Passport Plus China

Im currently in China and received the usual Sky welcome text when I arrived. In the text it said that China would be part of the passport plus scheme from today's date. I'm yet to see it activated and was wondering when it will be active.

Thanks.

This link is still showing China as a Rest Of The World destination so will be very expensive. Quite a few countries were added to Passport Plus at the end of March but did not include China.

Hi @Scott1302 we have asked for clarification from sky, can you post a screenshot of the welcome message ?

I'd note the 'special administrative region' of Hong Kong is covered by £2 roaming.

That message does also say they'll send confirmation when the change has taken place, so in the meantime I would suggest the costs will be extremely high.

@Scott1302 As per the reply from @Daniel0210 until you get the confirmation from sky that this change has happened then be careful of high roaming charges. Hopefully sorted out soon as per your message.

The link I provided has now been updated to reflect the additional countries now covered by Roaming Passport Plus which includes China.
