Pengyou Posted May 30, 2021 at 08:23 AM Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 at 08:23 AM I want to get a sim card from the US that allows for international roaming. I think my xiao mi has a gsm system, and will accept two sim cards. Is it going to work? I have heard that Chinese international airports sell US sim cards. Is that true? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Finster Posted May 30, 2021 at 12:21 PM Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 at 12:21 PM Good question. A colleague of mine from Canada had some type of global roaming that worked in China (3 years ago). He could literally upload pictures he took standing on the Great Wall to his Facebook. I think he said it was a special Apple deal that allows for global roaming (but do not quote me on that). Since I am an Android user did not follow up on this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
大肚男 Posted June 1, 2021 at 05:32 PM Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 at 05:32 PM You may want to call your carrier and check if their international roaming works in China. However, things are super fluid in China, and what worked today, many not work tomorrow. FYI, the last time I went to China in 2019, getting a legit sim card in China was fairly difficult, unless you are in an airport or university. I ended up getting one from a shady store in a subway pedestrian tunnel for an inflated price (about double the legit price) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
