Keep your number. Install before you fly.
Use a dedicated China plan for mainland China. Do not infer mainland coverage from an APAC label. A Beijing or Shanghai week commonly needs 3–5 GB; Hong Kong is a separate coverage and access environment.
Keep your home number
Use the travel eSIM for data while keeping your regular line available for important messages and verification. Turn off home-line data roaming.
Prepare before you leave
Your QR code arrives by email. Install on Wi-Fi, then activate when your selected plan terms call for it.
Expect real-world coverage
Buildings, terrain, tunnels and local network conditions can still affect service. Coverage is plan-specific.

Do not assume that. Use a dedicated China plan for mainland China and check the selected SKU's live country list. APAC coverage and routing are not a substitute unless that specific plan explicitly includes mainland China.
Most Beijing and Shanghai weeks need 3–5 GB once you leave hotel Wi-Fi for maps, transfers and photos. A 1 GB pack only works if hotel Wi-Fi is usable for the apps you need. Plan 5–10 GB for 7–15 days of daily navigation; video, hotspot and a longer stay need more.
No. Hong Kong is not the same coverage or internet-access environment as mainland China. Confirm whether the selected plan includes each stop, and do not infer one from the other.
On a compatible unlocked dual-SIM phone, keep the home line for calls, SMS and verification if your carrier supports it abroad, select the China eSIM for data, and turn off home-line data roaming. Your home carrier may still charge for roaming calls or SMS.
