I will drop the plan now -- until next trip -- and go back to the pay as u go plan, because the phone is only for travel.
I think there is an initiation fee when you start a new plan, which makes changes more costly. Only regrets? I had a very sweet number-- hate to lose it!
Was the Shenzhen coverage 2G via China Mobile?
Could you swap the phone line to a data only plan? Simple Choice 500 MB monthly tablet plan does offer international data and sms.
