Quibity China eSIM review + promo code (Nov 2026)

Quibity China eSIM review: 1–30-day Unlimited plans with 4GB/day at full speed, prices from $6.20, Google Maps access and 5% off with CHOFQZJF.

Published 2026-11-02 Updated 2026-11-09

Quibity's strongest reason to choose its China eSIM is its higher daily full-speed allowance: Unlimited gives you 4 GB at full speed every 24 hours, twice the 2 GB/day on Nomad's Unlimited plans (see my test). It costs more — $42 for 7 days before discounts versus Nomad's recorded $25 — but is worth considering if you regularly use more than 2 GB in a day and want a 1–30-day duration that fits your trip. After 4 GB, Quibity slows to 1 Mbps until the next cycle. Fixed-data plans range from $6.20 for 1 GB to $38.70 for 20 GB; Quibity says WhatsApp and Google Maps work without a separate VPN, but ChatGPT and TikTok do not. The code CHOFQZJF takes 5% off.

Plans and pricing

Quibity sells fixed-data plans and Unlimited passes for mainland China. Its main advantage is 4 GB of full-speed data every 24 hours on Unlimited — twice Nomad’s 2 GB/day. The trade-off is a higher purchase price: Quibity’s 7-day Unlimited plan costs $42.00 before discounts, compared with $25.00 for Nomad. Choose any Unlimited duration from 1 to 30 days; after 4 GB in a day, Quibity slows to 1 Mbps until the next cycle.

Before buying: Unlimited includes 4 GB of full-speed data per day, then speeds fall to 1 Mbps until the next cycle. Fixed-data packages can be topped up from your account.

Cashback: Quibity advertises 5% cashback as Quibity account credit, not a card refund. It cannot be withdrawn and may still be earned on coupon purchases.

Buying and activation

  1. Open Quibity’s China page or the Quibity app, and pick a plan.
  2. At checkout, enter CHOFQZJF (5% off) in the “Do you have a coupon?” box, then pay. Quibity emails you the QR code straight away, and the eSIM also appears under My eSIMs in your Quibity account.
  3. Install the eSIM before you leave home, on Wi-Fi: Quibity’s advice is to do it on the day you fly, because installing needs an internet connection. Installing doesn’t start the plan — it starts when you reach China — but it does end your right to a refund. Quibity gives you 60 days from purchase to start a fixed-data plan, and 180 days for unlimited.
  4. When you land in China, turn on the Quibity line, set it as your mobile data line and turn on data roaming for it — only for the eSIM, so your own carrier doesn’t charge you for roaming.
  5. If a fixed-data plan runs low, top it up from My eSIMs.

Refunds: Quibity refunds an eSIM only while it isn’t installed, within 180 days of purchase: from My eSIMs, free and instantly to your Quibity balance, or to your card minus a $2.50 fee. Once it’s installed, it can’t be refunded, even if you never used it. Quibity’s terms also describe a Flexy Option: pay €2 extra when you buy, and you can get your money back minus the €2 even after installing, as long as you’ve used no more than 100 MB.

Who should buy it

Buy it if you:

  • Want fixed data you can top up — 5 GB for 30 days costs $13.90 before discounts, and you can add data when needed.
  • Regularly use 2–4 GB of mobile data a day and don’t mind paying more for a higher full-speed allowance — Quibity Unlimited gives you 4 GB/day at full speed, compared with Nomad’s 2 GB/day, for any trip length from 1 to 30 days. After 4 GB, Quibity slows to 1 Mbps.
  • Prefer buying before departure — Quibity’s China plans start when you reach China. Check the activation deadline (60 days for fixed-data plans, 180 days for Unlimited) and refund conditions before purchasing.

Quibity alternatives for China

If you prefer different app access, lower prices or a different Unlimited policy, compare these alternatives:

If you…PickWhy
Need ChatGPT or TikTokYesim or Trip.comQuibity says both are unavailable on its China eSIM. Both opened on these alternatives in my tests.
Are on a short trip with light useTrip.comIts China eSIM starts at $0.10 a day for 500 MB (see my review).
Want unlimited data without a daily capYesimQuibity slows you to 1 Mbps after 4 GB a day. Yesim sets no daily cap of its own on its passes, from 1 to 30 days (see my review).

When is Quibity worth the higher price? If you often need more than Nomad’s 2 GB/day at full speed but don’t need more than 4 GB/day, Quibity’s Unlimited plan gives you a larger daily full-speed allowance for a higher price. If price matters more or you use less data, compare the 7-day Unlimited prices below, including eligible promo codes. These are the providers’ published plan limits:

  • Unlimited: Nomad, 7 days, $25.00. Full speed: 2 GB a day, then slowed.
  • Large fixed plan: Nomad, 20 GB, 30 days, $22.00.

Need more than 20 GB? Nomad also sells 50 GB for 45 days, at $0.74 a GB (see my review).

What's good

  • Quibity Unlimited gives you 4 GB/day at full speed — twice Nomad's 2 GB/day — with any duration from 1 to 30 days
  • Fixed-data plans cost $13.90 for 5 GB or $20.80 for 10 GB, each valid for 30 days
  • Fixed-data plans can be topped up through your Quibity account, so running out doesn't mean buying a new eSIM
  • Plans start only when you reach China; uninstalled eSIMs may be refunded within 180 days of purchase
  • Every plan earns 5% cashback as credit toward your next Quibity eSIM, even if you use a coupon code

What's not

  • A week of unlimited costs $42 — more than Nomad or Yesim charge for a week
  • Quibity's official China guide says ChatGPT and TikTok are unavailable
  • After 4GB in a day, unlimited plans slow to 1 Mbps — enough for maps and messages, not video — and they can't be topped up
  • Refunds end once you install the eSIM, even if you never used it, and Quibity tells you to install it before you leave home
  • Support is by contact form and email only — no live chat or WhatsApp

Frequently asked questions

Does Quibity work in China?

Quibity sells China eSIM plans on China Mobile, and its Unlimited plan also lists China Telecom and China Unicom, with speeds up to 5G. Quibity says its China eSIM can access supported websites and apps without a separate VPN.

How much does Quibity cost in China?

Fixed-data plans run from $6.20 for 1 GB over 7 days to $38.70 for 20 GB over 30 days. The unlimited plan comes in any length from 1 to 30 days: when I checked on 2 November 2026, a week cost $42.00, or $6.00 a day. The code CHOFQZJF takes 5% off. Check today's prices on Quibity's China page.

Is Quibity's unlimited China plan really unlimited?

Not at full speed. You get 4 GB a day at full speed, then Quibity slows you to 1 Mbps until your next 24-hour cycle — counted from when the eSIM first connected, not from midnight. 1 Mbps is enough for maps and messages, but not for video. That's still twice the full-speed data of Nomad's unlimited plans. Quibity's fair usage policy also rules out tethering too many devices, large downloads and peer-to-peer.

Can I buy or top up Quibity after I land in China?

Buy and install your Quibity China eSIM before you fly, using a reliable Wi-Fi connection. The plan starts when you reach China. If your fixed-data allowance runs low, Quibity says you can top it up under My eSIMs in your account. Unlimited plans can't be topped up: after 4 GB of full-speed data in a 24-hour period, speeds drop to 1 Mbps until the next cycle.

Does Quibity's hotspot work in China?

Yes. Quibity says its China eSIM plans support hotspot sharing, with no specific hotspot allowance on Unlimited. Its fair-usage policy prohibits connecting an unreasonable number of devices. Shared usage still counts toward the daily full-speed allowance.

Is there a Quibity promo code or discount code?

Yes. My code CHOFQZJF takes 5% off: enter it in the coupon box at checkout on Quibity's China page. Two more codes take the same 5% off: CHOKUSDQ, CHOPRMCI. I checked CHOFQZJF at Quibity's checkout on 2 November 2026, where it took the 7-day unlimited plan from $42.00 to $39.90, and the order still earned $2.00 of cashback as Quibity credit.

Can I get a refund on a Quibity eSIM?

Only before you install it. Within 180 days of purchase, you can refund an eSIM you haven't installed from My eSIMs: free and instantly to your Quibity balance, or to your card minus a $2.50 fee. Once it's installed, it can't be refunded, even if you never used it. Quibity's terms also describe a Flexy Option: pay €2 extra when you buy, and you can get your money back minus the €2 even after installing, as long as you've used no more than 100 MB.

Does Quibity give you a Chinese phone number?

No. Quibity's China plans are data only, so there's no number and no calls or texts. Your own number stays on your main SIM, so WhatsApp keeps working with it; Quibity suggests WhatsApp or Viber for calls. Calls and texts that reach your main SIM may cost roaming fees from your own carrier.

Does Quibity's China plan work in Hong Kong?

No. Quibity's China plan covers mainland China only. For mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan on one eSIM, consider Yesim's Asia Pacific eSIM.

Does Quibity work with WhatsApp, Google Maps and ChatGPT in China?

Quibity says WhatsApp and Google Maps work on its China eSIM without a separate VPN. Its official China guide says ChatGPT and TikTok are unavailable.
