SIM Card for Hong kong and China

I am coming to HK in April for a week. I understand from reading the forum that you can buy a prepaid card from any 7/24 store.

But I would be going to China ( Gaungzhou) just for 2 nights. Can brothers here guide me which service provider sim card  to buy so that i can use the same number in HK and China.

Otherwise I will have to take two different Matrix cards for the two countries in India which I want to avoid.

Thanks in advance.


PS..........can someone please delete this as a new post and move it to the chat page. I am not able to do it....

Do you have a dual sim telephone?  Very useful for this type of situation.

You can pick up dual sim phones cheaply in HK and China, although I would say HK is more reliable.

THen you can use 2 sim cards simultaneously. They can receive calls to both numbers and you have 2 keys for dialing out - one for each  number.

Given the time you are here may not be a worthwhile investment but useful if you are planning on returning from time to time.

Do prepaid come with roaming to China too. That would be great. Do you get roaming out of self or you need to activate the facility.

Hey guys,  go to any Circle K and get this:

http://www.peoples.com.hk/p_prepaid_1c2n_en.jsp


Then add the unlimited GPRS data package for one month and you are done.  Just don't use data in China otherwise your 100HKD will be gone within in a minute as the data roaming charges are outragus.

Agree with cp141......

Me just back from HK/China stint.....?

Go to any 7/11 or K store and simply buy the peoples IDD phonecard....no hassles with 2 phones or sims etc... unless your taking your hometown mobile too..

From HK to china..you dont have to do anything. Instant switch to china roaming and good rates for receiving and making calls...

When in HK use that to make also your IDD phonecalls to phone home

Hoping someone can answer some simple questions about the 2#1Sim thing.

I saw a China Mobile logo on the site with the info, can I charge up in the mainland using the cards etc?

Do they also have data plans like the 25m for 5 rmb a month thing?




Another SIM related question...

I will be using a 3G Ipad (mostly in the mainland) China Unicom still the only 3G boat in town that works with the same frequency?
