A new transmitting tower was founded at Subash just 10km away from BC. There is no any problem using mobile at BC and higher camps.
You may change a sim card in Kashgar. The fee is around one-tenth of satellite phone.
Last year there was a tower by Karakul Lake, the message transmitting was not stable.

More quesions, ask me.
