Buying a phone card in China? |
|
|
I need to call the US once I'm in China. The hotels tell me if I use their phone, it will cost about $1/minute. How do I go about trying to buy a phone card within China to use on the hotel phone to
call US cheaper? Where do you find these? Is it worth trying to buy a cell phone that is compatible with China to call the US?
Thanks! |

Actually, phone cards with ENGLISH instructions are readily available in China. In fact, the instructions are in both English and Chinese on back. Rates for calls back to US are very cheap. Interestingly, they were even on sale in the gift shop of the Hilton in Shanghai where the hotel could make a ton of money on calls. They come in a variety of denominations. Work by calling a special number a using the PIN on the card itself. Don't worry, you'll have no trouble finding them. |
