It seems to be a Mobile phone company in China or a mobile phone service plan. Does anybody know the English name?

另一种写法-"Xiao Ling Tong(PHS: Personal Handy-phone System)"
Explanation:
写成这样的理由---保持原文(俗称:小灵通)风格。
所以我认为拼音“XiaolingTong”一定要有;把其书面译文“PHS-Personal Handy-phone System”注明在括号中就不会影响英文读者对“XiaoLingTong”一词的理解。
在Google中搜索“小灵通 PHS”试试......^_^
