    According to the o2 website you can't use your 02 prepay in China, in saying that it usually means that they don't guarentee you can but you can get some level of receiving/sending texts.

    Thanks for the replies...

    I've been in touch with O2 and they have no agreement with any chinese networks for prepay.. They do if your bill pay however..

    I've found that I can send and recieve from my O2 prepay to Vodafone prepay or bill... Vodafone have some interest in chinamobile apparently..

    Sometimes that happens! Be careful how much you are charged though.
