Other rates
Roaming
While roaming, you’re simply billed for
airtime and long-distance charges. Here’s how it works:
Calling Charges While Roaming
| Making a local call |
Airtime only |
| Making a long-distance call |
Airtime + long-distance charges |
| Receiving a call (local or
long-distance) |
Airtime + long-distance charges |
Because of high roaming rates, please
choose the city where you want to use your phone appropriately to minimize
the incoming long distance charges.
Long distance
Domestic
Outgoing long distance is
additional 40c/min for the first 5 min, and then additional 20c/ min from
the 6th minute on. You can avoid this high rate using our VOIP service from your
cell phone.
International
Outgoing international rates
are very high - $1.5/min and above. You can avoid this high rate using our
VOIP service from your cell phone for about 3-4c/min to many countries,
including Canada, Taiwan, USA, HK and China.
SMS
Free to receive. To
send, 15c/sms domestic, and 20c/sms international. Support for Chinese
SMS is not very robust.
