Product Description
Attending the Canton Fair to find suppliers, negotiate deals, or explore new business opportunities? Gigago Canton Fair eSIM keeps you connected from the moment you arrive in China, without the hassle of buying a physical SIM card or setting up a separate VPN.
Stay connected at the Canton Fair complex, your hotel in Guangzhou, and while traveling to factories or meeting suppliers across China. You can access essential apps such as Google, Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, and LINE without installing a separate VPN.
Key Features:
- Connect as soon as you arrive: Your eSIM automatically connects to a supported network when you arrive in China.
- Keep your primary SIM: No need to remove your regular SIM, so you can still receive SMS or OTPs when needed.
- No physical SIM required: Buy and install your eSIM entirely online before departure.
- No separate VPN needed: Access Google, Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, LINE, and other supported apps in China.
- Hotspot supported: Share your connection with your laptop, tablet, or other devices during the fair.
Preparation Before Purchase:
- Check that your phone supports eSIM technology. Use the Check Compatibility tool above to verify.
- Make sure your device is carrier-unlocked.
Important Notes:
- The eSIM QR code is valid for 30 days from the date you receive it via email.
- We recommend purchasing your eSIM at least one day extra beyond your intended usage to avoid expiration issues due to time zone differences between countries.
- eSIM plan validity starts upon installation. The best time to install eSIM is one day before or on the departure day.
- Do not delete the eSIM after installation, as the QR code can only be scanned once.
- Turn on Data Roaming for your Gigago eSIM when using it in China.
- Time calculation: One day of eSIM usage is counted until 11:59 PM Beijing time (GMT+8)
- TikTok, CapCut, most AI apps are not supported.
- Daily data plans reset each day during your plan's validity period. Once you use up your daily high-speed data allowance, your quota will refresh the next day.
Why You Should Not Rely on Free On-site WiFi
The Canton Fair also runs its own free on-site Wi-Fi, but you can only use it if you log in with your Buyer badge number as the username and the last 6 digits of that badge number as the password. The on-site Wi-Fi support counters are available in Areas A–D and at the Canton Fair Information Counter.

When should I buy an eSIM for Canton Fair?
We recommend buying your Canton Fair eSIM about 1–2 weeks before departure. The Gigago eSIM QR code must be installed within 30 days of purchase. If it is not installed within this period, the QR code will expire.
For example:
- If you are attending Phase 1 starting October 15, consider purchasing your eSIM in early October.
- If you are attending Phase 3 starting October 31, you can purchase it around mid-October.
- If you are attending multiple phases or combining the Canton Fair with factory visits or supplier meetings, choose a plan that covers your entire stay in China, not just the exhibition dates.
Important: Avoid purchasing your eSIM more than 30 days before your trip, as the QR code may expire before you install it.

What Customers Say About Gigago eSIM?
Over 1,000,000 customers have experienced and are satisfied.
I traveled through 7 countries in Europe in just 15 days, and Gigago eSIM was a lifesaver! Instead of buying multiple SIM cards, I had one eSIM that worked seamlessly in France, Germany, Italy, and beyond. The local network support meant I had 5G speeds in major cities, which made navigation, video calls, and social media uploads effortless. Saved over $100 on roaming fees!

Great purchase! No regrets in choosing eSIM from Gigago. It was convenient, easy to set up and reliable. I was skeptical at first, but after using Gigago eSIM in Japan, I’m convinced this is the best way to stay connected while traveling. The prices are much cheaper than my carrier’s roaming fees - only over $35 for a 30-day trip with 20GB of high-speed data. Highly recommend this for budget-conscious travelers!

I had trouble installing the eSIM on my Samsung Galaxy S22, but Gigago’s customer support was amazing. I contacted them via live chat at midnight, and they responded in less than 2 minutes! They walked me through the steps, and within 5 minutes, I was connected to 4G LTE in Thailand. I didn’t have to stress about data limits, and the connection was fast and stable everywhere in Bangkok, even in crowded areas like Chatuchak Market and the Grand Palace.

I used Gigago eSIM for a 10-day adventure in Indonesia, and overall, it worked great. The internet was fast in Jakarta and Bali, but when I visited Komodo Island, the signal dropped to 3G. If you’re staying in cities, Gigago is perfect, but for rural areas, expect some fluctuations.

As a digital nomad, I need fast and reliable internet. I used Gigago's unlimited eSIM in Vietnam for a full month and had 99% uptime! I worked remotely, joined Zoom meetings without lag, and even streamed Netflix in HD. Plus, I could share data with my laptop without any issues. This eSIM is a must-have for remote workers!

When I was in Paris, I realized that many restaurants and taxi services only accept local phone numbers for reservations. Thanks to Gigago’s France eSIM, I had a French number, which made it easy to book tables at popular restaurants and call local taxis without using expensive international calls. If you're traveling in France, this is a must-have!
