I just reached beijing, got the starhub prepaid card at changi airport. It has 2GB data which i can use overseas. I turned on my mobile data and data roaming, but i couldn't make any calls nor access the internet. Any idea why?
If you've purchased the $32GB prepaid card from Singapore Changi Airport, it comes with 2GB Roaming Data for 10 Days.
The $50 card gives 5GB for 30 Days of Data Roaming.
I'm not sure why you can't use it.
1. Was the card activated in Singapore?
2. Did you download the Happy Prepaid App?
3. Did you activate Data Roaming?
4. Did you set the APN on your phone?
5. Where you able to connect to the China network?
6. Do you see 2G/E/H/H+/3G+/4G?
I'd advice to get the counter to setup the Prepaid App on your phone with all settings done.
Like activating the card, download the prepaid app, activate auto roaming, checking if you are on the 2GB *Free Roaming Plan, etc.
If you did not have a data plan, and you turn on Data Roaming, you stored value will wipe out in just few mins.
I've got a colleague did a top up, not sure if he's gotten a data plan, but when i tried to use USSD method to check, the balance was $0.
Hi, would like to check if anyone has tried roaming in Beijing with starhub prepaid? a friend tried 2 weeks ago and his feedback is good... because can access to google and facebook.
anyone can share experience? needed a 2nd opinion
Thanks in advance
I've used Starhub Prepaid for 2 trips in China, Used in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Hefei (An Hui).
All worked as i expected. Since always have signal, but not always 4G.
FB/Google/Anything can access.
