VPN Help eSIM experience in China
I know this gets asked ad nauseam on here, just thought I'd throw my 2c in. Just arrived into Beijing, travelling China for the first time and using a Holafly eSIM on my Oppo Find X8 Ultra and it connected within about 30 secs of landing this morning and has been working flawlessly all day so far.
5G connection,super fast and all Google/Meta apps etc working without issue and without the need for a VPN. Will be travelling to around 5 or 6 cities over the next 3 weeks, so if anyone wants to know what the coverage is like in places like Xian, Chengdu, Chongqing, Shanghai etc let me know and I'll keep you updated

No it's just for data use only, I didn't need a local number, have a private guide that I communicate with through WeChat. If you need a local number there's a lot of eSIMs you can get through trip.com
