China Mobile data
« on: January 15, 2015, 12:11:49 am »

Here's a useful tip for any of you who use China Mobile.  If you want to change your monthly data allowance, send an sms to 10086. In the message, just type the numbers 661. You will get a return message in Chinese detailing current rates:

1. 5元/月 30MB
2. 10元/月 70MB
3. 20元/月 150MB
4. 40元/月 700MB
5. 50元/月 1GB
6. 70元/月 2GB
7. 100元/月 3GB
8. 130元/月 4GB
9. 180元/月 6GB
10. 280元/月 11GB

Then just send a message again containing the number of the plan you want, i.e., 5. Then you will get a return message containing the details of your current allowance and asking you to confirm the change to the new allowance. Then, just send a message with the character 是.

That's it. Your data limit will come into effect from the next month, and you can change again any time you want. To check how much data you've used in the month, send an SMS to 10086 containing the numbers 66.

Are the prices per month or per year? I'm assuming per month. Regardless, those are ridiculously cheap IMHO.

Also, any idea if it matters what speed you're using? As in, as these for 4G LTE or 3G? Or no idea? Does it matter?

是 = shi (pinyin) for those who don't know. Just type 'shi' and it should be one of the first characters to pop up.

Operators are scrambling to transform themselves from being mere access providers to providing content, customization, OTT, and cloud services etc. There are higher value added businesses, and to get people using, they need to provide cheap, ubiquitous access.

Does it work across provinces? Is this for prepaid?
