If you need to receive texts outside of China or Japan, the Cross Border King will be no help there. There are no European tariffs listed because it does not function outside greater China and Japan.

If you can still get your hands on a China Mobile HK SIM, those work globally, but CMHK stopped officially selling all but the data-only SIM on April 28. If you can get a voice+data SIM from a third party (you'd have to anyway since CMHK doesn't sell them internationally, unlike China Unicom), it can still be activated, however.
