    Hi All,

    I just found out one of the best things for my daily China life. I have found that my China mobile account from Hong Kong can access the international internet without going through the China firewall when in China. Maybe this is not news to some here, but I use my phone as my GPS unit and now I can use google maps during my rides.

    The roaming is not charged until you use 5 GB or over a month for one of the packages. It found this very useful as I can use my phone to quickly do google searches.

    Just wanted to share.

    Nice one Hok . Do you have any idea why this works? I live in the countryside and the fashions are very countryside here. As an example I tried to buy some pointy shoes here today and do you think I could find any really pointy footwear! My god, its like nobody here ever saw a copy of GQ. I despair of fashion in the west . I think I will have to just move to one of those capitals like Yantai or maybe even a whole another country like Taiwan or those little islands with the glasshouses. I'm not entirely sure though do they have shoe stores?Still though as long as the 4g is humming it's all good right?
    Happy new mooncake week anyway.

    IT seems that since the phone is roaming so it uses the network proxy in Hong kong... but not 100% sure. However I asked the customer service rep and he said probably won't last forever. but I won't complain.

    Sorry can't help you with pointy shoes I get mine in HK also.

    Haha.
