Does GOMO roaming work in China?

Yes, GOMO roaming works in China. You can stay connected either through roaming-inclusive plans or by purchasing add-on roaming packs.

GOMO’s roaming partners in China are China Mobile and China Unicom. When your roaming is activated, your phone should automatically connect to one of these networks upon arrival in China. If it doesn’t, you can manually select the preferred network via your device settings.

How much does GOMO charge for roaming in China?

As a GOMO user, you can access China roaming through either roaming-inclusive plans or roaming add-ons, depending on your data needs.

Roaming inclusive plans

If you’re on one of GOMO’s 5G+ plans, some already include China roaming data. These have a higher monthly cost, but you won’t need to purchase an add-on whenever you travel to China. Here’s a breakdown of what each plan offers:

Plan nameRoaming data allowancePrice (SGD)
5G+ PROLITE10GB across 50 destinations$20.99 / month
5G+ GLOBAL INFINITYUnlimited* Worldwide data roaming across 50 destinations$50 / month
5G+ ASIA INFINITYUnlimited* Asia data roaming across 18 destinations$30.56 / month
5G+ VALUE6GB data roaming across 50 destinations$18.33 / month

*Based on GOMO’s Fair Usage Policy, unlimited Asia roaming includes 20GB at full speed, while unlimited international roaming includes 25GB. Usage beyond this will be throttled to lower speeds.

GOMO roaming-inclusive plans are contract-free, and charges are automatically billed to the debit or credit card linked to your account. All plans are non-refundable, so it’s best to review the details before subscribing.

You can purchase these roaming-inclusive plans online via the GOMO website or the GOMO mobile app, making it convenient to sign up or switch plans anytime. Data usage and roaming balances can also be tracked in real-time through the GOMO app.

GOMO roaming add-ons allow you to purchase additional roaming data to use in China without changing your base plan. Add-ons can be purchased up to one day before departure through the GOMO app.

Each add-on is non-refundable and will expire after its stated validity period. Unused data does not roll over, so it’s best to monitor usage through the GOMO app during your trip.

Can I use WhatsApp while roaming in China with GOMO?

Yes, GOMO roaming in China provides mobile data that can be used for apps such as WhatsApp. However, using the internet in China comes with unique challenges, as restrictions may limit access to certain apps and websites. To ensure smoother connectivity, using a VPN is recommended.
