Introduction
A China Prepaid SIM Card, together with an unlocked GSM cell phone will allow you not only to have a local cell phone number for China but also pay local rates - and without a contract. For your next trip to China, make sure to purchase a prepaid SIM card.
If you are going to need a phone in Hong Kong as well, this SIM card will roam automatically, and provide you with a Hong Kong-based phone number to supplement the China phone number.

Not only are the rates the best possible rates to make and receive phone calls in China but, since this is a Chinese carrier and no roaming is involved, the service quality is also the most reliable. This is one case where what you get for far exceeds what you pay for!

Multi-Country Travel
 You can also purchase other SIM cards as well for other countries to where you may be traveling. (This option is good for those planning on doing a lot of local calling.) We also offer an international roaming National Geographic Talk Abroad™ SIM Card that is convenient for travel to multiple countries.
