Good to know

Install before you fly

Install it at home on Wi-Fi. It stays off until you switch it on for data at your destination.

Keep your own SIM

Your usual SIM stays in for calls and texts. Set the Veela eSIM as your line for mobile data.

Help when you're there

The assistant answers in your language at any hour, and a person picks up anything it can't fix.

Tips for China

  1. Alipay and WeChat Pay need data to scan a merchant's QR code. With data on arrival you can pay for taxis, food and tickets straight away.
  2. Amap (Gaode) and Baidu Maps are more accurate than Google Maps inside China. Download one before you leave.
  3. Crossing by land from Vietnam, Laos or Hong Kong? Install the eSIM before the trip and switch on data roaming for it once you're across the border.

China eSIM questions

Do I need a VPN for Google or WhatsApp?

No. A roaming eSIM routes your data through a network outside mainland China, so apps that are blocked on local Chinese networks keep working.

Does the China plan work in Hong Kong and Macau?

This plan is for mainland China. Hong Kong has its own plan, and the Asia regional plan covers mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau together.

When does the plan start?

When the eSIM first connects to a network in China. Installing it at home doesn't start the clock.

Is my phone compatible?

Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number and your phone is unlocked, it works. See the compatibility checker for common models.

Can I top up?

Yes. From your account, add data to the same eSIM without reinstalling it.
