Q: Friends coming to Beijing - can they buy disposable phones?

Some friends are coming to see me and I was wondering what's the best way for them to call me if they need to during the day, as I'll be working during the week. Do disposable phones exist? Are they reliable? What's the best option here?

I don't think phone cards would be all that great.

I have never seen disposable phones here, but that does not mean they do not exist.  When I was visiting China, and not living here I would bring my Motorola cell phone with me.  I would remove the US SIM card and the first tine had a fellow at a phone shop unlock it for me (I paid 75 Rmb for that).  Then he sold me a local SIM card and nstalled it, and I prepid 100 Rmb for a number of minutes of use service (sorry, do not recall).  When I left, I just swapped SIM cards and my phone worked back home without a problem.

From then on, everytime I came to China I would do the same, until I moved here and now have a permannet local SIM card in it.
