China eSIM FAQs
At ZenSim, we offer eSIMs that support over 200+ countries, including China. Stay connected effortlessly with our reliable and easy-to-use eSIMs.

Absolutely! Using a travel eSIM is a whole lot better than roaming in China and here's why:
- Cost Savings: Avoid high roaming charges by using local data plans tailored to your destination.
- Flexibility: Easily switch between different data packages without the need to physically swap SIM cards.
- Control: Gain better oversight of your data usage and expenses, ensuring no unexpected fees or overages.
This depends. If you're using a regional eSIM ie. Europe or Asia, then you can use it in the countries specified on our plan page. But, if you have bought an eSIM for a specific country only, then you can only use it in that country.
The good news is, if you need to purchase an eSIM for a different country, you can do that on our website (yep the one you're on right now) in just a minute or two.
Our China travel eSIMs are data-only meaning you can only use them for internet and not calling or SMS messages, unless you use an internet based messaging service such as WhatsApp.
Connectivity: If you're having connectivity issues with your China travel eSIM check out our eSIM troubleshooting guide for a troubleshooting process or of course contact us and we will get you sorted ASAP.
Installation: If you need a hand installing the eSIM we have a helpful how to install an eSIM article which should help you, or again contact us directly and we'll do our thing.
