If you have planned to travel to China between August 8 and 24th for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, you might be interested to know how to get a cell phone package including low-cost national and international calls, comprehensive city guides, GPS navigation, a camera so you to bring back the special moments with you, wireless Internet access and emergency assistance.
The company providing such a cool and complete package is Yoyoor, a cell phone rental and travel assistance service destined to English speakers coming to China. You could get it from the Beijing International Airport or order it from anywhere in the country, for personal delivery.

Using a dedicated button on the phone you can access a live support in English to ask for information related to travel directions, restaurant recommendations, entertainment ideas, and transportation.
This service is very useful because only 30% of the cell phones available in North America and Europe work on the Chinese territory and those telecommunication companies that do offer support ask for high rates for calling, messaging and access to data. To offer the best alternative, Yoyoor gives you access to all these 3 important services for $3.99 per day.

“This is the moment we’ve been waiting for. Yoyoor is poised to keep the thousands of travelers visiting China for the Beijing Summer Games in touch with their friends and family through our flat-rate mobile phone rental package,” said Joss Shen, CEO of Yoyoor. “We look forward to surprising and delighting Yoyoor customers with our comprehensive travel services and especially our personal touch of a live on-call representative to answer any questions they might have and to make their experience in Beijing even more fun and enjoyable.”

In addition to this, the Chinese company has a special offer for visitors that plan to stay in the country for a longer period of time, and provides a rate of $0.20/minute for calling while diverting all incoming calls to the cell phone used in China. Extra charges are of $8 for the activation and $0.25 saily service fee for the Travel-lite package.
The offer includes a Nokia 6110 Navigator smartphone with GPS, A-GPS, high-resolution built-in camera and multimedia player among others.
