Tianjin GPRS

I had a paper with all the rates on it, but cannot find it at the moment. Basically, it was based on time and not data. The shop was selling USB and other cards the replacement for PCMCIA, whatever that was called. They had an unlimited rate for I think 2000 RMB per month. The page also indicated that lesser such plans would have the bulk of the time online available in Tianjin ie 40 hours, and 10 outside of Tianjin. I'll fetch that paper next time I'm in the computer shop.

There was some unlimited GPRS service that I saw advertised in a used cell phone market and it seemed to be about 50 RMB per month. I have no idea other than that.

What does GPRS Connection not available mean? I have a Nokia 6010 . It says GPRS connection not available.. How do you fix that? It is networked with Cellular One.

Not sure - but if you are using China Mobile you need to set the access point to "cmnet". There is no username or password.

By the way, as for pricing, China Mobile (Liaoning) offer a variety of GPRS tariffs for example 100RMB/mth for 2GB limit which is more than enough considering the low speed.

My China Mobile connection is some prepaid arrangement - I only pay 20RMB for 150MB - that's all I need right now.

By the way if you have a similar account and do not know how much $$$ is left before they shut you down, just send an SMS to 10086 and in the message put the number "119" and then send another one to 10086 "113". This gives you how much voice $$$ and the data quantity you have used, and how much is left.

At least that is how it works in Dalian (and I used it in Shanghai/Hangzhou/Shenzhen) and it seemed to work.
