  • Shops expect Alipay or WeChat Pay, and both now accept many foreign cards. Set them up before you travel.

Questions and answers

How much does A1 charge for data in China?

The table shows the cheapest official A1 option for about 5 GB in a week, every A1 data option for China, and the source with the date we checked it.

Is China included in A1 plans?

Not in the standard plans of the A1 price list we checked. In China you pay a pass, a daily charge or a price per MB.

Can I keep my A1 number in China?

Yes. In China, keep the A1 SIM for calls and texts and use the travel eSIM for data. Turn off data roaming on the A1 line so it does not use data.

Where can I see all A1 roaming charges?

On the A1 roaming charges page, with every destination in the A1 price list.
