Frequently Asked Questions about China, Hong Kong & Macau eSIM
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM, or embedded Subscriber Identity Module, is a virtual SIM card integrated into devices like smartphones and smartwatches. Unlike physical SIM cards, eSIMs are programmed remotely, enabling easy network switching and activation without needing physical swaps. They offer flexibility for changing carriers and plans, convenient international travel connectivity, and the management of multiple numbers on one device. While not universally supported, eSIM technology reduces the reliance on physical cards and simplifies the user experience by allowing remote provisioning of cellular services.

Hi Daniel, thanks for your 4-star rating! We hope your China, Hong Kong & Macau eSIM worked well for you.
Initially had a lot of technical issues and didn’t work in China, once it was changed, things were looking great and I have no complaint about the network in China. But when I got to HK, the card didn’t work again. But I was there for only a day & I was able to use my primary card.
Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience. We’re glad the replacement worked well in China, but sorry you ran into another issue in Hong Kong. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to help improve our service.
Good value, easy to install, saves you the hassle of validating your passport in shops.
Hi Nuno, we're glad you found the eSIM to be good value and easy to install! Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thanks, Geert! Glad you loved the China, Hong Kong & Macau eSIM. Enjoy seamless travel and stay connected wherever you go!
I bought 4 sim’s unlimited for my family and we went to China.
Here we found out that:
- unlimited is limited everyday up to 1 GB, please take note of that as with the joungsters nowadays that’s not enough.
- using the iPhone watch via bleuthouth hotspot is not a good idea, as it’s seen as breaking the rules.
So all in all…
- if it’s just for you be careful of how you use your other equipment as they see it as cheating and your blocked.
- if it’s for your children… please don’t use this service, as it’s not up to time of your children as they use everything via their phones.
So we will not use this service again as it was mostly for them to say online etc.
But for support etc 5 Allstars.
Thank you very much in all your help as i didn’t realise that the other equipment was also going via hotspots.
Thank you, Jeroen! We appreciate your honest and detailed feedback. We're sorry the daily data limit and hotspot restrictions didn’t meet your family’s needs, especially for your children. Your points are well taken, and we’ll continue working to improve clarity and flexibility. We're truly grateful for your kind words about our support team!
All worked well. Support helped to solve fast few issues.
Thank you, Georgios! We’re glad everything worked well and our support team could assist you quickly. Safe travels ahead!

The quality of the connection is great around China, tested in Gansu and around Beijing city. It somehow circumvents the great firewall and allows to surf freely. Great. Only caveat: It did not give me a local phone number. Otherwise, it works perfectly.
Hi Stefan, thanks for your detailed review! We’re glad the eSIM worked well in China and provided a strong connection. We appreciate your feedback about the local phone number and will look into it. Safe travels!
