I'm in China, using a Pixel phone. There are countless people using VPN in China, no instability problem. I bought 400G of traffic per month, and the price is only $2.75 per month.

    If living in Europe you probably have mobile providers with Postpaid or prepaid options that let you roam in China as if you were in your home country.

    Example for France: Free Mobile, 20 EUR/month, 35 Go outside Europe

        Just rubbish. I recently travelled to China from India. Was there for a week. Shanghai, Hangzhou and Shenzhen.

        Enabled international roaming for China on my Jio and Airtel sims. Installed Proton app for VPN.

        Everything worked including WhatsApp, Google services and facebook. Map navigation was accurate to the last meter. Used Google translator extensively to communicate with the locals.

        Phone used : Realme 11 Pro plus.

          Any seasoned traveler knows the better route is to get a Hong Kong SIM and roam in China. No need to worry about the firewall.

              Let eSim be secondary. Why we can't have Sim and Memory Sim at the same time???
