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...

I am just another Sky customer and my views are my own even if you don't like the answers

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)
