With these savings, Yesim jumps into the lead with its 3GB plan costing $9.30 and its 5GB plan totaling $13.70.<\/p>\n<p>Airalo has a smart estimate of the approximate amount of data you&#8217;ll need based on your usage, which also applies to the other two providers.  Video streaming is the biggest data guzzler, with SD content consuming around 1GB of data per hour while HD (4GB\/h) and 4K (7GB\/h) can chew up your data packets quite quickly, so keep this in mind when selecting your package data.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<b>Estimated data usage per hour<\/b><\/p>\n<li>Google Maps: 5 MB\/h<\/li>\n<li>Social media: 50 MB\/hour<\/li>\n<li>Internet browsing: 50 MB\/hour<\/li>\n<li>Online gaming: 70+MB\/h<\/li>\n<li>Music streaming: 100MB\/h<\/li>\n<li>Video SD: 1GB\/hour<\/li>\n<li>HD Video: 4GB\/h<\/li>\n<li>4K video: 7 GB\/hour<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Configuration and activation<\/h3>\n<p>The setup and activation processes for all three services are similar, but you should first make sure your device supports eSIM.  These are all smartphones with eSIM support from our database.  We also have a listing for tablets here.<\/p>\n<p>You can then go to Saily, Airalo or Yesim to choose the specific data plan for your use case.  Once you have selected and purchased your plan, you will see it within your profile on the respective app.  You will then be guided through a setup process to activate your eSIM profile which involves scanning a QR code that has been sent to your account and following the on-screen instructions.  You can also manually enter the activation code instead of scanning the QR code.<\/p>\n<p class=\"image-row clearfix\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Installation process for Saily, Airalo and Yesim\" width=\"221\" height=\"135\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1718504703_649_Traveling-to-China-eSim-is-your-best-roaming-option.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Installation process for Saily, Airalo and Yesim\" width=\"202\" height=\"135\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1718504703_501_Traveling-to-China-eSim-is-your-best-roaming-option.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Installation process for Saily, Airalo and Yesim\" width=\"202\" height=\"135\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1718504703_917_Traveling-to-China-eSim-is-your-best-roaming-option.jpg\"><br \/>\n<br \/><span><strong>Installation process for Saily, Airalo and Yesim<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>We recommend activating your travel eSIM before your trip and with a stable Wi-Fi connection which will save you the hassle of going through the process upon arrival at your destination and having to deal with unstable airport Wi-Fi networks.<\/p>\n<p>Once activated, your new eSIM profile should appear in your cellular data settings under eSIM.
