Prepaid card roaming in China?

Hello,
I have a telia pre-paid card. I plan a travel to China. However, I found that Telia did not support prepaid card to use in China. It cannot even receive any SMSs. This is annoying. I am afraid I would need to receive some SMSs verification code during the time I am in China. What should I do? Any work around?

From what I've read it should work if it's registered. But double check with customer support. If you don't have a swedish personalnumber their site said that you could get help in a Telia store.

EDIT: sorry, looked a bit further and seems it doesn't work..
You could temporary switch to a mobile plan?

I can switch to mobile plan and switch back? I still don't get it why the price could be such different between subscription and pre-paid?

I am not sure if its to any help for you...

I used this site to find options for simcard when i was traveling in asia during this spring. For all the countries l visited the site presented accurate and up to date information.

But indeed it seems to be a bit complicated...

Also i feel its a bit like a x/y problem... What are you really trying to do? What are these SMS varifications codes? Could you use another way? Bankid? Microsoft Authenticator app?

@CaptainYan: Yeah, should be no problem to switch, it's one month cancellation on the mobile plan. I dunno, not a fan of Telia's pricing, I've usually used halebop, they are owned by Telia but got better prices.

Actually, Telia's pre-paid card after registered, it could work in the EU area and some other non-EU countries including US.

Thanks. You are right. Maybe I think too much. After checking my sms history, I only has Google code and microsoft code. Those are when I trying to change something. It is not a big deal and I have bankID available.

It is kind of strange... If you hold a Chinese sim card and travel in Europe, the roaming fee is unbelievably cheap....
