Local SIM rules in China
- Local prepaid SIMs typically require ID or passport registration at purchase
- Store purchases tie the SIM to your payment card and retail records
- Tourist SIM counters often photograph and retain your documents
How NordSecure protects you

- Pay by card (handled by Stripe) or crypto — we store nothing about you
- eSIM details appear instantly on screen; save them, nothing is emailed

Networks & coverage
Your eSIM connects to established local carriers and your phone automatically selects the strongest signal — local-grade China coverage without a local SIM.

China eSIM — common questions
- Do I need ID or an account to buy a China eSIM?
- No. There's no sign-up, no email and no ID check — pay by card or crypto and the eSIM QR appears on screen immediately. We store nothing about who you are.
- Which countries does the China plan cover?
- One plan covers 3 countries, including China mainland, Hong Kong, Macao — no switching when you cross borders.
- Which networks does the eSIM use in China?
- It roams on established local carriers — China Mobile, CMHK, CTM, 3 — and your phone automatically picks the strongest signal.
- When does the plan start?
- Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a network — not at purchase — so you can buy before your trip.
- Can I add more data later?
- Yes — top up the same eSIM on this site with just its ICCID. No new QR, no account.
- Will my phone work?
- Any carrier-unlocked, eSIM-capable phone (most from 2019 onward — iPhone XS+, Pixel 3+, Galaxy S20+). Dial *#06#: if an EID appears, you're set.
