Our Dual Rental Packages

Cellular Abroad welcomes the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. Being the number one US distributor for China Mobile, the official communications partner of the Beijing Olympics gives us the opportunity to offer all the athletes, family members, coaches, spectators and media members’ Chinese international cellular service. Having just completed providing the US Special Olympics with their Chinese phone service in September of 2007 we look forward to bridging the great communication divide for all this summer’s attendees.

By using any of our dual cell phone rental packages, you get all the benefits of our single-phone package but at a substantial savings. If there are two or more people traveling in your group and you want the added convenience of staying in touch with each other, our dual cell phone package is for you! They are also a great way for students to save extra money on study-abroad programs or other travel groups. Simply contact a fellow traveler and let him or her know about our great cell phone deals and order a dual rental package together!

All dual cell phone rentals include 2 of the following:

• A GSM cellular phone with a battery, fully charged and ready to go
• International plug adapters
• International 110-220 volt charger
• Phone box and User Guide
• Return ship label (We encourage you to re-use your original ship box.)

If you receive your cellular rental missing any of the listed items, please contact us immediately.

Together with your cellular phone rental, you will receive 2 China SIM cards. The SIM cards are yours to keep. They are priced at $69.00 each and offer:

• Domestic rates as low as approximately $0.10 per minute
• Calls back to the US and Canada as little as $0.47 per minute.
• A China SIM card and cell phone number
• Complete with initial airtime worth RMB 150 yuan ($18)—that's about 38 minutes of outgoing calls back to the US (w/IP dialing) or 100 minutes of received calls or of local dialing within China.
• Easily add more call credits by phone and have more added automatically when your balance is down to $3.
• No yearly contract, monthly charges or credit check
• Very affordable rates from the US for those calling your China cell number with Gorilla Mobile—only 5 cents per minute!
• Note: This SIM doesn't work in Hong Kong. If needed, you can purchase a supplemental Hong Kong SIM or go with the China-Hong Kong Rental Package. The latter provides you with a rental phone with local service in both countries.

Please visit our China Pre-Paid SIM Card page for further information including exact rates.

Important FAQs for Rentals

• When do I order?
  You can order as far in advance as you like - even months prior to your departure. We will not ship your rental until the appropriate date in order for you to receive it in time for your departure. Rentals are typically shipped FedEx 2-Day service, unless faster service is required.
• What is the latest I can order a rental phone?
  Although it's not recommended to place your order at the last minute, you can order up to one business day prior to your departure as long as you call in prior to 4pm Pacific Time. Even if you are leaving early in the morning, we can usually get your phone to you. Please call our 800 number (rather than order via the web) in order to confirm that we can get you your cell phone rental on time. Please take into account that bad weather can sometimes delay FedEx shipments. Cellular Abroad cannot refund the price of priority shipping for orders placed the day before departure if the package arrives late due to the weather.
• When do I get the phone?
  You will receive your cell phone rental a day or two prior to your departure.
• Does the cell phone come charged?
  Yes it does. You need only insert the SIM chip into the rental phone's SIM card slot, which is easily done. (Please let us know if you would like for us to do this for you.)
• What happens if I cancel?
  As long as your cell phone rental has not been shipped, you will only be charged the reserve fee ($25 per phone). In the case that your rental has been sent out, you are only responsible for a one week rental plus the shipping.
• When do I get charged for my cell phone rental?
  You will be charged upon checkout for the full security deposit. Please see our Rental Agreement
• What will the rates be for people calling me from the US?
  That depends on the international long distance rates charged by their long distance company.  We recommend a company called Gorilla Mobile for those calls because they have low rates internationally and their service can even be used from a US cell phone.  Tell Gorilla Mobile you were referred by Cellular Abroad or enter our promo code CELLAB1 at www.gorillamobile.com and they will give you $5 in free call credit to start plus they'll waive your startup fee!  Gorilla Mobile’s phone number is 1-800-881-3004.
• Does Cellular Abroad offer insurance against loss or damage?
  No, we do not, and this is why. Technically, you are purchasing the phone from Cellular Abroad and then we are buying it back from you. The vast majority of credit card companies offer their own insurance against loss or damage for purchases, but usually not for rentals. Therefore, and given this premise, you are already covered for accidental loss or damage...at no extra charge!

I personally have made sure that the solution for China that Cellular Abroad offers is the best possible cellular solution for the business professional or the tourist traveling to China. If you do not find this to be the case, I want to know about it! Sebastian Harrison, President, Cellular Abroad

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 Talk Abroad™ rental that is convenient for travel to multiple countries. (This option is useful for those wanting a single number for use in multiple countries and who will be making more calls back home than locally.)
