#1 Post at 20-7-2010 16:43  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Prepaid Sim Cards Hey Bros.. I'm leaving for HK in about 1.5hours to go to the airport...flight set to take off in about 6 hours. Just curious as to which telecommunications provider has the best prepaid sims in terms of bang for the buck... As I am planning to stay in HK I will eventually join a monthly plan, but I'm waiting for the Iphone4...so I need a sim for the time being... Thanks in advance for your advice! Also..I was wondering if I could get data packages on prepaid sims?

You 1 get one HK and china in 1 sim card. You definitely need one. The iphone only good for u in HK....so purchase that package separately. Retired from pussy arena….Uncle 9

#10 Post at 21-7-2010 04:39  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L from experience bb works but not fully, no BIS or BES.  You can still use google mail, google maps and other 3rd party apps but not the stuff that comes from the bb server.  on a previous trip I had an iPhone with me and used a 3 data sim which worked fully as normal, pity that normal is about 7 hours hours battery life max (sometimes less).  I think China mobile is 2 g only which is slower but if you turn 3g off on the iphone it might actually last most of the day with out being charged. as you can tell, I love the iPhone interface and apps, hate the fucking useless battery and signal.

#11 Post at 21-7-2010 20:02  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L So if you have an old iPhone you can buy a local sim that will fit and also get Internet and there is either 2g or 3g. And so the phone will work and due to Internet can get emails etc.  Is it as simple as that.

Guess i made it in there just under the cut since when i got mine a month ago. it was still "people's. No wonder they were able to do the "china mobile 2 numbers one sim" kind of thing for when you cross into China. That way it cuts down on roaming fees. It was a genious idea.!!

Any experience with speed/connectivity of the mobile internet with that provider?

Although I don't approve of raising old threads like this, I do think that this question comes up SOOOOO often that there should be a sticky guide to phone SIMs in HK/Macau/China. And before anyone asks me to write it... no.
