Can anyone recommend a pay as you go SIM card that I can put in my unlocked Tri-band phone.
I will need to buy one in Hong Kong, but would need it to work (cheaply) all throughout main land China.
A mobile company name or a store where I can get a good one would be great.
Thanks for your help.

If you want one that works both in Hong Kong and the mainland, be very careful what you buy. Alot of the basic cards (Sunday, Smartone, People's) that you can get from 7-11 will only work in Hong Kong, and if they do work in the mainland will have expensive roaming charges.

Therefore, I advise you to go to the actual sales shops of the companies and tell them exactly what you require.
