If you're planning a trip to China, staying connected is crucial. This China Data-only SIM card promises 15 days of 5G/4G high-speed internet in Mainland China and Macau, plus uncensored access to Google, Facebook, and more. But does it deliver? Here's my take after using it on my recent trip.
The Good: The setup was a breeze—just plug and play. No activation or registration needed. I landed in Beijing, popped the SIM into my unlocked iPhone, and had instant internet access. The speed was impressive for browsing and using apps like WhatsApp and Instagram. The free test data (100MB) in the US was a nice touch to ensure everything worked before my flight.
The Bad: The included SIM ejector tool was useless—I ended up using a paperclip like many other reviewers. Also, while my 15-day SIM worked flawlessly, some users reported issues with the 30-day version disconnecting prematurely. And yes, customer service is available 24/7, but how do you contact them if your SIM fails?
Pro Tip: Double-check your phone is unlocked *before* your trip. Roaming must be enabled in settings, and you’ll need Wi-Fi for initial setup. If you’re tech-savvy, consider an eSIM as a backup—this SIM is data-only, so no calls or SMS verification.
Verdict: When it works (which it did for me), it’s a budget-friendly lifesaver—way cheaper than airport kiosks. But inconsistencies mean buying a backup (like the 15-day version) is wise. 3.5/5 stars.
