Hey guys,
My friend in the US plans to come over, his own phone does not have roaming. He is not the smartest guy around. He needs to get a prepaid SIM card in case someone calls him.
Does anyone ...
I was planning to use my own ATT phone number with an International Rate Plan. Even with the International Rate Plan for China, Macau and HK, it is expensive. Later, I changed my mind. I had the phone for 1 year and they unlocked it for free. After unlocking it, I was able to use any other carrier, ie China Mobile.
So, it would be way cheaper if your friend got a sim card from HK or China instead of getting a prepaid SIM or International plan in the USA.
Note your phone has to be GSM, unlocked, and a least a tri-band to be able to work in China or HK. Only ATT and T-Mobile have GSM.
