China Unicom Prepaid Data SIM Card, Can access Gmail in China. (3-in-1 Size) 2GB Data Preloaded, Ship From USA CA

I was initially delighted when upon landing in Shanghai, the SIM card connected to China Unicom and I could enjoy Google, Facebook, Youtube as advertised in my first couple of days in the city. The trouble started when I moved inland to Wuxi. The next day, the SIM card failed to get internet access although one could see that it was still actually connected to Unicom. Together with a local colleague, we went to the Unicom office to try and solve this issue, only to be told that the pre-paid card was limited to Shanghai and could not be used once we move to a different city (I am not sure that is the real reason it failed to function). Apparently the rules in China about pre-paid cards from outside of the Middle Kingdom have changed over the last one year. So I had to throw this card away, and obtain a local card (with great difficulty) with no access to Google, Facebook, or Youtube.

It is the same as any SIM card sold in China. I can't access Gmail, Facebook as advertised, extremely disappointed. I am using a Galaxy S8 and I had to enter the APN as provided to get the data plan to function at all. Keep in mind also that this is just for data access, you won't get a phone number or be able to make phone calls.
