eSims, what is your experience.

Wouldn’t go with lemon mobile. No response to my refund emails after SIM was sent back to them. As they’re uncontactable and resolutely ignored my emails to follow up on the refund over the last month, I’ll bet won’t get any support or help either if stranded overseas with their SIM/e-sim if they’re not functioning.

NOT recommended. Not a trustworthy company to deal with. They went radio silence on refund after return on SIM. It’s been more than a month since I asked for refund. Unresponsive after sales service means they cannot be relied upon to support if any issues stranded overseas with their sim/e-sim.

I think I said up thread that I’d be reluctant to buy anything from a company called “Lemon”!

But I can imagine your frustration.

Midway through a trip.com Mainland China SIM and it's been great (paid A$10 or so for 20GB/ 7 days). Mostly 5G speeds on China Mobile and had decent data connection at the crowded F1 event, unlike people on Airalo, and roaming on their Euro carriers. Exit point in HK so relatively close and all the banned mainland apps (Google, meta etc) work fine.. as do the Chinese payment apps.
Oh, I just re read this. I was about to ask if getting two eSIMs for China makes sense (ie a China eSIM for local stuff) and one of the usual providers for accessing stuff outside China. But sounds like I just need this? Plus if it covers HKG(?) also, that’s great because I’m flying CX.

Did also see these on the KF store via Pelago. I might be able to burn a few residual KF miles in the process…
