Which destinations does the China, Hong Kong & Macau eSIM cover?
3 destinations: China, Hong Kong and Macau. See the full list.
Does it switch networks when I cross a border?
Yes. Your phone joins a local network in each country by itself, usually within a few minutes of crossing. One plan covers all 3 destinations, so your data and days carry on. If it doesn't connect, turn Airplane mode on and off.
Do Google and WhatsApp work?
In Hong Kong and Macau, yes. In mainland China, no: Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube are blocked. Set up WeChat before you fly.
Does it work on a day trip to Shenzhen or Guangzhou?
Yes. Both are in mainland China, so they're covered, as are the fast trains from Hong Kong.
Will I have signal on the Macau ferry or bridge bus?
Yes. Signal holds on the ferries and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge bus.
How do I pay in mainland China?
Mostly by phone. Alipay and WeChat Pay both take foreign cards: set one up and link your card before you fly.
When does my China, Hong Kong & Macau plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in China, Hong Kong or Macau. Install it on Wi-Fi a day or two before you fly: the days don't start counting until you land.
Can I use the China, Hong Kong & Macau eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Every China, Hong Kong & Macau plan can share its data with a laptop, a tablet or a travel partner's phone. Anything you share comes off the same plan.
Does the China, Hong Kong & Macau eSIM include calls and texts?
No, it's data only, with no local number. Call and text over WhatsApp, iMessage or FaceTime. In mainland China WhatsApp is blocked, so use WeChat. Your home number stays on your phone, so texts like bank codes still arrive.
Can I take a power bank on flights in China?
Yes, if it has the CCC (3C) mark. Since 28 June 2025 China's domestic flights only allow power banks that carry it, and security checks the label. Pack it in your carry-on, never in checked bags. Our MOVE SPEED power banks are all CCC certified and under 100 Wh.
