Taking my iphone 4s to China next month (Hong Kong, Beijing and Taiwan). Looking to get a SIM card before leaving the states that can be used in all 3 itineraries and of course with good (or at least decent) rates. Thanks!

A little bit OT - make sure your iPhone has to be unlocked (Factory or Street) before you can use it.

China has a HK/China SIM card and has some excellent roaming deals for Taiwan.

Mainland China is different of course than Hong Kong or Taiwan. In Mainland China, I use China Mobile in my iPhone and China Unicom in my iPad. It depends on the city which is better. It's easier than India to get a SIM but not as easy as a place like the Phillipines. In Hong Kong, I use 3. It's easier to get separate SIMs for HK and Mainland China

Unicom is better than Mobile for most (3g) phones.
