Wander Words

If you’re planning to spend much time in China, you should consider buying (or renting) a cellphone. I’ve been using www.Pandaphone.com for my cellphone in China. They have English-writing customer service by e-mail, and you can recharge your phone on-line so you can top up your account wherever you are.  Now you can use coupon code PANDA06 to get 15% off your order. Good for new and returning customers.

 Chinese phone service is can be pretty unreliable. Even with the big names like China Mobile, you often end up in bad-reception areas or with mysterious error messages. But a working cell phone — especially if your Chinese is pretty poor — can be very helpful.
