We craft a seamless, personalized welcome, expertly unlocking Shanghai with custom activations.
The Shanghai Phone Swap
We handle the complexity of securing
your mandatory local Chinese phone number. We escort you to the right
carrier store, manage the passport verification, and ensure you walk
out with a fully activated SIM.
You get the local number you need
without the language barrier or administrative headache.
Go-Live
We ensure your essential connection tools (like your VPN and Didi) are correctly configured and working reliably on the local network.
Once our Activation Service is complete, you will know you can communicate, travel, and pay for anything immediately.
Cashless Confidence
Shanghai is cashless, and payment failure is a massive roadblock. We guide you through the final, technical linking of your international cards to both WeChat Pay and Alipay. Crucially, we conduct
a live test payment to guarantee your mobile wallets are verified and functioning perfectly before we conclude the process.
Creative Launchpad
Providing the specialized local insights and guidance on the resources needed to participate in Shanghai’s dynamic creative and cultural environment.
Our mission is to ensure your Shanghai adventure begins effortlessly, transforming the big move into a smooth, confident launch so you can focus 100% on your success.
