About Mainland China
The hard part about data in mainland China is getting online and staying unrestricted. Our China line uses China Unicom's local network for the radio, while the exit IP sits offshore (Singapore). So it works out of the box with no extra setup, and common overseas apps (like ChatGPT) are reachable. Choose the China Mainland (SG IP) plan, the Mainland China–Hong Kong–Macau plan, the APAC plan, or the Global Transit plan. We publish the exit IP, carriers, and app availability on every plan page — what many eSIM providers won't tell you. Refundable before activation, per policy.
