Frequently asked questions about your China eSIM
After purchase, you'll get a QR code by email and in the app. Scan it to install the eSIM, then turn it on when you land in China — no store visit or physical SIM swap needed.
Your plan activates the moment your eSIM connects to a supported network in China, not the moment you buy it — so you can install it in advance and it won't start counting down until you actually arrive.
No. Kwetu eSIMs don't require local SIM registration or ID checks — just install the eSIM and connect.
Yes. Once your eSIM is active, you can buy a top-up directly from the My eSIMs page in the app or on the web, without buying a whole new eSIM.
The largest plan is 20 GB for $15.60, valid for 30 days — good if you're a heavy data user or staying in China for a while.
This specific plan covers China only, but if you're visiting other countries too, check the regional bundles on this page that include China.
