What the numbers mean
What China eSIM prices reveal
Two pricing models compete in China, and they suit different trips. In China, Yesim 100MB / 1 Day is as cheap as it gets at $0.51. Entry plans in China run about 10.9 times the best per-gigabyte rate. The best rate here is Roamic’s 50GB / 30 Days plan at $0.48/GB. The tracked catalogue holds 203 plans for China from 10 providers, 98 of them unlimited.
For China, the daily unlimited floor is $1.70 with Roamic. Below about 3.5GB a day, buckets in China at $0.48/GB stay ahead of any daily plan. Anyone working remotely from Beijing should price the daily unlimited tier before committing. Buying a SIM in person in China means ID paperwork, which a travel eSIM skips entirely.
China runs on China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom, all 5G. Practical speeds span 20 to 300 Mbps across the networks. Away from Beijing, China Mobile is the network to prefer. China Unicom sits at the other end, fine in the cities of China but the first to thin out outside them. Coverage in China will not follow you into Hong Kong, so budget for a second plan or a regional eSIM.

Before you buy
Things to know before buying an eSIM for China
-
Travel eSIMs for China route through Hong Kong gateways - they need no VPN for Google and WhatsApp, unlike local SIMs.
-
China Unicom accepts foreign eSIMs most reliably; Telecom occasionally needs manual APN entry.
An eSIM for China is priced per country, not per city. One plan covers every network inside the borders, so there is no separate tariff for Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen — and no airport counter to queue at either, because the profile is installed at home before you fly.
Networks
Which networks do China eSIMs run on
Every eSIM connects to a local carrier network. Coverage, speed and rural reach follow that host network — so knowing whose mast your plan uses matters more than the brand on the voucher. The destination-by-destination breakdown of all host carriers lives on the eSIM network map, and this destination has its own China carrier breakdown.
China Mobile
5GPlans from Airalo, aloSIM, Holafly, Jetpac, Nomad, Roami, Roamic, Saily, Ubigi, Yesim connect to this network.
Typical 25–300 Mbps — enough for 4K streaming · video calls · hotspot work
The coverage giant — works in subway tunnels, small towns and on most tourist trails.
Where it wins: The widest reach of the three - subway tunnels, smaller cities and most tourist routes.
Where it lags: The busiest network, so city speeds dip at peak times.
China Telecom
5GPlans from Airalo, aloSIM, Holafly, Jetpac, Nomad, Roami, Roamic, Saily, Ubigi, Yesim connect to this network.
Typical 20–250 Mbps — enough for HD streaming · video calls · navigation
Strong in the south and all major cities; a solid second choice everywhere.
Where it wins: Strong in the south and in every major city.
Where it lags: Thinner coverage in the north and far west away from the cities.
China Unicom
5GPlans from Airalo, aloSIM, Holafly, Jetpac, Nomad, Roami, Roamic, Saily, Ubigi, Yesim connect to this network.
Typical 20–250 Mbps — enough for HD streaming · video calls · navigation
Fast in the cities and historically the traveler-friendly pick; rural reach a step behind Mobile.
Where it wins: Fast in the big cities, and a frequent host for inbound travel eSIMs.
Where it lags: Rural reach sits a step behind China Mobile.

- China Unicom eSIM-ready
- China Telecom eSIM-ready
Matched against the 203 plans in the table above. Prefer plans on the carrier with the best coverage where you're going.
Which national networks cover China's major cities
All the carriers above serve these metros with full speed; the differences between them show up outside them — rural roads, mountain areas, islands and deep-indoor spots like basements and metro platforms.
Speeds are typical real-world downloads (4G floor to good 5G); actual speeds depend on device, plan and location. For context: Netflix 4K needs about 25 Mbps, HD about 5.
Independent measurements
Independent network data for China
The network profiles above are ours. The findings below come from independent measurement firms — Opensignal crowdsources real-user readings, Ookla aggregates Speedtest samples — so you can cross-check whose masts actually perform before picking a plan that rides them.
Ookla · award report
Ookla's Speedtest Global Index put mainland China's median mobile download at 221.77 Mbps in August 2026, 21st of the markets it ranks. There is no Opensignal Mobile Network Experience report for mainland China, so no crowdsourced per-carrier ranking exists to sit beside it.

FAQ
What should I know before buying an eSIM for China
What is the cheapest eSIM for China?
On entry price, Yesim leads China with 100MB / 1 Day at $0.51. Across the 203 China plans from 10 providers on this page, the best cost per gigabyte is Roamic's China eSIM 50GB / 30 Days at $0.48/GB. Small buckets suit city breaks, while longer stays are usually cheaper per gigabyte with a bigger plan.
Is unlimited eSIM data in China actually unlimited?
No. Each of the 98 unlimited China plans caps its daily full-speed allowance. Roamic offers the best daily rate at $1.70 (30 days for $51.00), against a market range of $1.70 to $4.10. Two figures decide whether a capped plan suits you, and Roamic publishes both: 3 GB/day, then 1 Mbps.
Airalo or Holafly for China?
Different products: Airalo sells fixed data buckets, Holafly sells unlimited days. Airalo sells buckets: its sharpest China rate is $0.98/GB (Chinacom - 50 GB, $49.00). Holafly only sells unlimited by the day: 3 days for $11.90, or $3.97 a day.
Do I need ID verification for an eSIM in China?
This is the one destination where the question points the wrong way. A travel eSIM for mainland China asks no ID step of you, because registration happens outside the country, and that is also why it reaches Google and WhatsApp without a VPN when a local SIM cannot.
Which networks do China eSIMs use?
Plans on this page run on China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom. Differences matter mostly outside the big cities - the network column in the main table shows which carrier each plan rides.
Can one eSIM cover China and Japan?
Only with a regional package, because the country plans on this page do not cross borders. The markets around China all have their own tables here - Hong Kong, Macao, Japan and South Korea among them - so price a regional bundle against two single-country plans.
Can I use an eSIM in China?
An eSIM works in China, and nothing about the destination blocks it. The choice here is about price and allowance rather than availability: 203 plans from 10 providers. Settle the phone question and the comparison above does the rest.
Will my phone work with an eSIM in China?
Your handset is the deciding factor here, not China. The two checks that matter are hardware and lock status - the 203 plans here install on a phone that passes both, and fail on one that does not. Settle both checks at home on Wi-Fi rather than at the airport.
Do I need a local number in China?
A local number is not required to use an eSIM in China. Keeping the home line in the physical slot is the usual arrangement, and it is what lets verification texts keep arriving. Decide whether you truly need a local number before adding a second purchase.
What do travellers say about eSIMs in China?
Review scores are the one thing we deliberately leave out, because a single number hides the variation behind it. Fair-use terms, hotspot rules and refund windows are where the real differences hide, and those are documented rather than voted on. Compare the plans above on price, then read the provider's terms before buying.
