I have to say that two benefits of living in China is the excellent cellphone coverage and the ability to buy a phone independent of any service contract. The cell providers are of course limited in number, by law, but their options are quite good and not too costly. China Mobile is in the process of rolling out 4G service in my neck of the woods, and I may see if it’s worth switching.

WiFi hot spots, on the other hand, are still limited. Thailand has way better WiFi coverage.

One thing I like about the Czech Republic is not only the ability to buy a mobile phone independent of a contract, but that they’re ubiquitous in pawn shops here, and you can easily buy them online as well. The overwhelming majority of them are unlocked, so you just pop in your SIM and you’re good to go.
