Greater China
Greater China Volo eSIM — online the moment you land 🀄
Install before you fly, scan one QR code, and land already connected on fast 5G / 4G data. No airport SIM queue, no roaming bill.
📍 Where it works
✅ Covers: mainland China, Hong Kong & Macau.
🚫 Not included: Taiwan (choose the Taiwan or Global plan for that).
🔓 No VPN needed in mainland China — Google, Gmail, WhatsApp and Instagram work normally. Your data routes through an international roaming IP, so you skip the Great Firewall.
📊 Choose your plan
Pick the data bundle and validity that match your trip — from a light 1 GB top-up to heavy 50 GB+ plans. Every plan is data-only, priced upfront, with nothing to pay on arrival.
♾️ Daily plans (Data per day)
Prefer not to count gigabytes? Switch Package type to Data per day and pick a daily allowance of 1GB, 3GB or 10GB. You get that much full-speed data each day; past it, speed reduces to roughly 128–512Kbps until the next-day reset. Any trip length from 3 to 30 days.

❓ Frequently asked questions
Will my phone work with this eSIM?
Most phones released from 2018 onward support eSIM and are carrier-unlocked. On iPhone, open Settings › General › About and look for an EID number; if it’s there, you’re ready.
When does my plan start?
The validity period counts down once the eSIM first connects to a network in any covered area — mainland China, Hong Kong or Macau. Installing days ahead doesn’t start the clock; if you want your days to begin at a particular stop, switch the Volo line on only once you get there.
Can I keep my home number?
Yes. This is a data-only eSIM that runs as a second line beside your home SIM, so calls and texts on your usual number still come through.
Can I share data over hotspot?
Yes — tether your laptop, tablet or a travel companion’s phone.
Running low on data?
Just buy another Volo plan and install it. Quick, and you stay connected.
Do I need a VPN?
No. Your data routes through an international roaming IP, so Google, WhatsApp and Instagram work without one.
What does “Data per day” mean?
Each day you get a fixed full-speed allowance. After that, speed reduces to roughly 128–512Kbps for the rest of the day, refreshing every 24 hours. The day count starts when the eSIM first connects.

How do the daily plans work?
Each day you get full-speed data up to the plan's daily allowance. After that, speed reduces to roughly 128 to 512Kbps for the rest of the day, and your full-speed allowance resets every 24 hours.
