Technical Question re: using data SIM card

powerlifter · 27-03-2013, 14:15

Go to www. Flyertalk.com and go to the forum section. look for Asia. You will see China. Hit the search function and put in China sim card and a load of information comes up. There is a 9 page thread about where to buy sim cards about four articles down. It is old,but still has good information on where to buy. Have you looked at peoples sim card and Unicom sim card. It always shows up in English on my computer. I have had several trips planed but they have always fallen through. Hope this helps.

Mr. Lifter -
Any info before 2011 would seem to be obsolete, at least in regards to data. That's why the data info on the forum under "China" here is obsolete. What happened was that China Unicom established a countrywide 3G network. I don't think the GPRS data cards as shown here even exist anymore. I'll try and supply more info when we return the end of April and forward it on to Effendi
