Hey Bossman, yeah that's what I'm thinking of doing. I want to get as cheap a prepaid as possible. For example, I found a $18 Tracfone online that's quadband. I'm sure I could figure out how to unlock it too. The only thing else I need to be sure of is that it could read Chinese characters. I thought this might be a function of the SIM card (which will be Chinese) but possibly this has to do with the software of the phone? If it depends on the phone, then I might be out of luck cause I'm not sure that the Tracfone would have language capabilities besides English and Spanish.
