SIM Card Application/Collection

After obtaining a local SIM card, you can use a local mobile phone number to access the Internet, download popular mobile Apps for services like ride-hailing and food delivery, purchasing park tickets, and making electronic payments. You can first submit an application online and collect the card offline. (You can click the image below to apply for a SIM card online.) After applying for a China Mobile's SIM card, you can collect it at the "Beijing Service" airport service counter at Beijing Capital International Airport. The staff at the counter will assist you with the collection procedure on site and provide consultation services related to the purchase and use of SIM cards. (For a SIM card issued by China Unicom, the staff will guide you to the corresponding service counter at the airport).
