China Mobile luring customers into China-made 3G network with "lucky" numbers

China Mobile wants a stripped down iPhone If you're one of those people who would like a “lucky number” for your newest 3G phone, China Mobile has started accepting applications in Shanghai for digits that start with 188. The auspicious numbers are supposed to help lure people into joining China's proprietary 3G network, TD-SCDMA. This made-in-China standard is competing with the more mature WCDMA from Europe and CDMA2000 from the U.S. Source: Shanghai Daily

    Rrrr, stupid TD; I'm almost sure everyone with WCDMA phones are going to China Unicom soon as the network goes online. And China Telecom is supposedly also getting nice Sharp phones that were previously Japan-only.
