tmho160 Posted September 1, 2005 at 12:17 AM Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 at 12:17 AM Is it possible to send messages to China's 小灵通 in Guangdong from UK mobiles or by internet means or is there no way of doing that from here? It seems totally different from conventional mobile phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevelyan Posted September 1, 2005 at 06:38 PM Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 at 06:38 PM Not sure if you know this, but Xiaolingtong is run by China Telecom, and so is technically classified as a fixed-line service (they don't have a mobile license). This complicates things. China Unicom and China Mobile have interconnection agreements internationally for things like SMS, not China Telecom. This means that the handling of mobile interconnections would be handled by these companies, and I can't imagine they'd accept SMSs directed to fixed-line numbers. So I'm sorry to say it, but I think you're out of luck. Can you not just buy a used GSM phone for whomever you want to talk to in China? Used phones can be very inexpensive. If all you want to do is send SMS, 100 RMB should be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
