I definitely want to get a local SIM card, will there be enough English labeling for me to figure out which one I need at a 7-11? Thanks!

Date: Tue, Jul 30, 2013 12:46 PM Definitely worth buying a local SIM for phone service, mainly because it's so cheap in HK. As long as you have an unlocked GSM phone. You can pick up mobile SIM cards from 7-11 or mobile stores, for as low as HK $38 (US $5). -Andrew Lih Associate professor of journalism USC Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism Email: [email protected] WEB: http://www.andrewlih.com BOOK: The Wikipedia Revolution: http:/www.wikipediarevolution.com PROJECT: Wiki Makes Video http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wiki_Makes_Video On Wed, Jul 31, 2013 at 1:42 AM, Teemeah . <[email protected]>wrote: > Thank you for the info guys! > > By the way, is it worth buying a local sim card for international calls > or should stick to VOIP providers?
