FORTUNE — If you’re looking to signs that China Mobile (CHL) is getting set to start offering its 740 million subscribers iPhones — and what Apple (AAPL) investor isn’t? — the carrier’s website has been offering some strong hints. Take, for example, the attached promo that shows China Mobile customers communicating with a variety of smartphones and tablets — including Apple’s — on beaches, in beds, at the office.
The text (as translated by Google) reads:
“Want to be a pioneer in 4G LTE experience, enjoy one second to download video, online real-time video calls, real-time HD video surveillance? This is no longer a dream! To between 18 December and 18 January 2013, Shenzhen Mobile will recruit 365 4G LTE open and friendly customer experience across the city, the first network terminal, a full range of business and other fun test!

That 18 January 2013 date is not a typo. Chinese New Year — the country’s big shopping event — falls on Jan. 31 this year.
