when you arrive airport can approach any telco counter and buy a prepaid sim

 

2gb - rmb250

3gb - rmb300

 

hassle free ... just look around few shop

The 2 main service providers are china mobile or china unicom

 

I havent buy any new sim card from tao bao before but have used their top up services, it's ok

Data roaming is THE BEST.

Just a note if your phone is not iphone 6s and Samsung s6, get china unicom 中国联通 as china telecom does not support most of our 3g band from phones that are not manufactured in china. Remember to bring ur pp to register and it shld not cost u more then 50rmb for a card. Of cos have to top up too.

My phone will be iPhone 6s

My phone will be iPhone 6s

Then no issue. Unicom,China telcom and Netcom 3g/4g band all can be used on 6s.

 

Try not buy at airport as they will do their best to swindle u of your money. Have fun in china.

 

Ps: if you are there for short term, remember to tell them as most of their data package is monthly. And they start only the following month!!
