(Note - FWIW - the U.S. has a similar logic that it is a big trouble when you want postpaid service without SSN.)
The easiest way - without the dual number SIM - is to get an actual Chinese SIM. They are available, at least in the Mainland. The problem is if you can communicate with them.
Oh, getting a mainland SIM isn't an issue. That's actually easier for me to do. Using a VPN on mobile data is annoying though.
Alright, new idea. Even though they don't sell dual number prepaid SIM cards, is it possible to convert a HK number only cross border SIM into a dual number SIM by visiting a retail location in HK and asking for the relevant value added service (and possibly paying an additional administrative fee of HK$18/month)?
