China Tips |
 |
One of the most important things to note is that China is on
220V AC. Any device that you are going to bring (laptop, mobile
phone charger, camera charger, hairdryer) needs to be able to
take a 200V charge. Make sure you purchase an actual adapter,
and not simply a device that helps change the prong structure.
Mobile phones are also readily available in China; it may be
easier to purchase one there than it would be to bring your own.
Prepaid plans are abundant, but if you are partial to your
phone, check with your manufacturer that your phone is
compatible with China’s GSM network. Blackberrys work well in
China, so long as you have signed up for an international plan
before you leave and make sure the phone is “unlocked”. |
