As far as I can tell, there are only two work-arounds for tourists. You can either travel with a tour group where the tour company pays for everything, or you borrow the phone of a local (and figure out a way to reimburse them).

OMG is it a PIA. Especially being here and trying to take care of family in China. That and they pretty much all still believe is psychics and have other beyond silly beliefs. We can't even find a home health company that will take care of one parent because the ashes of the other is in the house. Sorry for the rant but venting some frustrations helps. Lets get back to complaining about old man issues here.
