Q: 10 RMB a month for unlimited incoming calls - worth it?

I just arrived here and my company provided me with a SIM card and a contract with China mobile, whereby I get deducted 10 RMB every month and pay nothing extra on all incoming calls.

I was wondering if that's worth it or not. I'll have a few people calling me here in China.

They also didn't tell me if that applied to international calls or not.

If I want to get rid of this, I assume I have to call 13800138000?

Maybe from your point of view now it is not important or necessary, but I am sure that your company gave it to you so they could get in touch with you as they need it, and canceling it may not be a good idea in their eyes.  For 10 Rmb per month, roughly $ 1.50 US dollars, or the price of two beers, why worry ?. 

In regards to making international calls, with a China Mobile SIM Card all you will need to do is to dial 12593, then the country code (001 for USA), then the area code and the phone number wanted, wait for the call to go thru and when you get a reply then talk.  The cost is right under 1 Rmb per minute.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
