Traveling to China and need unrestricted connectivity? PikaSim provides anonymous eSIM service for China with no mandatory real-name registration, no government ID submission, and no VPN blocks for basic connectivity.
Why Choose Anonymous Connectivity in China
Avoid Real-Name Registration

Protect Business Confidentiality
Business travelers to China can maintain separation between Chinese connectivity and corporate communications, reducing IP theft and surveillance risks.
