I’m going to go on a limb and guess that it’s more to do with your internet connection than Freedur. You should be corresponding with their support if you have problems with the service though, since there isn’t much I can do for you but tell you that I don’t have any issues. Good luck.

I got Freedur after reading this review. It couldn’t possibly be any slower. I have to switch between locations frequently because it just stops at 0 and does nothing. Videos don’t stream at all and usually I have to wait for it to fully load first. I can do some simple browsing but I can’t have too many windows open at once. It’s been hell. My buddy has ExpressVPN and I’ll see how that goes. Seems to work better. Astrill would be my next try.

Hi Ken,

You shouldn’t have any issue with your phone working in China. I’m pretty sure it will have 100% functionality, as far as I’m aware. You might have to take it to a computer market in Chengdu to have the phone unlocked, in order for it to support a cell network other than T-Mobile. It’s a quick and cheap process that will cost you pocket change.

Good luck!

Soon, there will be more Google Android phones in the U.S. than iPhones (and in China too). I own one of the latest ones with T-Mobile (I live in SoCal). My wife and I will be arriving in Chengdu this October and I was wondering what to expect from my U.S. Android phone with a Chinese sim-card in it. I did learn that as of a few days ago, the Chinese Gov. has made it law for all persons buying sim cards to register with proper I.D., so they can record it. That part in not my issue, but having a functional smart phone in China is. Will I be able to use many of my phone’s apps and functions there in China? I do plain on purchasing VPNinji, which is a VPN service. They are suppose to work well with Androids & iPhones. Any thoughts on the use of my smart phone there would be very helpful? Htanks in advance!

I’m not sure, but it appears to be down for the time being. I sent an inquiry to the people in charge and I’ll leave a comment here as soon as I know what’s going on.

Hi Guys,

I just tried to register for Freedur, but I am not able to visit the freedur homepage.

Is it blocked from China?

Does somebody has another idea to get Freedur?

Thx for your efforts

Hey Coffee-

Yeah, they raised the price on Freedur considerably. But, if you use the “chengduliving” checkout code, you’ll get 50% off.

I still use Freedur everyday.

Freedur is way expensive now! I have no idea why!!

Skydur now doesn’t accept new members, and I have trouble extending my account! which was working great ..

Astrill seems good! but the payment options are limited! I cant use my credit card! I have to use CASHU or ALERTPAY or other things I never heard of.

Now, I’m using internet with restriction! which made me hate internet ..

officially, breaking up with internet in China ..

Thanks Charlie
