Frequently asked questions

What is an eSIM and how does it work in China?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM that allows you to activate a cellular plan without needing a physical SIM card. In China, eSIMs can be used with compatible devices to access local networks, providing you with data and calling services.
How do I activate my eSIM in China?
To activate your eSIM, you will need to scan a QR code provided by Pelago after your purchase. Go to your device's settings, select 'Cellular' or 'Mobile Data', and then choose 'Add Cellular Plan' to scan the QR code and complete the activation process.
Can I use my eSIM with multiple devices?
Typically, an eSIM can only be active on one device at a time. If you want to switch to another device, you will need to deactivate the eSIM on the current device and then activate it on the new one using the QR code.
What should I do if I encounter issues with my eSIM?
If you experience any issues with your eSIM, try restarting your device and ensuring that you have a stable internet connection. If problems persist, contact Pelago's customer support for assistance.
Is it possible to use my eSIM while traveling outside of China?
Yes, you can use your eSIM while traveling outside of China, provided that your device supports international roaming and the eSIM plan includes coverage in the countries you are visiting. Check with Pelago for specific details on international usage.
Which option should I select at checkout when I am asked "Who will this device be used for?"
Select "For myself" only if you are installing the eSIM on your device. Otherwise, please select "For Someone Else" at checkout to avoid issues with eSIM installation.
