will my Chinese cell phone work in Taiwan and Hong Kong

will my Chinese cell phone work in Taiwan and Hong Kong?
Hello, I'm overseas and I only have a Chinese cell phone with service from China International. While I was in China I got the service to make international calls, but I don't know if that means if I'm in Taiwan or Hong Kong if I can still use my cell phone?

You need to check the GSM frequency band - that's what determines if you can use it in another country. Taiwan and HK uses 900/1800 and other 3G ones. It should work.

Question about friend coming from Hong Kong and wanting to work in the USA

Question about friend coming from Hong Kong and wanting to work in the USA?
My friend lives in Hong Kong and she ios coming this summer to Pittsburgh to work on her Ph.d. She has no problem with a visa because shes been accepted at the university but she is wondering about her fiancee. She thinks he would not be allowed to work in the USA because theyre not married and wants him to work but legally. I know absolutlely nothing about visas from Hong Kong to the USA. Is there a way for her fiancee to work legally in the USA like a temp visa or something he needs Thanks

Not enough jobs for Americans tell him he is not wanted and should stay home.

Millions of Americans are out of work.............STAY HOME!

Exactly what type of visa does her fiance plan on using to come to the USA? Since they are not married nothing she does, like getting an F-1 Student Visa, will have any impact on him and his ability to set foot on American soil. He has virtually no chance of even being allowed to come to the USA for more than 6 months, much less get a job.
4 :
The only way he could get a visa with permission to work would be if he has skills and a US employer to sponsor him for a H1B visa. The engagement would have no impact. Legal permanent residents are allowed to sponsor a spouse or child, but students are in a non-immigrant category and cannot sponsor anyone to the US.

Hi, The nice thing about Hong Kong is that there iPhones are not locked. So if you buy ab official one from a the apple store, this phone will not be locked, and you will be able to use any provider in the world. I do this myself. Take care Ash

You are a resident of the US so you will need to declare all income you earn even if it is from outside the US.
