Yes, you got it. They've told me many times they don't accept foreign cards, but it works. ^

I've been to probably 5-6 different 中国移动服务厅 locations in Shanghai, only 1 place seems to work and it only works on 2 of their terminals/stations. The rest do not work. In fact, one works really well. I can't explain it, I've tried and tried at other locations and it all gets rejected.

PM me and I can tell you where. It's a great thing to pay your bills via CC DCC free. ^
