Travelling to China

When traveling to China — whether for business or leisure — staying connected is crucial. However, international roaming charges can be shockingly expensive, and buying a new physical SIM card each trip is inconvenient and wasteful.

Imagine landing in China and instantly being able to make local and international calls, send messages, and access apps without hunting down a SIM card vendor or struggling with language barriers.

Zapme’s eSIM for China gives you:

A local presence without needing a Chinese residency.

Ability to make and receive calls instantly upon arrival.

Reliable communication for hotels, meetings, transport services, and family back home.

Persistent access to critical apps that require reliable data (bank apps, WeChat, Alipay, etc.).

Rather than switching sim cards every time you travel, Zapme’s China eSIM provides continuity — your contacts, banks, and colleagues will always reach no matter where you are.

Staying Connected Has Never Been Easier

Zapme is leading you forward with eSIM technology that will turn your world upside down – for the better! Discover how you can communicate across bounds and the opportunities that come with it.

  • 1 GB: $11.95
  • 3 GB: $35.95
  • 8 GB: $77.95

Will a Zapme eSIM work on my phone in China?

Yes, if your phone supports eSIM and is unlocked. Most recent iPhones, Google Pixels and Samsung Galaxy phones do. Check which devices support eSIM and whether your phone is carrier locked before you buy.

When does my China eSIM plan start?

You choose. Activate your China data straight away, or any time within 1 month of buying it. We recommend activating before you fly so it is working the moment you land. Zapme installs the eSIM in the app for you: no emails or QR codes.

Can I share my China eSIM data with a hotspot?

Yes. Hotspot sharing is available, so you can share your Zapme data with a laptop, tablet or a travel companion.

Visiting more countries than China?

China is also included in the Zapme Global 100+ plan, so one data pack covers every country on your trip. See the Global 100+ countries.

How do I purchase data plans from Zapme?

To purchase data from Zapme, please follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Zapme account
  2. Tap ‘eSIM’ in the menu at the bottom of the Zapme app
  3. You should see ‘Grab a Data Plan’ at the top
  4. Choose ‘Global 100’, ‘Region or Popular Country’
  5. Select desired plan and whether it’s subscription or 1 month only and hit ‘Confirm’
  6. Review your order and click on the ‘Confirm’ button again
  7. If you have a promo or rewards code, add it up and press ‘Process Payment’
  8. Enter your payment information and click on the ‘Pay’ button

You then have 1 month to determine when to activate your data.

Bought Zapme data and not flying for 2 weeks? Simple. You can activate it 2 weeks before you leave or when you touch down – we recommend doing it before you take off to make sure it’s active when you land.

Can I purchase multiple phone numbers?

Yes, Zapme allows you to buy multiple numbers for multiple countries all linked to your Zapme account and any existing mobile telephone you have. You can also switch between those numbers any time while keeping them all active and being able to make and receive calls, as normal. It’s magic!

Do I need to activate international roaming?

No, having Zapme data does NOT require you to activate international roaming when you travel abroad. You simply choose when you want your Zapme data plan to be activated and it’s ready to use as soon as you arrive in the country your plan covers. If you do have your current mobile carrier’s data roaming or international roaming activated you could incur daily roaming charges from them directly. If you’re not sure, check with your carrier about managing your global or international roaming settings before you leave.

How can I connect my existing number to Zapme?

After you have created your account with Zapme, you will be asked to either buy a new Zapme number or ‘connect your existing number’. Once you press ‘connect your existing number’ you can enter your number in the field where we will send that number an OTP for you to use, our system will confirm and then you’re ready to call. Your number is connected. It’s that easy!
