hakkaboy Posted January 17, 2006 at 02:28 PM Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 at 02:28 PM I have just put a Chinese Shenzhouxing SIM card into my phone. The phone is Motorola and the phone company is China Mobile. The only thing I am not sure about is whether I will be charged for calls that I receive as well as calls that I make. How can I found out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanMichiel Posted January 17, 2006 at 02:37 PM Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 at 02:37 PM I'm curious what the calling/receiving rates are for calling using a chinese operator inside china (mobile to landline and mobile to mobile). Are there differences between prepaid and subscription rates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenpv Posted January 17, 2006 at 04:20 PM Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 at 04:20 PM check here : http://www.yn.chinamobile.com/html/index.jsp It is economical to use 神州行 if you prefer to send instant messages more often than to make/receive a call. Charging Criteria: Domestic Call: 直接拨打0.6元/分钟＋0.07元/6秒（港、澳、台地区0.20元/6秒），接听0.6元/分钟 17951直拨0.6元/分钟＋0.3元/分钟＝0.9元/分钟 12593直拨0.49元/分钟 Local Call: 神州行：标准卡拨打和接听均0.60元/分钟； 神州行12593直拨：武汉0.39元/分钟，其它地区0.29元/分钟 (I don't know if 12593 works in other cities ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruiskukka Posted January 18, 2006 at 06:30 AM Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 at 06:30 AM I use Shenzhouxing card too. They charge you for receiving calls. 0.6rmb/min. However, they offer services of receiving calls for free in some certain minutes. Service1: 12RMB/month, 100mins free. Service2: 5RMB/month, 30mins free. How: 1.Send a msg 'SCT100' to 1860, if you want service 1. 2.Send a msg 'SCT30' to 1860, if you want service 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elina Posted January 18, 2006 at 07:43 AM Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 at 07:43 AM Local Call:神州行：标准卡拨打和接听均0.60元/分钟； 神州行12593直拨：武汉0.39元/分钟，其它地区0.29元/分钟 (I don't know if 12593 works in other cities ) It works in Beijing, see this: http://mobile.163.com/05/0920/10/1U39PRN30011179K.html Another economical method: http://www.cq.chinamobile.com/mbOperation/other/szx.jsp 移动亲情卡 四大优势： ● 神州行亲情卡A接听和呼叫亲情号码仅需市话0.3元/分钟；神州行亲情卡B接听和呼叫亲情号码仅需市话0.2元/分钟；神州行亲情卡C接听亲情号码免费，呼叫亲情仅需市话0.2元/分钟。 ● 可选9位亲友设置为亲情号码（手机、座机均可）。 ● 亲情号码可任意变更，每变更一次仅需1元/个。 ● 亲情卡无需入网费、月租费，享受中国移动精品网络支持。 业务办理： 请神州行用户携带有效证件至我公司各营业厅办理 移动亲情卡用户通过营业厅或拨打电话13800138000进行亲情号码的设置/修改。 漫游同神州行资费一致 超出亲情号码范围拨打和接听电话按0.60元/分钟计费 I think 移动亲情卡 and the economical method provided by ruiskukka can not be used at the same time.

venture160 Posted January 19, 2006 at 12:55 PM Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 at 12:55 PM that card is WAYYY to expensive, I use a 131 card, 1/3 to half the price. Also, if you can pick up a zhejiang mobile card. 20 kuai = 1,000 text messages. Its hard to find though, I got it through a Chinese friend on some auction site. Man that has saved me money.

hakkaboy Posted January 20, 2006 at 12:43 PM Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 at 12:43 PM The card may be expensive, but I want to be able to call all over China. Are the cheap cards ones that can only dial within the province?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
