Pros and cons
Pros
- Coverage of 200 countries, well above the site median of 74.
- Unlimited data is available, with a fair use policy that limits abuse or abnormal usage, and it is offered only on selected destinations and billed per day.
- Hotspot sharing and 5G are supported, and top-ups let you add data part way through a trip.
- Runs on China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom, which suits trips to China.
Cons
- Support runs on email and help centre, so help arrives by email or through help centre articles.
- Unlimited data is limited to selected destinations and billed per day, so heavy usage adds cost.
- The contract sits with eSIM Access Limited in Hong Kong, and Redtea Mobile is a marketplace seller, so the host network depends on the package.
Who it suits
- Travelers on a tight budget who would rather pay per GB or per day than commit to a contract.
- Travelers to China, where the listed networks are China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom.
- Anyone planning a trip of any length, since short trip and long trip plans cover both short breaks and extended stays.
Who should look elsewhere
- Travelers who prefer a destination specialist such as SimToIsrael, listed from $25.
- Travelers who would rather buy a travel pass through their own network operator, a route MTN covers with a pass listed from NGN 5,000.
- Price-first shoppers already set on another marketplace, since eSIMGo.is lists an entry price of $0.99.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Redtea Mobile plan cost?+
Plans start at $0.52 for the cheapest package. Country bundles are listed at $12 for Europe, $8.30 for the US and $9.50 for Japan. Regional and global options are both on the list, so you can pay for a single country or a wider zone.
Does Redtea Mobile sell unlimited data?+
Unlimited data is available, and it appears in the unlimited data, 5g and hotspot list alongside 5G, hotspot sharing and instant activation. A fair use policy applies: restrictions may be imposed on abuse or abnormal data consumption, and unlimited data is offered only on selected destinations and billed per day.
How many countries does Redtea Mobile cover?+
Coverage spans 200 countries, and the listed networks are China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom, so a trip to China runs on established local carriers. Both regional and global packages appear in the plan list, letting you buy for a single country or a wider zone.
Can I hotspot and use 5G?+
Hotspot sharing is available and 5G is supported, so a phone can act as the hotspot for a laptop or tablet. Both appear in the unlimited data, 5g and hotspot list, so check the description for your destination before you buy.
How do I activate the eSIM?+
The feature list includes instant activation, so the profile can be installed as soon as your order lands. Redtea Mobile is a marketplace, so the host network depends on the package you pick, and the seller of record is eSIM Access Limited.
Who runs Redtea Mobile?+
The seller is eSIM Access Limited, based in Hong Kong, and the company was founded in 2018. It trades as a marketplace, so the plan you buy is sourced rather than run on a single home network.
How do I get help from Redtea Mobile?+
Support runs on email and help centre, so you reach the team by email or through help centre articles rather than a phone line. If a plan needs sorting while you are abroad, email is the route to plan for.
Can I add data during my trip?+
Top-ups are available, so you can add data part way through a trip instead of buying a new plan each time. The catalogue is aimed at short trip and long trip travelers, so short breaks and extended stays are both covered by the plan types on sale.
