#1 Post at 10-9-2011 04:54  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Best ROAMING Cell Service in HK? A previous thread: http://forum.sex141.com/eforum/v ... &extra=page%3D1 talked about cell service for pre-paid sims and such, and in the past I've used PCCW and CSL and they both seemed about the same. I get a prepaid HK sim for my hobby phone, so no issue there, but my work phone now lights up with a dozen cell services to chose from when I land in HK.  Does anybody know which service is the best, cost wise for someone letting their phone roam in HK (data and voice?)  I've tried to decipher this by using a different service on my trips to HK, but I'm not there regularly enough and, frankly, my phone bill is impossible to read.  The last two times I tried PCCW on one trip and then CSL and both times my phone hit $1,000 in just a couple of days. Any knowledge from the frequent travelers would be appreciated. I didn't do it.  Really I didn't. The Butler

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that's efficient for incoming calls.  Say for instance I divert a U.S. number to a local sim, then my U.S. number will be charged the cost ofa call to HK anyway, so I'm not saving any money and I might as well just pick up my U.S. phone and answer.  Now one can call out on a local sim and save a lot on the international call (rather than call on a U.S. cell phone in Hong Kong), but then you're using a number no one will recognize and will constantly get screened out. I need to use my foreign cell phone when I'm in HK, and it used to not give me a choice of local carrier, but now it lights up with a ton of choices.  It would be useful to know which carrier to roam on without having to experiment with $1,000 bills on each. I didn't do it.  Really I didn't. The Butler

#6 Post at 10-9-2011 14:09  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #1 TheButler's post i put a voice message on my regular phone before leaving home (usually at airport). "Hi, this is Tony Toro. I will be in HK from September 10 - 15th. During this time I will be unable to access voice mail messages.If you need to talk to me, please call the following HK number... 852 **** ****. Thanks for calling". The number I give is my regular HK number. The SIM card I keep in my punting phone. Benefits: No backing up of 50 calls with you paying roaming charges. You essentially put your work phone "to sleep" comfortable with the knowledge that anyone urgently wanting to call you will just call your HK number. When I return home, whilst at the airport, punting phone goes off and new message put on my regular phone's voice mail... almost like it "never happened"... Bar Punting in HKG?

I didn't do it.  Really I didn't. The Butler
