- iOS version: iOS 12.1 or newer for full eSIM support.
- Android version: Android 9 or newer typically supports eSIM, though it depends on the manufacturer.
- Region-specific variants: some Samsung models sold in Hong Kong or China are dual physical SIM with no eSIM , verify your specific model number.

Tip: if your current phone doesn't support eSIM but you travel often, an unlocked, mid-range eSIM-capable phone (e.g., Pixel 7a, iPhone SE 3, Samsung Galaxy A55) makes an excellent secondary travel device , pair it with a Cellesim plan and you have a full mobile internet kit for any destination.
No, the internet is open. Unlike Mainland China, Macau does not have the "Great Firewall." You can freely access Google Maps, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, and YouTube without needing a VPN. Our eSIM gives you unrestricted access to the global internet, just like you are used to.
Not automatically. Even though they are just a 1-hour ferry ride apart, Hong Kong and Macau have separate telecommunication systems. Most local Hong Kong SIMs require you to activate a specific roaming package. If you have bought our Macau-only eSIM, it will not work in Hong Kong. If you are visiting both cities (which most travelers do), we highly recommend our Asia Regional or Hong Kong & Macau Bundle plans to stay connected on both sides of the Pearl River Delta.
Signal quality is crucial, especially inside the massive casino resorts on the Cotai Strip. Our eSIM typically connects to CTM (Companhia de Telecomunicações de Macau), the territory's leading provider. This ensures you have strong 4G/5G coverage whether you are exploring the Ruins of St. Paul's in the old peninsula or shopping in the Venetian Macao.
No. Buying a physical prepaid SIM card in Macau is now strictly regulated and requires ID registration at a shop. Cellesim travel eSIMs are data-only roaming plans that allow you to bypass this tedious registration process. You can buy online and connect instantly without handing over your passport details or waiting in queues at the ferry terminal.
No. This plan is valid only within Macau. Many travelers walk across the border gate to Zhuhai (Mainland China) for shopping or dining. Once you cross that border, you enter Mainland China, where networks are different and internet censorship (firewalls) applies. To stay connected in Zhuhai, you will need a separate China eSIM or a Global plan that includes VPN-like routing.
Most modern phones do, but you must check our specific list here: eSIM Compatible Devices to be 100% sure before purchasing.
No, Uber does not currently operate in Macau. You need reliable data to use the Macau Taxi app, call a Radio Taxi, or show drivers your destination on Google Maps to overcome language barriers.
Yes. Coverage is excellent throughout the Cotai Strip, allowing you to stay connected while navigating the massive indoor canals of The Venetian or visiting the Eiffel Tower replica at The Parisian.
Yes. You will have strong coverage in the quieter Coloane area, perfect for instantly sharing photos of the famous Portuguese egg tarts from Lord Stow's Bakery or the black sands of Hac Sa Beach.
Absolutely. The bus system in Macau can be complex; having active data to use Google Maps or the local Bus Traveling System app is vital to find the correct route and get off at the right stop.
