Yes, the eSIM for China does include a built-in VPN feature. Here's how it works:

When you activate the eSIM, it connects to a local Mobile Network Operator (MNO) such as China Unicom to ensure network connectivity within China. However, to bypass the Great Firewall of China and access websites and services like Facebook, Instagram, Gmail, Google services, WhatsApp, and more, the internet traffic is routed through a server located in a nearby country.

This routing allows users to enjoy internet access akin to their home country, without being restricted by China's internet censorship policies. In essence, the built-in VPN feature enables seamless and unrestricted access to a wide range of online services while in China.

1. What is Unsued Data Credit?

Unused data credit is accumulated when users do not fully utilize their data allocation within a specified time period.

2. What is the CREDIT VALIDITY period?

The CREDIT VALIDITY period refers to the duration during which data credit remains valid for use. This period begins when the user starts using the internet and ends when the specified number of days is reached.

3. What happens to unused credit when the CREDIT VALIDITY period ends?

Any unused credit remaining at the end of the CREDIT VALIDITY period is typically lost.

4. Example of Data Credit usage?

Let's consider an eSIM plan for Europe with 10GB of data valid for 30 days. If a user activates the eSIM on April 1st and starts using the internet, the CREDIT VALIDITY period begins. They have until April 30th to utilize the 10GB data allocation. If they only use 9GB by April 30th, the remaining 1GB will be lost.

5. What about the expired date of the eSIM?

The expired date of the eSIM refers to the maximum date by which the eSIM must be installed or activated. It does not necessarily coincide with the end of the CREDIT VALIDITY period. Users should ensure they activate the eSIM and start using the internet before the expiration date to benefit from the allocated data.

At UPeSIM, we offer smart "unlimited" plans designed to give you excellent connectivity while complying with fair usage policies enforced by network operators.

? How much data do I have each day?

Each day, you get 3 GB at full speed (4G/5G depending on coverage).

That's more than enough for:

• Browsing the internet
• Using your social media
• Watching a few streaming videos
• Working or joining video calls

❓ What happens after the 3 GB?

Once your daily 3 GB is used, your speed is reduced to 1 Mb/s until midnight (France time).

This allows you to continue using the internet (messaging, light browsing, etc.) while preventing abuse and ensuring optimal service for everyone.

This limitation is a standard measure enforced by operators to maintain good network quality.

⏰ When does full speed return?

The counter resets every night at midnight (France time).

You then start a new day with 3 GB at full speed again, automatically.

? How long is my plan valid?

Your UPeSIM plan is valid for the duration you selected at the time of purchase:

• 7 days
• 10 days
• 30 days

Once this period ends, your plan automatically expires (no auto-renewal).

We provide a full secure payment process (through Paypal, ComNpay and Apple Pay).

You can pay by card through ComNPay, Paypal and ApplePay.

The eSIM data plan begins the moment you download it on your phone. Remember that once you activate the eSIM, the number of days remaining on the plan will start to decrease. That's why we recommend doing it just before you leave. Never download your eSIM connected to the WIFI of an airplane or with connection sharing.

No, you cannot install the same eSIM on multiple devices. Your eSIM can only be installed on one device, and only once. This means that once you remove the eSIM from your device, it will not be possible to install it again.

If you use up all your data before the end of the days of validity includeed in your plan, your eSIM won't work anymore. The same happens after the limit of days passes. If you need more data, the best option is to buy another eSIM or recharge yours.

UPeSIM eSIMs are only valid for a certain number of days. If you still have data after the limit passes, it will be lost.

If the Internet isn't working and you have a 5G phone, you must deactivate 5G in your eSIM options and select 4G and or LTE.

If you can't find the QR code to download your eSIM, or if you have deleted it by mistake, talk to us directly on our live chat or support email. We'll be able to help you!

Is the roaming switch ON?

To ensure you are connected you must switch your roaming switch ON when travelling.

You can find the Roaming Switch in your iPhone Settings.

For certain smartphone you might need to check your APN settings. These details how to set your APN is included in the eSIM installation instructions you receive after purchasing your eSIM.

Do You Have Coverage?

If you find yourself in an area with limited mobile coverage, or no coverage at all, you will find it difficult to access the internet.

Try switching locations and make sure you have enough signal bars to connect to 3G or 4G/LTE.

If you are in good coverage and tried everything else, you can always try a full power-down restart and see if that helps.

Have you selected the right network?

For best use, it is advisable to deactivate the automatic network search and to be notified of the network indicated on your QRCode.

You can always talk to us directly on our live chat or support email!

Expired eSIM refers to eSIM profiles that have been deleted or removed from a device due to inactivity or expiration. Specifically, an eSIM profile becomes expired if it has not been used or topped up/recharged within a certain timeframe, typically 60 days.

In the App interface, these expired eSIM profiles are typically displayed in grey, distinguishing them from active ones. This visual cue helps users identify which eSIM profiles are no longer active due to deletion.
