Recharge mobile phone with China Mobile card

Recharge mobile with China Mobile (中國移動) seems to be something easy, but the fact is, seems most of people don’t know how to do. First thing is to buy the card (電話卡/手機充值卡) into any China Mobile store,  streetbook vendor, small shops,… but really most of the place have it.

When you have your card, scratch off the coat to have the magic PIN Number. Then you can start to call the 13800 138000. A nice girl robot will ask you if you want have in Chinese (press 1) or in English (press 2); we want to be like local, so let’s press 1 (btw, the procedure is same in Chinese or English).

They will ask you which number you want to recharge and finish it by #; A little tips is, if you want you recharge the number from where you’re calling, just press 1#. Now the fatidic moment of.. write the magic PIN Number, finished by #. If you do all in the right way… the nice robot will tell you that “The operation is successful”.
