I use almost 6 months liao, for netflix is ok one la, cos I went to Germany 2 months ago then all the shows in German.
Yah, netflix/Prime video those in Germany / Europe still okay the app will just follow the regional.

Thats also how we used VPN to swap libraries

Wats app must use SG Roaming cannot use local wifi.

For China only ...on purpose to make it so mafan one, so in china office either i use roaming data or just toggle in and out of the wifi.

In hotel room i just use the VPN on ipad for streaming and Starhub TV+

If WhatsApp work how communist monitor u? Not everyone will report their parents siblings as counter revolutionary leh
actually whatsapp works in china. dont need data roaming nor vpn.

the only problem is only text is allowed.

so it has nothing to do with monitoring.

If U use data roaming no issue. If use local Sim card pure text messages can go thru but super retarded (can wait for half hr or more). Pic attachments 100% can't go thru.

Sorry to bump up old thread. I'm visiting China and am also vivifi user. So buying the roaming pack (think it's vivifi go roam4?) works for your son and can use WhatsApp?
