Roafly

Roafly operates from London and has tailored offerings specifically for China travelers. The entry-level plan costs $3.70 for 1GB across 7 days, which is competitive for short trips. What sets Roafly apart is its approach to app access: the service routes traffic through international gateways, which means you can access apps and services that would otherwise be blocked by China's network restrictions.

This feature matters significantly to business travelers and anyone who needs to stay connected to international apps without using a VPN. If your work relies on email clients, messaging apps, or cloud services hosted outside China, Roafly's gateway routing removes a major operational headache during your stay.
