That and I can highly recommend NordVPN.
nordvpn doesn't work well in China on other devices. Expressvpn works better.

I've been using T-Mobile since 2019. the additional $50/mo for International plus is hard to beat. Unlimited talk/text and 15G data. Works flawlessly all over Europe, N. Africa and Turkey for me. This year when I was over there for 3 months in the Czech Republic, it got a little spotty, and calls from people in my phone would show from Romania and other countries. Not sure if it had anything to do with what is going on farther east. YMMV

Have used both iPhone and IPad with NordVPN in China.
I frequently change servers, certain servers are slow in certain other countries and I never use servers in the country where I’m at.

Google Fi works great for me, I've used it all over Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and South America. (iPhone) It works great in all those places with Nord VPN as well.

If you have a working international plan, it makes it harder to hide your girlfriend from your wife.

I use Flexiroam. It’s an e sim that I turn on for data only when out of the country, so my regular phone is on line 1 then the data comes from the e sim on line 2. The data looks pricey but they always have a offer on with 70-85% off in the app so that’s when I top up. Works well in China.
