Will my CoreESIM facilitate VPN usage and access to international applications in Shanghai?

Updated May 30, 2026

A CoreESIM provides the underlying mobile data connection in Shanghai. However, access to certain international applications and VPN services is subject to the People's Republic of China's internet regulations. While your CoreESIM will supply the necessary data bandwidth, a pre-installed and reliable VPN client on your device is typically required to bypass the Great Firewall and access services such as Google, Facebook, or Instagram. CoreESIM ensures a stable data pipe, but does not circumvent governmental content restrictions.
