China Sim card without China Firewall

Need to travel to China.

In the past, I have gotten the China Unicom "Cross Border King" ( from Hong Kong )

This gave me firewall free internet in China.

Does anyone know if this still works? Or are there other sims?

    I’ve previously bought the Three Macau dual country roaming card that is also valid on the China Unicom network in the mainland without censorship. I even bought and activated it outside Macau, it was available at the Ferry Pier in HK.

    Or are there other sims?

    A friend just went there during the lunar new year and claimed that Google & WhatsApp still work for him. Not sure what sim he got but those un-firewalled sim are still around for travelers.

    get a HK + China sim card from https://mobimatter.com/ from memory you are looking at 45USD for 45 GB of data. Note: once you run out it shapes the speed to 128k, however for some reason mine was not shaped at all

    all roamed sims are VPN'ed back to the issuer country so theoretically any HK or Macau SIM will do

  • Can we get HK Sim card in Australia? And activated it when we land in the country?

    • You use to be able to get them on ebay. But I think some laws changed and now you can only get them in hk

  • Going via Singapore by any chance?
    Singapore has a great prepaid SIM with great international roaming rates which include China

    • Flying Qantas or Cathay. So I think they stop HK only

    • can you share the name of that sim card and how to get it?

      ive heard about it before on ozbargain but lost the details

      • Starhub prepaid SIM

  • you can also use local SIM card bundles with a VPN; I would recommend using this one
