with data caps that can span from 1 GB up to 50 GB, and validity periods of 1 to 180 days. Fixed‑data plans provide a set amount of data for the full period, while daily‑cap plans reset each day, offering a per‑day data limit.
