Your favourite apps just work, no VPN required.

In mainland China, most Western apps sit behind the Great Firewall. BNESIM's China eSIM routes your mobile data outside the country, so Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, Gmail, YouTube, Maps, ChatGPT, Facebook and Twitter behave exactly the way they do at home, the second you connect. No VPN to install. No tunnels to configure. No 3 a.m. troubleshooting in your hotel room.

Important: this routing is built into the eSIM. You don't have to do anything; it's on by default on every China plan we sell.

Questions travelers ask before flying to China

Yes. Our China eSIM routes your mobile traffic outside mainland China, so apps that normally sit behind the Great Firewall (Google, Gmail, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Maps, ChatGPT and more) work the way they do at home. No separate VPN to install or troubleshoot.
If your phone is eSIM-compatible, you're set. Use our device compatibility checker to confirm your model. iPhones from XS onwards and most modern Android flagships are supported.
No. BNESIM is a travel eSIM, so you skip China's local SIM-registration process entirely. Buy online, scan a QR code, you're connected. No kiosk visit, no passport scan at a carrier shop.
By default, expiring plans start the moment you buy them. If you'd rather the clock start on a specific day (your arrival date, for example), schedule activation at checkout and the validity period begins on that date instead.
Yes. BNESIM is dual-SIM friendly: keep your home SIM live for calls and SMS, and route mobile data through your BNESIM eSIM.
Your data rides on China Mobile, the country's largest mobile operator, giving you 4G LTE coverage across all 31 provinces and 5G in major cities. Your phone latches onto the strongest available cell automatically, with no manual carrier selection.
Top up instantly inside the BNESIM app, no need to install a new eSIM. Or turn on auto-renewal so you never go offline mid-itinerary.
Yes. Both expiring and non-expiring plans support hotspot and tethering, which is perfect for sharing with a travel partner in the same hotel. The only exception is the Unlimited plan, where hotspot is disabled to keep speeds fair for everyone.
This particular plan covers mainland China. Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan have their own dedicated BNESIM plans because they sit on separate networks. For a multi-stop Asia trip, buy each region's eSIM in the BNESIM app. Same account, same wallet, no surprise roaming.
Yes. Top up your BNE wallet with any major cryptocurrency, then pay for any plan with BNE coins from the app. Every wallet payment also earns you 5% cashback.
