I have been to Hong Kong many times and I have Verizon. I can tell you that until this last august when I purchased a global blackberry with a GSM card from Verizon that my old phone without a GSM card would not work in Hong Kong, but it would work perfectly on the mainland of China. You must purchase the global calling plan from Verizon and a global phone before it will work in Hong Kong. I do not know about your Sprint PCS.

Call Sprint see if they have a rental for overseas you can use, if not buy a trac phone and then forward all calls from your regular cell to it.

A friend of mine travels to China for business regularly and has verizon. His works great. He says the clarity and signal is actually almost better. My brother lived Roma, Italy for 3 years with a local sprint account and only had signal issues from time to time. Just like here. I have sprint and he had better sprint service than I did alot of times.

I was a Customer Care Specialist for Sprint. Your phones will not work in that country because it uses a technology which is CDMA, wherein in those countries, the technology used is GSM. You better call our friendly customer service at Sprint to help you out with this. Ok?
