How to get a mobile phone SIM card in China

When you arrive in China, one of your primary tasks is to purchase a SIM card.

There are three options: China Unicom, China Telecom, and China Mobile. You can get a SIM card at the official outlets of these companies.

Start by locating the nearest store and visiting it in person. The only document you need to provide is your passport.

There are diverse packages available, catering to different data consumption needs, ranging from a few GB to unlimited Internet traffic. Once you have selected the appropriate mobile tariff, you will need to make the payment, have your photo taken, and complete a form.

That's all! Just a few simple steps, and you will have your own Chinese mobile phone number!
