When Internet is shifting from computer, laptop to mobile, it is critical to find out exactly how China Mobile charges you for GPRS. Here is the guide (sorry for posting it late, since I know many people have asked for this information)
Level 1: No Package
If you have a mobile and you haven't call China Mobile to subscribe to any GPRS package, you are customer of this package. It is the unified fee:
0.03 RMB per 1K of traffic
This is very expensive, as you may calculate. A typical web page is 10K - 100K. That means the shortest page is equal to 1 minute of phone call.
Don't be silly to use this package, but the majority of visitors are using this package.
Level 2: 5 RMB for 10 Megabytes of CMWAP Traffic
This is much better, 1/60 of the first level (or 0.0005 RMB per 1K traffic).
Before I continue, I have to explain about the difference between CMWAP, and CMNET.
For more carriers, there are only one GPRS network - all mobiles access the Internet as if it is a terminal More
It is old news already, but I think it is valuable information to visitors to Shanghai. China Mobile has decreased the price of GPRS. They are offering a package to give unlimited WAP access for 20 RMB per month. Here are the configuration details:
Access Point: CMWAP
Gateway: 10.0.0.172
CMWAP v.s. CMNET
I have been using GPRS from China Mobile for some time but I never really understand the difference between the two AP - cmwap and wmnet. The only thing I know was, to be able to access Internet, for example, from my laptop, or Dopod Smartphone to access Internet website like ebay.com, I have to use cmnet. If I only need to access WAP site, like WAP comment feed for this site, cmwap is enough. CMWap is cheaper - 20 RMB for all-you-can-eat while CMNET is charged by bytes.
You need to answer the question in the configuration section of your mobile.
Now, I understand the situation better.
CMWAP and CMNET are intentionally divided by China Mobile. They are two access points. If More

インターネットはコンピュータ、ラップトップから可動装置移っているとき、への中国の可動装置がGPRSのためのいかに満たすか丁度調べることは重大である。 ガイドはここにある(私が知っているので投稿のためにこの情報を遅く、多くの人々頼んだ残念な)
