China–Hong Kong–Macau eSIM: Frequently Asked Questions
How is the regional plan different from the China Mobile plan?
The regional plan runs on China Unicom and covers mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau, letting you cross between them within the plan period. The China Mobile plan covers the mainland only. Choose the regional plan if your trip touches two or more of them.
Do I need to do anything at the border?
No. The same profile stays active as you cross, with no swapping, re-scanning or reconfiguration.
Do LINE, Facebook and Instagram work?
Yes. The unrestricted routing is built in, so these services connect without a VPN.
How much data do I need for a week in China, Hong Kong and Macau?
We would not recommend the smallest plan — leaving headroom is the safer choice. Maps, navigation, translation, social media and messaging add up to more than most people expect, and running out of data abroad is the worst moment to find that out. For most travellers around 3GB a day is a more comfortable starting point. Where this destination offers a total-data plan (10GB or 20GB, for example), that is usually our first recommendation: a heavy day will not leave you stuck, and the allowance spreads across the whole trip. If you stream video, upload a lot of photos, or need to share the connection with another device, an unlimited plan is the simplest answer.
How are the days counted on this China–Hong Kong–Macau eSIM?
Counting starts when you scan the QR code and activate. The first day runs until 23:59 (UTC+8 Time Zone) that same day, and the second day begins after 00:00. Activate after you arrive in China, Hong Kong and Macau rather than before you leave, so you do not waste a day.
When should I install the eSIM?
Install on your departure day while your phone still has internet — airport Wi-Fi works, or your home network before you fly. An eSIM cannot be activated without a connection.
How long is the QR code valid?
The eSIM must be activated within 30 days of delivery or it expires, and that is the buyer’s responsibility. Ordering about a week before departure is ideal rather than months ahead.
Which devices are not supported?
iPads, tablets, customised devices, contract phones, carrier-locked phones, and jailbroken or rooted devices are not supported. Before ordering, dial *#06# — if an EID appears your handset supports eSIM. Also confirm the phone is not locked to a carrier.
How soon will I receive it after paying?
The QR code is sent automatically to your contact email within about 10 minutes of payment. If it does not arrive, check your spam folder or contact our LINE official account @peanutmo / WhatsApp +886-921-963-203 (10:00-17:00, UTC+8 Time Zone).
