| Post subject: SIM Lock and Recharge Cards |
Is it customary to pay full face value for recharge cards? I'm paying about 50% of face value for IP cards. Also, can anyone recommend a mobile phone dealer or outlet where I can get my existing UK mobile unlocked for use with a local sim card? Is one local provider better or cheaper than another - China Telecom or China Unicom? |

I forgot the company names, but for CMCC ones there is not much discount for mobile best price i paid is 98 for 100 kuai value. The other company however can give better price 95 for 100 kuai value. For IP cards you should only pay 30-40% of face value. The most expensive IP card is 17908, average price 37 kuai other brands like CNC or Railcom shouldnt cost more than 33 kuai. |
