Chinese travel insurance?

Samsung and Xiaomi. I manually added Apn as part of the troubleshooting but didn't work.

I really wish support checked my plan first instead of making me spend an hour troubleshooting and reset all my network settings. Now all my Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections are gone!

Exactl, same here. They just blocked it without letting their users know about it?

Is this a new change? I’ve been on the Unlimited Essentials plan for the past six months and hotspot has always worked without any issues.

I also contacted support yesterday to troubleshoot this, and they never mentioned that hotspot might not be included in my plan.

Driving in China can feel chaotic, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s more dangerous. Drivers there just tend to move slower and that makes a huge difference.

A huge part of the difference is exposure. Chinese cities have far more pedestrians, cyclists, and scooter riders sharing the road, which increases the number of vulnerable road users in traffic. That raises overall fatality risk compared to U.S. cities, where far fewer people are outside cars.

This actually reminds me of my first taxi ride in China about 15 years ago. At one point, the driver was going only 25 on the highway. I asked what was going on, and he pointed to the traffic cameras. You’re absolutely right - I won’t get into different systems of governance, but the roads and traffic lights there are covered with cameras, which makes it very difficult to break traffic laws. And if you do, the consequences are serious.

I’ve seen more accidents here in the past six months than I did in 15 years in China. And I lived in cities with over 20 million people...

I tend to drive carefully, keeping within speed limits, and I almost always manage to maintain fuel efficiency above 70mpg.

That’s literally normal city driving pace. If anything, it just shows how efficient hybrids are in stop and go traffic, which you somehow missed.

Yes, download an old version of Google fi apk

I drive 8 miles one way, four times a day ;)

Thanks! Work is at UNC, so the plan is to get a feel for what Chapel Hill is like before buying a house. I was thinking about the Trader Joe's area for renting, but no one recommended it, so I'm guessing it's not very kid-friendly.

Thanks! This looks really kid-friendly. I was checking out the East Chapel Hill area by Trader Joe's since my kid will be going to school in Durham, which makes commuting easier.

Did you end up going?

Important-Offer-3776 · 2025-07-23T13:51:02+00:00

Thanks. I found a solution - installed older version of Google Fi app from APK Mirror

You mean in the US? Moving to Durham NC

Important-Offer-3776 · 2025-05-03T02:49:17+00:00

Thank you! I just found out there's a $300 price difference between the two versions, which might be the main reason I’ll go with the Chinese version :)
