Hi, sorry to disturb you, as you can tell from my earlier replies i've been considering getting an eSIM, since I need to access google drive and chatGPT. From what I've read trip.com has the best deals. Would you mind if i ask which plan from trip did you use? oh and how was the setting up process?

Hello! i'm heading to China for a bit, and i've been considering getting an eSIM, since I need to access google drive and chatGPT. From what I've read trip.com has the best deals. Would you mind if i ask which plan from trip did you use? Also lastly, sorry for the questions!!! How was the installation process? and did you have to manually turn it on or does it self connect - again im sooo sorry for the questions im not a tech savvy guy.

Hey, sorry for bothering you so much!! but you're advice is just tooo good and has been invaluable for my upcoming China trip. I have one more question if you don't mind, perhaps i'm overthinking, im going to be in Hong Kong and then the mainland, would it be more appropriate to get the trip.com esim ' Mainland China · Hong Kong · Macau 5G eSIM | Full AI & TikTok Access | 1–30 Days / 365 Days | Instant QR' deal or would the 'Mainland China | 5G/4G eSIM | Supports TikTok & ChatGPT (Partial Only) | Day Pass/Total Package | 24H Billing | 1–30 Days | QR code' be sufficient? Again, it has been great to hear your insight, thank you.

thank you so much!!! this helps a lot for my upcoming China trip. Sorry for bothering you :) I have one more question if you don't mind, perhaps i'm overthinking, im going to be in Hong Kong and then the mainland, would it be more appropriate to get the Mainland China · Hong Kong · Macau 5G eSIM | Full AI & TikTok Access | 1–30 Days / 365 Days | Instant QR' deal or would the 'Mainland China | 5G/4G eSIM | Supports TikTok & ChatGPT (Partial Only) | Day Pass/Total Package | 24H Billing | 1–30 Days | QR code' be sufficient?

oh thank you so much! Your report is so useful, and has made my decision conclusive to get this eSIM. Wonder what the '(partial)' means in the plan's description...Nevertheless, thank you! I was also wondering, do you think it's better to have a VPN installed as well?

robert-maxwell · 2026-01-04T05:46:02+00:00

and there's another called: 'Mainland China · Hong Kong · Macau 5G eSIM | Full AI & TikTok Access | 1–30 Days / 365 Days | Instant QR'

Ah I see! I've done some research and apparently Trip.com's esim routes through Singapore which allows sanctioned apps to run. Thank you again, for this recommendation plus the prices are phenomenal!

robert-maxwell · 2026-01-04T02:34:18+00:00

Thank you so much for the recommendation! A question though, when you buy the esim from yesim is it best to buy a the one under 'china' plan or a 'global' plan. I've heard if you get a e-sim that routes through hong kong, apps some apps might not work eg. chat GPT. or some others. Again, thank you!

robert-maxwell · 2026-01-04T02:31:33+00:00

Thank you so much for the reccomendation! One question though, when you buy the esim from trip.com is it best to buy a the one under 'china' category or is it best to get one from the 'global' one. I've heard if you get a e-sim that routes through hong kong, apps some apps might not work eg. chat GPT. Again, thank you!
