You no need China Visa for doing Transit at China Airport.
BTW, you also can apply 24 Hours Transit Visa Free Program so you can go sightseeing Guangzhou too. if your transit time are long enough.

Does anybody know whether can still buy SIM cards at the airport. Last week in China I cannot buy a SIM card anywhere without a China ID.

Traveler should able buy Sim Card by showing Passport.
Aim for those phone shop inside Airport, not those small kiosk / booth.

Nope. No more at Shenzhen airport. In town agents in malls say passport not enough. Wondering if the same at Baiyun.

The Unicom looks pretty convenient except it is in USD$ so about 4 times what the others cost so you've got to really make use of it. Not clear whether it has a local Chinese number and can make direct outgoing voice calls.

My edit: I didn't realize on the web page you can choose a lower cost combo, so maybe only USD$25 1GB data only, USD$28 with voice, which is a little cheaper but not so competitive.

Looks like from "Keep your number" page, there must be a local number. Also you have to pay more to use it after the expiry date.

On customize site, it got talk & text section.....of course have to add more money biggrin.gif
If got talk & text means you got your own local number.

On website, it got refill + keep # for future if you wanted used same # again......but everything also need pay

Unicom mentioned above, probablydoes not give access to Google Facebook, etc.

If you're happy with data only, probably can buy Sim2fly from Lazada or WeFly from Qoo10

There's a Guangdong only one, cheaper, more GB and more days!
