Physical SIM was delivered to hotel in time and worked perfectly. VPN had to be re-installed a few times, but also worked as described. E-SIM worked perfectly.

Reply very fast to my concern. Troubleshoot problems if arise. Internet is fast and reliable, price is fair. With a physical number, you can contact ,send message and even register for your attractions. Big thunbs up

Very good services ! Provided Internet and VPN are fast, reliable, and it’s easy to find the Sim Card counter at Shanghai airport. Ordered my SIM card at the last minute, less than one day before my arrival, and still everything went as planned. Very good customer services, helpful and trustworthy. Highly recommended !

Good ordering proces, clear explaination on the pickup on the Airport.
At the airport it takes a littlebit of time to register your sim, but was ready within 10 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why I need to traveling in China with a local SIM?

You’ll often need SMS verification when booking tickets to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, or other famous sights, and when connecting to public Wi-Fi. SIM with a local number can help you avoid problems such as incorrect blocking, and failure to receive SMS in time. Plus, plans from local Chinese providers are the most cost-effective, compared to eSIMs or other data-only SIMs.

How to get my SIM after placing the order?
  • For pick-up orders, after placing the order, you can download the pick-up guide and VPN information directly through the order board;

Do I need the VPN while using the physical SIM?

Yes. VPN is a tool that helps you to access blocked apps and websites, such as Google, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, When you are in China. 

Why do I neet to provide real-name information?

The Chinese government has intensified efforts to combat telecom fraud, leading to strict real-name registration requirements for SIM cards. Both locals and foreigners applying for phone cards need to pass real-name authentication.

Why are there so few physical SIM card options available online?
During COVID-19, Chinese telecom providers made it significantly more difficult for foreigners to obtain SIM cards. Short-term SIM cards for tourists have only been available in the last two years. We are the only website to offer physical China travel SIM online.
