How much does a China eSIM cost?
A China travel eSIM from simless.pk starts at Rs 399 for 102 MB valid 7 days. 39 plans are available for China, priced from Rs 399 to Rs 30,799, with validity from 1 day to 180 days. Data allowances run from 102 MB up to 100 GB. 7 unlimited-data options are also offered, subject to a fair-use policy. The live catalogue lists 5G / 4G / 3G as available network technologies; actual service varies by plan, location and device. Every currently listed China plan is data-only: it carries mobile internet but does not include a local China phone number, so calls and messages use internet apps such as WhatsApp. After WhatsApp support confirms the order, the QR code and activation instructions are sent by email and WhatsApp for installation on a compatible eSIM device. Prices shown are in Pakistani rupees; WhatsApp support confirms the final price and plan terms before payment. After the order is fulfilled, the eSIM can be installed over Wi-Fi before departure.

China eSIM Guide
China plans on Simless.pk list partner networks such as China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom. Coverage on these networks is extensive in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other major cities. The catalogue lists 3G, 4G and 5G for China; 5G is widespread in the tier‑1 cities, with 4G/LTE the baseline elsewhere.
China's internet is filtered at the national‑network level — the 'Great Firewall' blocks Google, Gmail, Google Maps, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and X for connections inside the mainland. This is not something any SIM or eSIM provider controls. Install and test a reputable VPN while you are still on a Pakistani network, because Imperial College London’s IT guidance notes that VPNs are often blocked by networks. Amap and Baidu Maps work without a VPN. Our China travel guide from Pakistan and China eSIM guide cover this in detail, and our guide to internet in China explains which apps are blocked and how to cope with translation and maps.
The China eSIM is data‑only — mobile internet, no Chinese number, so calls and messages use apps like WhatsApp (over your VPN). It rides an international roaming partner, so there is no PTA or Chinese device registration involved. Keep your Pakistani SIM in the phone for banking OTPs and for one‑time codes if you set up WeChat or Alipay. Install over Wi‑Fi before departure and enable data roaming on the eSIM after you clear immigration. Ordinary Pakistani passport holders need an L visa arranged in Pakistan before travel.

China eSIM FAQs
Answers to the questions we get asked most often.
Pricing and coverage details last updated
Not on their own. China blocks those services at the network level for every connection inside the mainland. Your eSIM gives you fast data; a VPN that you installed and tested before you flew is what makes the blocked apps usable. Do not rely on any eSIM to bypass the firewall on its own.
Yes — two things. Install and test a VPN while still on a Pakistani network, since VPN sites and app stores are often blocked inside China. And set up a China‑friendly map (Amap or Baidu Maps) and a payment app (WeChat Pay or Alipay) if you will need them, as Google Maps and most Western services will not load.
China plans list China Mobile, China Unicom or China Telecom as partner networks; the plan sets which one. The eSIM connects through an international roaming partner, so there is no PTA device registration and no Chinese SIM registration step for you.
Mobile payments are widely used in China, and foreign cards can be linked to both apps. The eSIM gives you the data to use them, and you should set them up before you fly. Carry some cash as a backup.
Western map apps can be slow or incomplete there, and local map apps in Chinese are more reliable. Download offline maps for the cities you will visit, and save your hotel address in Chinese characters.
Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are very well covered, and high-speed rail corridors are too. Remote regions such as Tibet and Xinjiang vary, and some areas have extra entry rules to check first.
