Affiliate disclosure

How this site makes money, and what that does and doesn’t change.

The short version

Some links on this site are affiliate links, mainly to eSIM sellers. If you click one and buy, we may earn a commission. It costs you nothing extra, and the price is the same as going to the seller directly.

Where you’ll find them

Mostly on the eSIM comparison and the individual eSIM pages, and on buttons that lead to them. Any page with affiliate links says so near the link. In the code, those links are marked as sponsored for search engines.

At the moment, no affiliate programmes are in place, so the buttons link to pages on this site rather than to sellers.

What commission doesn’t change

  • Results. A seller can’t pay for a better result or a higher place in a table.
  • The tests. We buy our own plans at the normal price.
  • What we tell you. If a free option is enough for your trip, we’ll say so. Hotel Wi-Fi and Chinese apps are enough for some visitors, and the internet guide says that too.

What we won’t promote

We don’t promote tools for getting around China’s internet filters, and we don’t take affiliate commissions for them. We don’t publish paid reviews.
