QUOTE(cheekiat95 @ Dec 13 2018, 08:12 AM) You can use Alipay with a China sim card. Transfer your RMB cash into your Alipay account at any convenient stores (depends on the amount, with extra 10-30RMB as service charge). You can pay at any stores or Didi (grab in China) using Alipay, but not subway or public transport. Shanghai subway accept Alipay and Wechatpay |

QUOTE(cheekiat95 @ Dec 14 2018, 09:35 AM) You cant pay with Alipay or Wechat unless you verified your identity with local bank card or ID. Got trick to used alipay and wechat pay for foreinersBuy China Sim card and download wechat & alipay. Once done pay cash to someone and ask them transfer the wechat/alipay credit to your phone and activated the whole system. Without bank account link to it, you just can't direct transfer money into wechat/alipay account. So eveytime you want to top up, just pay cash to someone and ask them transfer credit to you |

QUOTE(oneeleven @ Jan 22 2019, 12:31 AM) Can I do this now in Malaysia with my China SIM? If your IP address is China then can download China version wechat & Alipay which comes with thier payment system. QUOTE(oneeleven @ Jan 22 2019, 01:16 AM) Nice site, nice service, but maybe over-priced in USD$. 10GB data for Rm80? Should be able to top up outside of China since it was using credit card method to top up. Guangzhou in November - I found SIM service at the Hotels Info counter before exiting security area. It was Unicom but I don't remember the price. Official Unicom counter in big mall told me it would be valid as long as there is balance. I bought a 50 yuan top up card to keep on hand for next landing in China.. The website says expires after 90 days despite balance. Extend 90 days for USD$10, etc. When I put in number, it says not valid for their service. I guess I should risk 50 yuan and load the topup before the 90 days. Dunno if works outside China though. This FAQ should able to answer ur question. https://www.mychinaunicom.com/help-FAQ.jsp This foreigners version of Unicom sim card cannot top up from shop, It only can top up from website according to FAQ This post has been edited by RegentCid: Jan 22 2019, 10:24 AM |

Do i need new simcard for data over there?
What is the best way to access whatsapp,use vpn? Which is more easier to use and have wide acceptance,alipay,tencent? Without China Simcard / (China) simcard data package from shopee, you can't used certain app such as DIDI or scan menu on table and order food. You can used Data Roaming service which you no need vpn. Or used VPN if you used sim card which I mention above. Our Touch N Go are China Alipay identical twin. You can used our T&Go E wallet app anywhere in China (Scan or Be-scan) but some shop only accept tencent pay then just pay with cash. |

QUOTE(joe09 @ Mar 9 2024, 05:35 PM) Hi guys, going to China soon. From existing discussion here, looks like if I download Alipay international version and linked it with my debit/credit already, I should be able to make any payment in China that accepts Alipay right? Cut everyhing to simple. Just used TnGo E Wallet. Anyone can confirm if the Alipay International version app only can let the merchant scan our QR code (like the Alipay in Touch N Go) to make payment? I tried to play around with both so far and it seems that we are not able to scan the merchant QR code to make payment? Thanks. Just Scan & pay like you do in Malaysia, It will automatic do the conversion. If Shop required you to provided QR Code for scan, Just go to "PAY" Section and "Swipe up to pay aboard via Alipay" Choose "Mainland China" IF someshop no Alipay, only got Wechat Pay......then Pay with Cash. I always bring some Cash just in case. |

QUOTE(elm0001 @ Aug 19 2024, 06:36 PM) has anyone been to zhangjiajie recently or in the past 1 year? is zhangjiajie a cashless city now? or am i encouraged to still bring some cash? Entire China are cashless lah. But China law, all merchant must accept cash. If you plan to pay using cash, don't pay any Gap more than 20 above. if you ask me, i would pretty much prefer not to bring cash… but im not sure Example you buy Cup noodle, 8.5 yuan inside Zhangjiajie maximum is 20 Yuan. If you pay 50 or 100, they won't have enough cash to pay you back. This post has been edited by RegentCid: Sep 9 2024, 01:36 PM |
