Can I use Uber in China with my SouthESIM?

Updated April 22, 2026

While Uber isn't operational in mainland China, your SouthESIM will be essential for using local ride-hailing services. The most popular app is Didi Chuxing, which can often be accessed through platforms like Alipay. Having reliable data is crucial not only for booking rides but also for utilizing the in-app translation features to communicate effectively with your driver. It's a key tip for seamless and budget-friendly travel around China's cities.
