this is a quad-band GSM phone, so it will work with any GSM network anywhere in the world after it's unlocked. When you get the phone from T-Mobile it is LOCKED to T-Mobile which means it only accepts T-Mobile sim cards. So it will reject any non T-Mobile sim cards. After you unlock it, it will accepts any sim card from any carrier in the world. To unlock the phone you have several options: 1. Go to a place that unlocks phones. These places have special software and/or hardware that can unlock the phone without requiring to have the unlock code. They usually charge $10-$20. 2. Get the unlock code from T-Mobile and follow the instructions to enter it into the phone. 3. Flash the phone with a new firmware (only recommended for phone hackers as this is a complicated process which could "brick" the phone). |

It will work in Hong Kong after unlock, if China is using GSM, I think it will work.

This phone is a pain to unlock. To do so, you first have to entirely dissassemble the phone, in order to create a ground to a specific point on the circuit board. WHILE you have it grounded, you need to boot up the phone and set it to accept new firmware. THEN you have to reassemble the phone, connect it with the proper cable, use the proper firmware, and flash.

That's the unlock by TP procedure, you can always try to get the unlock code from T-Mobile. I had been getting the code from them sucessfully, being a pre-paid customers, and usually get the code in a few days of account activation. |

You need to flex the phone with a Chinese language pack, 015 for simplified Chinese. Unsure about traditional. |

Thanks, I did this for a motorola L2, I thought the language packs are phone specific? So you mean 015 will work for any motorola? Thanks. |
