No need to enable international roaming or purchase any roaming packages! This is what makes OnePool special. When you arrive in China, simply make sure:

  1. Data Roaming is enabled—for using mobile data/internet

  2. WiFi Calling is turned on—for making calls and sending texts over WiFi

Your phone will automatically connect to our partner networks, and your data will work automatically.

How do I enable Data Roaming and WiFi Calling?

Enable Data Roaming:

  • iPhone: Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options > Turn on "Data Roaming"

  • Android: Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Turn on "Data Roaming"

Enable WiFi Calling:

  • iPhone: Settings > Phone > WiFi Calling > Turn on "WiFi Calling"

  • Android: Settings > Connections > WiFi Calling > Turn on "WiFi Calling"

When you first enable WiFi Calling, the system may ask you to enter an emergency address—just follow the prompts to complete.

I have an older plan. Do I need a new SIM card?

No need for a new SIM card! If you're already a Panda Mobile customer, the OnePool feature automatically applies to your existing plan using your current SIM card. Just make sure your plan has been upgraded to a OnePool-enabled version. You can log in to https://pandacellular.com user dashboard to check your plan details or contact customer service to confirm your plan includes OnePool.
