Internet & Post Service

China Tour is Here to Help

Internet

Generally, internet service is available in the business center of the hotel where you are staying. In some hotel rooms, internet access is equipped and you could use your own computer to surf on the internet. Also, internet cafes are easily found in all the major cities in China, where internet service at an affordable price is offered. 

Please be aware that certain popular social media sites are banned in China, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc. 

Telephone

Many mobile phones have global roaming service, with which calls can be made easily. While the charges related to global roaming service can be quite expensive, buying a SIM card in China and using it on your cell phone while traveling in China is the usual suggestion, which is much cheaper.

Since a SIM card is pre-charged in China, you just need to insert it into your cell phone and calls can be made right away.

IDD service is available in the hotels and post offices. Phone cards could be purchased in the post offices, hotels and newsstands on the streets. Please pay attention that telephone booths on the street are mostly for local calls, and IDD is unworkable there.
