- Officially, you require to have a company in China order the service for you, though it's easy to get past this (anything in China is up for negotiation).
- The secret number is 400 811 1086 to order the service.
- China Mobile only supports BES, they might tell you that BES and mail server must be located in China, but don't believe that, the first time I phoned them they said so, the second time (the same guy) told me foreign BES is fine. They also apparently only support Microsoft Exchange (not Lotus or anything like that), this is also a lie.
- BlackBerry coverage is available in China everywhere where there is GSM 900 coverage, not only in 6 major cities as suggested by some people.
