Haven't used an int'l SIM in 2 or 3 years -
10-01-2013, 15:59
Will be in China for 3 weeks as a tourist in April. For the past couple years I have found using T-Mobile's (U.S.) UMA wifi calling to be quite adequate since wifi was quite prevalent wherever we went overseas the past few years
This time I thought I'd look into an int'l SIM. Piranha seems to be the only provider to provide reasonable rates. Many charge over $1/min. Piranha charges 32 cents/min. for outgoing to U.S. and 19 cents/min. incoming. Question, has anyone here used them in China? The fact they are so much cheaper makes me wonder if I am missing something. The reviews, here, seem quite good. They make use of both carriers in China.
I read a review of China's own prepaids. Excellent and detailed, posting on the "Asia" forum here. Sounds almost impossible for a foreign traveler to make real use of it.
Any China travelers here? Is wifi easily found? Anyone use Piranha or another SIM there?
Thanks.
Make use of T-M's UMA/wifi free calling from any place in the world with access to wifi. I use an LG G6, wife an S7)
A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20ยข/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries.
My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.
