Roaming in China
I'm travelling to China in a week or two, and do want to use my data abroad. I'm there for ten days, and info on the app isn't useful for specific prices. What should I be expecting to be charged?

£2,160 per GB of data (Yes, 2 thousand)
£2.16 per MINUTE to call UK numbers
£1.80 per minute to receive calls
50p text
£3.50 per minute to call local numbers
Note: a modern smartphone can consume 10's of megabytes just by simply connecting to a cellular network. You can consume £45 or so without even doing anything...

Rather more than the flights.....
Seriously, don't do it (and if choosing to use a local SIM, perhaps be mindful of where you are)
