How to buy and set up your Asia (China, Macao, Hong Kong) eSIM

Choose your Asia (China, Macao, Hong Kong) data plan

Pick a plan above that matches your trip length and how much data you use. Make sure your phone supports eSIM and is carrier unlocked — see our eSIM support page if you are not sure.

Install the eSIM before you travel

Your QR code is emailed to you right after checkout. While on Wi-Fi, scan it on iPhone under Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM, or on Android under Settings > Network & internet > SIMs. Installing early does not start your plan.

Turn it on when you arrive

Select the eSIM line for mobile data and turn on data roaming for it (APN: CTEXCEL). Your plan starts when the eSIM first connects to a local network. Keep your home SIM on for calls and SMS if you like.

Why choose eSIM888 for your Asia (China, Macao, Hong Kong) trip?

Plans from $2.10 USD

One fixed, prepaid price for each plan. No contract, no hidden fees and no surprise roaming charges on your phone bill.

Instant QR code by email

Your eSIM arrives by email seconds after checkout, so you can buy it the night before you fly — or even at the airport.

Starts when you arrive

Install it at home and the validity only begins once the eSIM connects to a network at your destination. You have 180 days to activate it.

Keep your WhatsApp number

Use the eSIM for data while your home SIM stays installed, so WhatsApp, banking codes and calls from home keep working.

Hotspot included

Share your data with a laptop, tablet or a travel companion at no extra cost.
