A Chinese-community alternative to Holafly
SinoConnection (华人通) is a US-based store rooted in the Chinese community. Like Holafly, we sell unlimited travel eSIMs with an instant, scannable QR — but with real bilingual support (English or Chinese), hands-on no-VPN China guidance, and a real NYC store behind you since 2001.
What Holafly is known for
Holafly is a global eSIM brand best known for unlimited-data plans, sold through its own app and website with English-first support. For many travelers it's a solid, popular choice.
How SinoConnection is different
We focus on something Holafly doesn't specialize in: travelers heading to China. That means bilingual (English & Chinese) support for activation and troubleshooting, plans that reach inside mainland China without a VPN — so Google, WhatsApp and Instagram just work — and a real bricks-and-mortar store in Elmhurst, Queens serving travelers since 2001, not just an app.
Who we're a good fit for
First-time China visitors, overseas Chinese traveling home (回国) or abroad, and anyone who'd rather get help from a real person than navigate an app alone. If you want unlimited data and human support in English or Chinese, we're a natural fit.
