All six carriers and how it works
Travel eSIM flyers for Asia and Europe on the counter, beside carrier brochures

The carrier corner: Simple Mobile and Ultra Mobile plan posters beside a wall of cases and tempered glass, with a China eSIM card on the shelf

In the shop

Phones and accessories on the shelf

Phones, flip phones, power banks, cables, cases and cameras. Buy a phone and we activate it and move your number over at the same counter. Stock changes — call ahead for a specific model.

The display case: iPhones on stands with handwritten price tags, EarPods, chargers and a car mount, beside a sign offering a free flip phone with an annual plan
Every phone is priced on the tag — new and used, nothing to negotiate.
A tray of iPhones in stock, each tagged with its model, storage size and price
Two iPhone 16 handsets, blue and black, beside a SinoConnection business card
Two boxed Vortex V3 flip phones bundled with an H2O Wireless plan
Flip phones too, for anyone who wants buttons instead of a touchscreen.
DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and Osmo Pocket 4 boxes with price tags, beside a 20000mAh power bank
