"We were very happy with our rental phone. The calls we made were very clear and we had no problems getting through to the US. Also it helped my husband solve a medical problem - he was able to contact a colleague in the US about a medical problem one of our fellow passengers had in the middle of our Yangzi river trip. Thanks again and we will be in touch when we next need to rent a phone. " LA
