HiTouch, Make Business Easy!

Good news! Starting from December 1st, three major Chinese mobile operators - China Telecom, China Unicom and  China Mobile allow their users in trial sites to freely switch to any of the other two carriers and enjoy their services without changing the mobile number. 

December 1, 2018, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China launched a new process for users of three mobile operators. Under the new process, if users want to change mobile carrier, they just need to send a text message to the corresponding operator to finish the process of submitting application and don't have to go to the physical business site to handle this process in person.

Users are able to switch to any of these major operators without changing the number. Currently, this service is only available for telephone and mobile phone numbers.
