Thirding this, worked great for me, and loved that I didn’t have to commit for a whole year.
Trip.com is a Chinese company, but the other options are also fine, I saw many Chinese Americans use Nomad, these companies sell the eSIM card specifically for China, or other Asian countries, so as long as you bought the eSIM card of certain countries and also traveled to these countries, it is not roaming.
Yup you can select the location. Or you can select speed and it chooses the location for you.
I guess it’s not chinese esim because it works like normal internet. Plus, the instructions clearly says that you should purchase before arriving in mainland. Buy esim while you’re in your home country and just install or activate the esim when you land.
Yes. A Chinese esim will route all traffic to a gateway in China in the same way as a German SIM will route all traffic to the German carrier’s internet gateway.
This means that if using a Chinese esim you’d be subject to blocked sites even if you are not in China.
The Chinese carriers don’t offer esims to foreigners so whenever someone mentions esim you can think of it as any non-chinese carrier’s esim.
Ahhh, got it. Thanks so much for the clarification!
