Frequently asked questions
Do I need a VPN for WhatsApp or Google in China with this eSIM?
No. Traffic exits through the international carrier's network, so WhatsApp, Google Maps, Instagram and Gmail work directly.
Can I pay with Alipay or WeChat Pay using the eSIM?
The eSIM gives you data; to pay you'll need an international card linked in Alipay or WeChat Pay (both allow tourists since 2023).
When should I activate my eSIM for China?
Install it before departure via the QR we email you. It only starts counting when it connects to a network in China, so you land with data ready.
Is my phone compatible with eSIM?
Most phones from 2019 onwards support eSIM: iPhone XS or later, Samsung Galaxy S20+, Google Pixel 3+ and most recent models. Check in Settings > Mobile Data > Add eSIM.
Can I share data (hotspot) in China?
Yes, our eSIMs allow tethering so you can share your connection with a laptop or travel companions.
What if I run out of data in China?
You can buy another eSIM instantly from livewifi.es/travel. You'll receive the new QR by email in under a minute.
Do I keep my WhatsApp number?
Yes. The eSIM only provides data; your number and WhatsApp keep working exactly as before.
