Network & Coverage

Stay connected across every corner of Shanghai

Your eSIM runs on China Mobile with 5G across Shanghai and on through China mainland.

This is the point that matters in China: your traffic leaves through a gateway outside the country, so the services you rely on at home keep behaving normally. A local SIM does not do that.

Does the Shanghai eSIM work outside the city?+
Yes — it is a China mainland-wide plan. This page exists because people search for the city, not the country.
Can I share it as a hotspot in Shanghai?+
Yes. Tethering is allowed, which is what makes one unlimited line practical for a couple or a family moving around together.

How it works

Connected in
3 simple steps

1
Before you fly
Scan the QR code over Wi-Fi. About a minute.
2
On landing at PVG / SHA
Turn off flight mode — the line registers by itself.
3
Turn on data roaming
The step most travellers miss. It is not roaming in the billing sense; it is how the phone lets the eSIM use a foreign network.
✈️
Ready before you land
The maglev or metro decision at Pudong, made in the arrivals hall before you commit to a platform — and your eSIM is already working when you get there.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about your Shanghai eSIM

Is the data truly unlimited?+
There is a fair use policy, as with every unlimited plan on the market. We publish the details on our fair use page rather than bury them, so you can check before you buy.
When does my Shanghai eSIM activate?+
On its first connection to a local network — in practice when you switch off flight mode at PVG / SHA. Not when you pay.
Can I buy it weeks before the trip?+
Yes. It stays dormant until it first connects, so buying it together with the flight is fine.
Should I buy a SIM card at the airport instead?+
You can, but it means queueing after a flight and paying whatever the counter asks. An eSIM bought beforehand is already working before you reach passport control.
Which devices are compatible?+
Any eSIM-capable handset — iPhone XS and newer, recent Samsung Galaxy, Pixel 3 and newer. Dial *#06# — if an EID number appears, you are good to go.
Can I extend it if I stay longer?+
We do not extend a plan that is already running. For more days, buy another eSIM for the same destination — it arrives by email and installs alongside the one you already have.
Only staying a few days?
A short trip is usually cheaper on a fixed data plan — same networks, one price for the trip.
