Near Ruili's border, your phone can jump to Myanmar's network and clock
Jiegao and the border villages, Ruili
Myanmar's mobile signal spills across the border into Ruili, especially around Jiegao, which Myanmar wraps on three sides. A phone set to pick a network automatically can switch to a Myanmar carrier without you noticing: the clock can drop 1.5 hours to Myanmar time, data may stop working, and calls can be billed as international roaming.
