[quote=RSANCHEZ ,35572]In some other countries you can "rent a phone" at the airports, but I am not sure if you can do it in China. Anyway, in Shanghai you can buy a phone (new) for RMB350, that's about US$45. This is the cheapest, so this kind of phone doesn't have any multimedia, mp3 or anything, you just be able to call and use sms messages. Also you might need to buy a SIM card for the phone, this can be an extra RMB40 (US$5). If you want to call overseas you can buy a calling card (IP Card) for RMB28 (US$3.6 Face Value RMB100, be careful!), I think this will give around 25-30 minutes to call the US.There are 2 main mobile phone companies in China: China Mobile and China Unicom. Most of the cell phones use the GSM standard (Europe) but I think you can find some phones available from China Unicom that use CDMA (US standard). Anyway, I am not really sure if later it will work in the US.Hope this was helpful to you.[/quote]
