Landed in Beijing yesterday, cannot get WeChat, WhatsApp or messages to work. I had a message from ID mobile on power on saying I’ve used 80% of my bill cap. I added £10 but still nothing. What do I need to do to be able to send/receive messages from my UK ID mobile SIM card in Beijing? 🤔
Hi Is there a bundle available that will let me avoid these charges, I fly on Monday
iD Mobile doesn’t offer any roaming bundles or add-ons for China,
The best option is probably a data-only eSIM or local SIM card, if your handset supports dual SIM use.

Unfortunately we don’t offer any sort of bundles like this, it may be worth exploring what
