Hey, I have several questions regarding Cross Border King. Will I get a Chinese number (0086) in addition to the Hong Kong one? This is important for me because I’d like to use it to register some local apps like Uber, Dianping, Ctrip, taobao etc. on my phone, which usually only works with a local number. I feel these apps have become almost indispensable for independent travellers in the last years…

Also, is international roaming (Europe) possible with these cards? I’m asking because I’d like to receive registration codes for the apps mentioned via SMS when I’m back from China.

And lastly, when can I activate the card – is it possible to activate in at home in Europe or will I have to wait until I’m in China? Or do I have to go to Hong Kong to have it activated? Thanks so much.
