China Mobile eSIM Pre-Activation Service (White-Label Fulfillment)

A pre-arrival eSIM provisioning service that handles the entire activation workflow before travelers leave their home country. The service partner with regional MVNOs (like China Unicom resellers) to pre-register eSIMs using a simplified, non-resident-friendly process, then ships physical QR code cards or sends activation codes to travelers 48 hours before arrival. Travelers simply scan/enter the code at the airport or hotel with zero registration friction.
