Yes. Use the data-only SIM to place and track your order, and a reachable phone number for delivery calls. The data SIM provides the internet connection; your Canadian line or a mainland China line provides regular calls and texts. Before your first order, set up the number for sign-in and the contact number for the delivery.
Sign in, then add the delivery contact
Start with the account you’ll use to order. If you already have one, keep access to the number that receives its text verification codes. For a new account, choose an accepted country code and a number on which you can receive the code.
At checkout, enter the recipient’s phone number in the delivery details. Use an accepted number that you or the person receiving the parcel can answer. If the form requires a mainland China number, enter a local contact number and arrange for that person to take the delivery call.
Make it easy for the driver to find you
For example, a traveller in Shanghai orders a replacement laptop charger to a shared office with two entrances. They add the office name, floor and entrance to the address, and leave a phone number they can answer. When the driver calls to ask which door to use, they can give directions while following the order on their data connection.
Before delivery, keep the contact line switched on and ready to receive calls in China. If someone else is receiving the parcel, send them the order details so they know what to expect.
If you expect regular deliveries and want to take the calls yourself on a mainland number, the iTalkBB China SIM includes one on a physical SIM. You can complete the identity check at an iTalkBB store in Canada before your trip. The Canadian registration guide explains what to bring.
