Questions and answers

How much does Magenta charge for data in China?

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

Is China included in Magenta plans?

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

Can I keep my Magenta number in China?

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

Where can I see all Magenta roaming charges?

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