[Purchasing SIM card] for Wifi hotspot Device in China?

[PLANT]

Hi all,

Hotel has poor wifi signal.
If I bought a generic wifi mobile device, what LOCAL sim would give me prepaid gb's?
Dont want international roaming or credit card payment...cash.

China - Pay as you go sim with data Wiki

China Unicom is probably what you're after, since it uses UMTS 2100...

+1 - China Unicom definitely only carrier you can use for 3G compatability.

+2 Unicom. Just buy at a street vendor or similar, my usual MO is find a vendor and pay the necessary RMB, and most of them are more than happy to set your phone up as well! Much easier than the phone menu system. Micro sims are a bit harder to find and cost a little more, you can buy a sim cutter at any market though for a couple of dollars.
