But a normal tourist will not stay for month, so why should they buy a sim card for ¥480? I think 1GB will be enough for most persons who want to use their smartphones in holiday.
And is the ¥480 SIM Card automatically activated from the first day of use?
I know that you have to activate a gprs package for china mobile before the first day of month to use it. This unicom package seems to be activated immediately.
