[quote=APAULT,319220]I assume Baron's dollar price was in HK dollars, so about 6 pounds UK.  The mainland is similar.  You can buy a sim from  about 70rmb with 50 rmb of calls, the more expensive prices are for 'good numbers' - what a waste!  The plans usu incl plans to have no monthly fee and pay higher prices, through to high monthly fees and no or very low charges.  I was paying 20 rmb a month to get moderate priced calls and loads of free sms.  Watch out for plans where you have to pay for incoming calls too!  If you run out of credit, you can usu receive sms, but that's all. You can run into trouble in some provinces.  Hebei requires you show an id and some places only accept national ids.  Each province is tun separately.  Also, you can hit trouble tring to top up in an mobile phone office.  Instead buy a card from a shop (incl 7/11).  There are only 3 companies in the north, 2 in the south.  I would suggest using China Mobile - I have used them all the time, many numbers as I come and go.[/quote]
