This worked great in China (June 2024). I purchased the 5 GB / 30-day serivce. I used it in both Hubei province (central (ish) China) and Jilin province (northeast China). The sim was installed on a modern Samsung phone running Android 14. It worked immediately upon install and lasted the whole 30 days. The only small quirk was having to reboot the phone when I turned off the data service. It would not reconnect without a reboot. This only occurred in the northeast. The data service was surprisingly good.
I was able to get RCS texting (texting over wifi/data) working just fine when installing my regular phone sim in slot 1 (set as default for calls and texts) and setting the China Data sim in slot 2 and setting it as default for data. Everywhere I went, RCS texting was blocked when using wifi in China, so the mentioned solution with China Data allowed for RCS texting.
China Data service does install a small admin app, but Norton did not see it as malware.
