Problem to solve:
Visiting China for a short period of time, and GPRS is critically important.
Solution
After you arrive in China (don't need to worry about it. There are soooo many sellers about the SIM card at airport or at hotel), get a Shenzhouxing pre-paid SIM card from China Mobile. With the card, you have immediate access of GPRS (nothing is needed). However, be very cautious that the default plan is very expensive.
Check the GPRS Package from China Mobile, and choose one that is good for you. I would recommend the 20 RMB for 50M traffic plan. Then call 10086 and ask the operator to adopt the plan for you.
Then enjoy your GPRS!

How is CMCC customer service if a foreigner calls in there? Can we get GPRS plan activated using English or should we learn to ask it in Chinese?

Posted by: Jian Shuo Wang (external link) on June 21, 2007 11:42 PMHi. Thank you very much for your precious info.
When did Shenzhouxing SIM Card start to support GPRS? On many web sites people are saying that GPRS is not available on Shenzhouxing SIM Card.
Actually I myself bought Shenzhouxing SIM Card in March this year and at that time data communication was not supported. Any idea?

Posted by: Steve on January 23, 2008 5:39 PMCan you tell me which package / mobile operator has the best rate (per minute) to call in any number in Shanghai?
Is there any mobile operator not charging for phone calls received from oversees?
Thanks
Posted by: Laurent on January 30, 2008 1:43 PMHi Jianshuo,
I am making a phone call from Thailand to my friend in Shanghai. How much will he pay to receive phone call in Shanghai? Only local fee? Could you please confirm? Thanks!
Posted by: 曼谷华人 on March 31, 2008 12:45 PMHe only need to pay the local fee (if he is using a mobile phone), or don't need to pay anything if they are using a fixed line phone.
