How it works

Where your eSIM comes from

You buy from SinoConnection, a real store on Broadway in Elmhurst. The eSIM itself is provisioned through Airalo, the world's largest travel eSIM marketplace. Your data is then carried by a local network in the country you are visiting. Three parties, one purchase — here is exactly who does what.

Three parties, one purchase

  1. You buy from SinoConnection

    We are the seller of record. You pay us, your QR code arrives by email within minutes, and everything after that — installation, a plan that will not connect, a refund — comes to us. English and Chinese, from a counter you can walk into.

  2. Airalo provisions the eSIM

    Airalo (AirGSM Pte Ltd) runs the world's largest travel eSIM marketplace, and we are an authorized independent reseller. The eSIM profile that lands on your phone is issued through Airalo's platform — which is why it installs and behaves exactly like one bought direct.

  3. A local network carries your data

    When you land, your phone attaches to a real local carrier — China Mobile or China Unicom on the mainland, and the local equivalent everywhere else. That is roaming done properly: no VPN needed in China, and no US roaming bill waiting when you get home.

Why buy it from us

Bilingual support from a person

Chinese or English, from the same people who sold it to you — not a chat widget twelve time zones away.

We own your refund

Under our partner agreement, refund and replacement requests come to SinoConnection. We decide them and we process them. You are never handed off.

A real address

82-72 Broadway, Elmhurst, NY 11373 — same owner on this street since 2001. If something goes wrong before your flight, you can come in.

Plainly stated

  • SinoConnection is an authorized independent reseller of Airalo travel eSIMs. This is not an official Airalo site, and we do not speak for Airalo.
  • We do not own or operate any wireless network. Coverage, speeds and availability come from Airalo and the local operators.
  • We cannot guarantee a particular speed, or that every network is reachable everywhere. No honest reseller can.
  • Airalo and other partner brands are trademarks of their respective owners.

Ready when you are

Install before you fly — especially for China, where the Great Firewall blocks the one-tap install once you have landed.
