China eSIM on China Mobile: questions

Does a NUM China eSIM use China Mobile?

Yes. Every China plan in the shop on 4 Nov 2026 ran on China Mobile.

How much is a China eSIM on China Mobile?

On 4 Nov 2026, from $0.79 (500 MB, valid 7 days). The price on the pay button is the price you pay.

Can I choose China Mobile over another network?

It is the network every China plan uses, so there is nothing to choose.

Will I get a China Mobile phone number?

No. It’s a data-only eSIM that runs on the network; your home number stays on your phone for calls and codes.

Will it work on my phone?

Dial *#06# on the phone you’re taking. If you see an EID number, it takes an eSIM. Every iPhone from the XR and XS on does, and the SE from 2020, as do Google Pixel 3 and later and Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. The phone must be carrier-unlocked. Not sure? Text PHONE and your model and we’ll check.

When do I install it?

At home, on wifi, before you fly. Then switch it on when you land. Tell us your landing day and we text you the switch-on steps that morning.
