Worked perfectly in Shanghai
Works perfectly in Shanghai and the surrounding areas, including Huangshan and Hangzhou. We were able to share data across multiple devices (mobile phones and tablets). Not only was the service faster than the hotel's connection, it allowed connections to Google and the other Chinese banned services without a VPN. My VPN didn't work on the hotel's WiFi, gladly I had this sim card at the ready. I didn't realize how much I relied on Google and Yahoo services until I was in China. This card is data only, but I was able to send texts with WiFi calling turned on. I will definitely buy this SIM card for my next trip.

Did not work at all, except at Pudong airport
A big mistake to buy this card again: I used this card last year and it worked flawlessly. But this time it did not! I used the same phone and had set up APN etc. as required, but I could only get mobile data service in Shanghai Pudong airport. Once I landed in my hometown - a big city in central China, it did not have service at all. In the following days I repeatedly called the tech support number listed on the package, talked to reps in English and Chinese - they all were very nice but offered no real help, only told me that their backend showed no problem for my card and asked me to reset and reboot my phone without resolving the problem. I had no data service, could not use Wechat Pay or access any website. It almost ruined my travel experience! Strangely enough, during my return trip to US, once I landed in Pudong for connection flight, the card worked again. Is this card supposed to work only in Shanghai now? I can't believe it. Will never use it again.

Works perfectly in Beijing
Used from late Jan to early feb 2024. In Beijing, access to Google, YouTube and everything. Only inconvenience is no local number. But alipay on the go with US credit card is Gold. The entire two weeks. I did not touch my credit card, except in dutyfree shop when exit the airport. At the end of my 10day trip, was able to use around 6g data, was even trying to burn some data by binge watching YouTube. So the daily WeChat and alipay and taobao shouldn't use that much data. With alipay, anything less than 200rmb there's no fee, this is at the time when I used it. May or May not change later. Alipay you can also look for ride/taxi. But the phone number showing was my Google voice. I never tried,but theoretically you can use it without calling,or maybe not. Took a long time for the card to arrive me. So order at least a month and half before your trip. Mine ordered in November 23, arrived mid December 23. With one year expiration of December 24. Installation was easy, did it right before flight touchdown in Beijing. Remember set roaming. There is also keypad short cuts to check balance (it's printed on the envelope I never knew it until I returned us). You can also top off if used up data for hkd 150, within 30 days of expiration. Don't throw away the card body. Because you will need the puk # to refill. Hope that helps!! Good luck enjoy your trip to mainland!!

Easy and works great
This works great for my 2 month trip to China. It worked as soon as I put the SIM card inside the phone. The app was easy to install and to load money. The fact that you can top it off worked great if you need extra data, especially you watch YouTube a lot. It’s definitely cheaper than paying AT & T $10 a day for 2 months. I was able to access all my Google accounts, and had no issue using local Chinese app as well. Occasionally needed some tweak to work specific app such as when I ordered take out and things the app automatically put me in Hong Kong district, but it was quick and easy to fix.I have to say though don’t bother calling the tech support, it was an recordings of some answers to common issues, but anything specific they don’t have any live person, at least not when I called late at night despite it said 24h support. I did try to use their chat support, started wit English but got no answer. But if you can type in Chinese, their support was quick?

Perfect for traveling to China
I used this data sim card three times when I traveled back to China for the past two years. It's so easy to use. Just insert the sim card when you land. I can acess google and other sites. The speed is 5G. Just perfect

It works!
I used it recently in China. It worked very well. Just put the sim card in the cell phone.when the plane landed in China, I received a text message, which included a Hong Kong phone number and how to activate the SIM card. I just need turn on the data roaming. I can use the data for Gmail and YouTube,which is banned in China. I can not use the phone number for text and call, but I can use it to receive confirmation text message, which is necessary to activate Chinese app like DiDi. To check the remaining of data in the account , I downloaded the app as instructed in the package.

Same phone. Not working anymore
This is the third time I bought this item. It worked fine during my trips in Jan and Jun 2024. However, this time it shows no signal when I arrived Beijing and made me unable to call cap and almost miss my train. I used the same phone as the last two times. SIM does not work on my father's Iphone 15 neither. Please let me know if I can do anything to activate it and then I will change the review.

If I could give it a six star rating I would
Worked beyond my expectations !!!!! I didn't need a VPN and had complete access to internet and all social media.The only thing I suggest is getting more or unlimited data. I had a 2 cards with a total of 27Gb which I ate up in 13 days and needed more
