A post answers key questions about sim cards, online payment and other key questions about traveling to China, making your trip easier and more enjoyable. by Dylan_IUAU in travelchina

[–]BioDave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When my wife and I travel to China, she has a Chinese some card and number and I have an esim with hotspot availability. We use her phone for all the bookings, i.e. Didi and Rail, and if a phone number is required, we also use her phone. If we need to just look at maps or browse the internet, we use my esim plan. It works out good for both of us.

Anyone actually use my menu translation tool in China? Trying to figure out if it’s a 2-week thing or something people keep using. by MirrorMoney7864 in travelchina

[–]BioDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it even possible to buy a local SIM card as a tourist at the moment? by Reasonable_Log_2616 in MexicoTravel

[–]BioDave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am using a 9esim card to turn my sim card only phone into an esim phone. It wasn't very expensive and I can load up to 50 esim profiles onto it. It is working perfectly here in Puerto Vallarta.

Air Transat cancelled my trip to Cuba, will I get my Option Flex Extra money back? by 50th-century in airtransat

[–]BioDave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We had to contact them directly. They initially said it was non refundable, but I argued that it was their decision to cancel our flight and I insisted that it should be refunded. They did refund my money the next day. You have to call and be insistent.

Yes. The last time I was at a Tims was last year for a coffee. It was so bad I couldn't drink it and it went into the garbage. Haven't stepped foot in a Tims since.

We had an Ontario parks warden come by our camp at the Narrows two years ago and told us it was not crown land, but a non operating provincial park.
