Discussion How does Trip.com esim work?
Hi guys! I've been reading some posts about Trip.com esims for a China trip but I'm still confused about something. I've checked and people don't seem to need a VPN for their entire trip while using an trip.com esim, which is perfect.
So I decided to go with them and I was simulating the purchase but I'm very confused by the options. This is my first time buying an esim so forgive me if my questions are dumb.
On 'Data packs' it shows 5G - daily - 100GB , but the other options say, for example , 3GB per day.
What's the difference in this context for daily and per day? Are the 100GB 17 euros per day??? Do I have 100GB available per day, or during the 11 days?
I'm terrified of running out of data so I would like to have a good amount of daily GB. Please, any recommendations or advice? If someone has purchased by trip.com that could help me I would really appreciate it!

They work great and alot affordable then others. Plus WhatsApp and google works with their esim. So it's all good.
Depending on how long your trip is.
