The SIM Shop for East Asia FAQ
Does The SIM Shop offer unlimited data eSIM for East Asia?
The SIM Shop does not provide any unlimited‑data eSIM for East Asia. All of the plans listed are fixed data bundles, each with a hard data cap and a set validity period. For example, The SIM Shop offers a 20GB data bundle that is usable for 90 days at a price of $81.34 USD, and a 20GB bundle that is usable for 30 days at a price of $83.31 USD. These plans cover countries such as China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Macau, and Taiwan, among others.
Choosing a fixed data plan can be more economical for most travelers unless they are extremely heavy data users who would benefit from an unlimited offer. The fixed‑data options give a clear understanding of the data amount and validity, making budgeting easier for trips in East Asia.
Does The SIM Shop offer East Asia eSIM with phone number and SMS?
The SIM Shop does not offer East Asia eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability. All available plans are data‑only, so travelers will not receive an inbound or outbound calling number.
Travelers who need to make voice calls or send text messages can normally use VoIP apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection. However, some destinations may block or restrict particular apps or VoIP services, so it is advisable to confirm that the applications you rely on are accessible in East Asia before purchasing a plan.
