The most frequently asked questions I got during my China trip last week were "How to access the Internet to open Instagram, Google, YouTube, etc since they are all blocked?" . Well, for the first 3 days I used a VPN app which basically hides your IP address, hence your location, making it seem like you're accessing the Internet from a different country. It can easily be downloaded on Play Store or Apple Store (the one I used was VyprVPN). . However, it was frequently disconnecting (like every 10-20mins and got even worse on the 3rd day), so I had to manually tap the 'connect' button over and over again which was very inconvenient and annoying. I've tried the 'Connect Automatically' option but it didn't work. Now now, the other influencers didn't have this problem (their VPNs worked just fine even though the Internet speed wasn't that fast either), so don't get discouraged to visit China just yet; maybe I was just unlucky. ? Anyway, we thought it was because my Internet balance was running low, so on the 4th day I bought a new SIM card + 1GB Internet, but the only app I could open with it was WhatsApp. At this point the VPN couldn't connect AT ALL. In the midst of my frustration, my mom WhatsApped me asking why I hadn't updated my Instagram and Insta-story that day (ikr ?), then I told her the whole story and she suggested to use the Roaming package from my Indonesian SIM card (Telkomsel), but I was a bit reluctant because I thought if the VPN couldn't work on my phone then it wouldn't make any difference, right? Finally, my mom called the service center and turns out the Roaming package already includes VPN access and it worked MUCH better compared to using China SIM Card + VPN app! I could open all blocked apps and the Internet speed was considerably fast with no disconnecting issues! ? I bought the 3-day package (1GB) for IDR 120,000. There you go, 2 options to access the Internet in China! ? Moral of the story? Mother knows best. ? (Swipe left!) . #ellejessinchina
