For China Mobile's 5G services there are five categories, starting from a 128-yuan （$18）monthly package, which includes 30GB of data and 200 minutes of voice calls, to the highest at 589 yuan for 300GB of data and 3,000 minutes of voice calls.
China Mobile subscribers can add family members to a sharable plan for 169 yuan to 869 yuan per month.
China Telecom offers seven options, starting at 129 yuan for 30GB of data and 500 minutes of voice calls.
