Land at Hong Kong International Airport, switch on your phone, and you're online before the Airport Express leaves the terminal. The same goes for Shanghai Pudong or Beijing Capital. A Greater China eSIM covers China, Hong Kong, and Macau on one plan, so your data keeps working at every border crossing. Up to 10x cheaper than roaming with plans starting at $4.99.
Compare plans and find the perfect fit for your trip
You'll lean on data constantly here. WeChat runs daily life in mainland China, maps guide you through the Hong Kong MTR and Macau's old town, and translation apps decode menus and street signs. The mainland restricts some Western apps, so download offline maps before you arrive.
Buy your eSIM for Greater China before you fly and the install link lands in your email. Tap it once and your phone sets the eSIM up itself — or scan the QR code if you prefer — and skip the airport SIM counters. From Beijing to Hong Kong to a night in Macau, one plan follows you the whole way.

Practical advice for using mobile data in Greater China.
WeChat is the everyday app of mainland China, covering messaging and much more. Create and verify your account at home, since verification can require help from an existing user, so you're ready the moment you land.
Google Maps is unreliable in mainland China. Save offline maps of Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou before you arrive, or install a local app like Amap. In Hong Kong and Macau, your usual map apps work normally.
Greater China means three separate immigration zones. Take the high-speed train from Hong Kong West Kowloon to Shenzhen, or the ferry to Macau, and your eSIM reconnects automatically on the other side.
Hong Kong's MTR is the fastest way around the city. Pick up an Octopus card for taps at gates and convenience stores, and use the MTR Mobile app to find routes and exits.
Day-tripping to Macau with friends? Turn on your phone's hotspot and share your data while you wander from Senado Square to the Cotai resorts, so nobody hunts for cafe WiFi.
