In case you do see your fund is deducted, please write to us, we will make sure it’s refunded or you can simply apply a chargeback to your bank.

Just send text "101" to 10010 for airtime balance or send text "2082" to 10010 for data balance. These texts are free of charge.

Balance cannot change into data directly, you have to refill data on www.mychinaunicom.com, but if your SIM card was not bought from www.mychinaunicom.com or LVYCOM and its channels, it will not allow you to refill data directly.
