Fantastic, worked a dream in China
Worked every city visited in China including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and others. I had a 5G connection most of the time and the ability to use WhatsApp and unrestricted use of the internet. Well worth every penny! For info, I didn’t stream any videos off the connection (movies etc) but I did use instagram, maps, internet, sent photos and videos. I used around 1GB per day.
