Roaming in China

[MD211]

Hi EE i am going to China next month and have a full works package with EE that covers world wide ie China. Does that mean when i arrive in China and throughout my tour that i can acces apps like Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram etc by using my data and it is unaffected by the firewall in China?

You'll receive a Welcome text upon arrival at a country giving your roaming options & the opportunity to buy Roaming Passes.

You may use your usual UK allowances in the EE ROW Zone 1 with up to 50 GB data per billing month as you have an EE Full Works Plan. 

Just remember to text ROAMING to 150 before leaving UK to ensure the roaming ability is enabled on your no.

I went a few months ago and was on the same package and had no issues with anything being blocked or any charges everything worked perfectly with no fuss. 

I did find in places with bad signal using wifi I was not able to access some apps but on data there was no issues. It never applied a cap to my usage so I would just connect to data when the singal improved.

@MD211 : Already answered in your 1st thread. Why repeat?

Ok thank you. So on arrival you are allocated to a local network but turn on data roaming and able to use your full works data plan to access Western social media apps with no problems
