Cell Phone Unlocking and International Travel

Filed under: Travel — bruce @ 1:53 am

A year ago, I went to China for a business travel. I brought my cell phone with me though I knew I weren’t able to use it outside of the US continental. But at least I could contact my family and friends in L.A. airport. I didn’t get time to do mobile phone unlock. The flight from L.A. to Beijing wasn’t a surprise.I stayed in one of northern city for a few days and ready to head to southern part of China. I managed to make phones within cities without a cell phone with no problem. At one of airports, I checked in an hour and was told the flight was going to be delayed for 3 hours. I went o the information desk, and to my surprise they have no phones for passengers. It wasn’t that bad for most of them as everyone has a cell pone those day, but not for international travelers.

I realized that it was a really mistake I didn’t unlock my cell phone. It’s not that hard to unlock cell phone for most of GSM phones. I was thinking of get the phone unlocked online, but I didn’t have Internet connection either. I couldn’t stopping thinking of cell phone unlocking on the plane.
