When I was in China, I saw some nice-looking cell phone (such as Lenovo) selling for 1000 RMB with built-in Wifi. I am wondering if bring the Chinese cell phone back to the States and put in a T-mobile or Verizon SIM card, can I use it here in the States? I can also do the opposite: buy a cell phone in the United States, and put in a Chinese SIM card when I arrive at China. But many cell phones sold in the States (under $150) do not have Chinese language display, unless I buy an expensive cell phone here such as iphone 5s. I am back and forth between US and China, would like to stay with one cell phone if possible. Anyone with experience or knowledge? Thanks -
Hey everybody, I'm going to China in March. I have an LG Spectrum through Verizon. As far as I know, it has the capability to be used outside of the US. Will this apply to China? Will I be able to use my web sevice through my phone while in China? Thanks, Todd

ID cards needed to buy telephone service This part I do not agree with. Seems like more spam would be created: ""We want to fully implement the real-name system, because it's good for us in marketing terms if we have more information about our customers, like their ages and professions," said Li Yun, an employee at China Telecom's Beijing branch."

ChunMei's going back to China for a month and a half in May, and wants to have a phone she can use to make local calls while she's there. We're currently under contract with T-Mobile, and when she was last in China she learned that the SIMM card slot T-Mobile uses won't take whatever they use for SIMM card format in China. She want me to buy her an $300 unlocked Blackberry for six weeks of usewhile she's there. Since the cards are incompatable with our current phone carrier she can't use it here when she comes back. I still have a year before our T-Mobile contract expires, so changing US phone carriers isn't an option. Anybody got any advice?

If you google China sim card, many places come up that say you can buy a card from them and still get calls on your local (USA) number. Anyone ever use these? Or what is the best way to have text msging and internet access while in China. Buy a card once we get there or buy one of these? http://www.brightroam.com/China-SIM-Card-P31C0.aspx?source=p&gclid=CIqyxeHe_q8CFSoZQgod60iTUg http://www.holidayphone.com/payg-prepaid-sim-card-china.html?gclid=COqpseve_q8CFXQeQgodt1DlUA http://www.cellularabroad.com/packages-china.html?gclid=CI-Ooffe_q8CFQxshwodM2Flqg I have spoken to Verizon and they said either phone we have (Razor Maxx or the Thunderbolt) would work on Chinese networks.

My soon to be wife brought her cell phone to the States because she really likes it and wanted to use it here. I have Verizon and wanted to add her to my plan. I wanted to buy her a Verizon SIM card for her phone, but was told that Verizon SIM cards only fit Verizon phones. So, I'm not sure where to go next. She likes her phone and doesn't want a new phone, so I'd like to do everything I can to make hers work in the US. Should I consider jumping to another company that can support her phone with an US SIM card? suggestions?

If anybody has purchased/rented cell phones or SIM cards for use while vacationing in China - can you please tell me the best and cheapest way to do it? I see they can be rented/purchased on the internet here before you go. And other option is to do this at the airport of entry into China. What is the easiest and/or cheapest way to do this? Thanks, m-coon -
I know this has probably been addressed, but i need a quick assurance. James leaves for china Wednesday and will take his iphone. I've heard horror stories about charges on these once they're used there. He says he's unlocked it and will remove it's Sim card once he leaves chicago and will buy a Sim when he gets to China. My Question is: Am I safe from the thousands of dollars of charges some people have incurred while using an iphone in China? I haven't kept up with Cell phone technology and he assures me it's safe. Anyone try this with an iphone in China? thanks, Hank

Hi, I don't know if this is the right area for this question but.. Has anyone purchased a cell phone in the US that can read/write Chinese characters? I was thinking about this recently as my fiance loves to TEXT with her family. Each txt costs a few cents so maybe that trend will go down when she arrives. I currently have a blackberry that does just "ok" with reading Chinese txt but still cannot enter txt. I was even thinking about buying a chinese phone and pop in a T-mobile sim card. Anyone else go through this?
