u can always get the SIM using passport at airport (mostly the shops inside the airport) , i've got the SIMs before in Guangzhou and Shenzhen airport , but Guilin airport is not available.

QUOTE(oneeleven @ Oct 25 2018, 09:04 PM) Last week at Shenzhen none in sight. Asked airport staff , they said none in airport. In another city, several shops and agents said passport not enough, must have China residence or some other China ID. senzhen is selling alot sims outside the airport too.Several brands available Myfly Sim2fly etc but one drawback -- no voice except maybe via WeChat etc, and no China number for others to call. Sometimes needed for apps and other business. A few years ago the HK dual ones had a number but don't know about the present system.  |
