However, here are some things to double-check before your trip to ensure you can <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/internet\/can-i-use-my-phone-abroad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">use your phone abroad<\/a> without any issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you opt to use a local <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/sim-card\/china-sim-card\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">China SIM card<\/a>, your phone must be unlocked. Contact your mobile carrier (Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, or others) to confirm you have an unlocked phone so you can switch between foreign SIM cards and avoid high roaming charges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most mobile phones will work fine, but check your phone&#8217;s compatibility with Chinese mobile networks and frequency bands, including:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>5G bands: n1 (2100), n41 (2500), n78 (3500), n79 (4700)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4G bands: B1 (2100), B3 (1800), B5 (850), B34 (TDD 2100), B39 (TDD 1900), B40 (TDD 2300), B41 (TDD 2500)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3G bands: B1 (2100), B8 (900), B39 (TD 1900+)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2G bands: B3 (1800), B8 (900), CDMA BC0 (800)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be aware of internet restrictions in China. Due to the Great Firewall of China, you won&#8217;t be able to access popular apps like Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and even Google Maps. One way to get around this is to install a VPN before arriving in China to <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/internet\/mobile-internet-china\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">use the internet in China<\/a> freely. Some eSIMs, like <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/shop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Holafly<\/a>, offer a built-in VPN, eliminating the trouble of managing separate VPN apps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set up mobile payment on your phone. China uses QR code-based payment apps like WeChat Pay and AliPay. This will be helpful, especially if you plan to use a local SIM card for China or a China eSIM.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-use-your-mobile-phonein-China\"><\/span>How to use your mobile phonein China<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After you&#8217;ve confirmed that your mobile phone will work in China, the next step is to choose how to stay connected and use your phone in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are four main ways to use your mobile phone: international roaming, an eSIM for China, a physical SIM card for China, or a pocket WiFi device. Each option has pros and cons, depending on costs, data limits, and convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roaming in China<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can activate international roaming services through your home carrier. The major Australian mobile network providers offer roaming services in China, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/en-au\/blog\/telstra-international-roaming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Telstra roaming<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/en-au\/blog\/optus-international-roaming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Optus roaming<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/en-au\/blog\/vodafone-international-roaming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vodafone roaming<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With this option, you can keep your current number, but roaming gives you a capped daily data allowance rather than the unlimited data of a travel eSIM. If you&#8217;re on a Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone mobile plan, here are some of the day-pass options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Telstra&#8217;s International Day Pass: AU$10 per day for 2GB of data in China (Zone 2), with unlimited standard calls and SMS.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Optus Daily Roaming: $5 per day for 5GB of data, with unlimited standard talk and text, on eligible Choice Plus and Plus plans.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vodafone $5 Roaming: $5 per day, drawing on the data already included in your plan (an extra 1GB is added for $5 if you use it all).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">China eSIM<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your phone supports eSIM technology (most do), using a China eSIM is the fastest and most convenient way to get connected. An <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/how-to\/what-is-esim\/\">eSIM<\/a> is a virtual or digital SIM card that you can activate without the need to remove or swap physical SIM cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other features of eSIMs typically include a quick setup (usually via a QR code), unlimited data plans, and no roaming fees. Holafly&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/esim-china\/\">eSIM for China<\/a> offers all this and a built-in VPN that makes navigating China&#8217;s internet censorship easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the flexibility to match your plan to your holiday, you never have to pay for more than you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some potential Holafly eSIM plans for China:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>5-day trip to China: $31 for unlimited data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10-day trip to China: $57 for unlimited data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>15-day trip to China: $79 for unlimited data<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s more, Holafly offers multi-destination plans to keep you connected across borders. Travelling to Japan as well? The <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/esim-japan-china\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">eSIM for Japan and China<\/a> lets you stay online in both countries without ever swapping SIM cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SIM card for China<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Opting for a local SIM card for China will keep you online at local rates. To find the most suitable one, you can order one online through popular third-party retailers, including Amazon, Nihao Mobile, and Simify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or, you can visit a telecom retailer anywhere in China and choose a local SIM card that fits your needs from one of the official mobile provider shops, including China Mobile, China Unicom, or China Telecom. Visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/sim-card\/china-sim-card\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">China SIM card article<\/a> to learn more about China&#8217;s best tourist SIM cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Top tip: You&#8217;ll need your passport and other forms of identification for the SIM registration process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pocket WiFi in China<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The final option for using your mobile phone is through a <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/internet\/pocket-wifi-for-china\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pocket WiFi for China<\/a>. This is a portable WiFi router you can carry with you at all times; you can rent or purchase one before you travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a good choice for using your phone in China, especially if you&#8217;re travelling in a group or carrying multiple devices. Simply turn it on and connect to the signal the portable router emits (like any other WiFi network).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another digital alternative to a pocket WiFi device is one of <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/plans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Holafly Plan&#8217;s<\/a> monthly eSIM subscriptions, available in over 170+ destinations. With this service, you won&#8217;t have to carry a physical device everywhere, adding convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can choose from three different data plans, including 10 GB, 25 GB, and the unlimited data plan for only $101.95 per month. This plan also comes with unlimited hotspot for any remaining devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips-for-using-your-mobile-phonein-China\"><\/span>Tips for using your mobile phonein China<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your phone will work best in China if you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use free WiFi in cafes, hotels, and airports whenever possible<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check local service coverage in the cities or regions you&#8217;re visiting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Download VPN apps before arriving to access restricted websites<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Install offline tools like Google Maps (offline mode) or offline translation apps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carry your passport when buying a local SIM card<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure your phone is unlocked to switch between SIM cards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Switch off data roaming if you&#8217;re not using an international plan to avoid high charges<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use messaging apps that work in China, like WeChat or local alternatives<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stay-connected-in-China-with-Holafly\"><\/span>Stay connected in China with Holafly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Navigating the internet in China doesn&#8217;t have to be stressful.
