Holafly: The "Unlimited Data" eSIM for China
Holafly is a popular eSIM (embedded SIM) store that offers a compelling advantage for data-hungry travelers: unlimited data plans.
While many eSIM providers offer fixed data packages (e.g., 5GB, 10GB), Holafly's model is built on simplicity. You purchase a plan for a set number of days (e.g., 5, 10, 15 days) and receive unlimited internet access during that period. This is ideal for travelers who want to stream, use video calls, and navigate heavily without constantly checking their data balance.
Key Features for Travelers:
- True Unlimited Data: This is the main selling point. Forget about topping up or running out of data at an inconvenient time.
- Unrestricted Internet (Built-in VPN): Holafly's China plans are designed for tourists and automatically include a service that bypasses the Great Firewall. You will have immediate, unrestricted access to all your familiar apps like Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and more, with no need to configure a separate VPN.
- Easy Activation: After purchase, you receive a QR code. Simply scan it with your eSIM-compatible phone to install the profile, and it will automatically activate when you arrive in China.
- Keep Your Home Number: You can keep your primary SIM active for receiving calls and texts while using the Holafly eSIM for all your mobile data needs.
Note: Most Holafly plans for China are data-only. This means they do not provide you with a local Chinese phone number for making or receiving traditional cellular calls (though you can easily use data-based apps like WhatsApp Call or FaceTime Audio).
