Jack,

It appears to be a mobile phone from the peoples republic of china, funny you can't charge from a mobile phone I don't think...But I bet the charges would be large especially for me, I'd have to get a Chinese - English translation dictionary and hope I get the Chinese spelling right, the conversation would not only be long but very aggrevating... lol

Free? I wonder what a call to China costs these days.

The usual way these things work is for the call to be to a special kind of number which charges exorbitant rates, similar to some 976 numbers in the US. Numbers in the Carribean, which even appear to be US numbers because they're in the North American Numbering Plan, were once very popular for this scam, but I think there's been a crackdown.

Not that anyone on SAS-L would be stupid enough to fall for this, of course.
