China->US/Canada $5.8
All in HK$.
One issue I have is that I cannot just buy a regular mainland China Mobile recharge card to top up the account while in China. Have to do it in HK, or use a HK issued recharge card. Online is okay.
There is one line in my quote (super roaming prepaid) that appears to give me better rates than yours:
"24-hour Local Flat Rate $0.1/min"
Another new twist: I will also go to Taiwan for a week. Also, I am heading to China first, and will stay there for 2 weeks before heading to other countries, eventually getting to HK for a week and then returning to China for a week. Any idea if there is a similar card I can get from the mainland? (Shanghai)?
