How to select an eSIM plan?
Here are a few things to consider when choosing an eSIM plan:
1. Destination / coverage
-
Single country plans if you're visiting one place (e.g., China Mainland)
-
Regional or multi-country plans if your trip covers several destinations (e.g., China Mainland / Hong Kong / Macau, 33-country plans)
2. Trip duration (validity)
- Pick a validity period that covers your whole trip (from 1 day up to 365 days)
3. Data usage
-
Light user: Daily plan (unlimited) — unlimited total data with a daily high-speed allowance (e.g., 2GB/3GB per day); speed is throttled once the daily allowance is used up
-
Heavy user / need consistent high speed: Total plan (fixed data) — full speed throughout, no throttling; data ends once the allowance is used up
4. Device compatibility
-
Make sure your device supports eSIM (dial *#06# to check for an EID)
