Re: China SIM Card

Hi TonyCheong2,
Thanks for yr suggestion and advise.
I already bought scoots air ticket to wuhan on 18 dec, quite cheap only $149 one way.
Looks like China now so advance.

Yes that China card I bought in plaza Singapore is a Hong Kong roaming card that can only used for data only. Cannot make phone calls but can use WhatsApp n Google stuffs.

Because this is my first solo trip to Wuhan so I need to do sme self research.
I've already book a hotel near the airport.
Next I need to find out from my hotel which is near the airport, how to take a bullet train to Jingzhou.

Yes that means your face will be cap.

Nowadays foreigners cannot buy a cheap China SIM card unlike in the past.
Those China SIM cards for tourists sold in airport could be costly.

The one you mentioned is not a true China SIM card.
More like a Hong Kong SIM card with roaming capabilities in China.

If you're able to get your hands on a true China SIM card by other means then go for it because data package rates are dirt cheap.
If unable to do so my recommendation is to save the hassle and just buy a Singapore prepaid or postpaid SIM from local providers and activate a roaming data plan whichever way is cheaper for you.

Google map app works in China.
Best is download Baidu Map app as more detailed if you search in Chinese language.

Good luck!
