Q: Cell Phones & Skype
What does cell phone service cost? How about calling to the USA? Is skype to skype available or is it "harmonized"?
Skype is available, cell phone call is cheap, your service provider will give you a code to use when you call to the USA>
Be sure to purchase a VPN if you want to acess facebook or YouTube
You can definitely use Skype here in China. No problems with that. Also, cell phone coverage is really cheap. Just get a sim card and add money every so often. However, It is kind of expensive if you use your phone in China to call the States (if you want this option you have to buy your sim card at a China Mobile or Telecom and tell them you want to be able to call internationally), so I would just stick to Skype. If you purchase credit on Skype it's way cheaper to call landlines and phones anywhere in the world.
