The issue is not 5.5 rmb.
The issue is fraud. As said above, just because you are on low pay does not mean stealing is OK.
The flip side. Just because you can afford to use Lazy Bones, does this make cheating you OK?
Lazy Bones have good reason to be concerned as this can seriously affect their business. If we don't trust the drives, we may stop using the service. This needs to be nipped in the bud.
Perhaps LBones could tell drivers that if they receive complaints, their services may no longer be required.
Forums > Study > Are there any programs in Kunming for foreigners to become qualified as Chinese teachers The question would be, if you want to teach back home, what qualification is recognised back home?
If the CSL course is like many TEFL courses, it may not be recognised in many countries. If so, you may get some private clients, but you would not be able to teach in schools.
It may also be worth contacting the education departments in both the Chinese Embassy and local government offices back home. Have you spoken to your high school Chinese teacher? He/she may also be in a good position to advise. Additionally you could try contacting the Confucius Institutes in Beijing or back home.
Just some thoughts

Computer? Depends on what you will use it for. Internet speeds here are very slow. I am outside the city centre and the fastest service I can get is 2MB/s. Connecting to the internet is via modem, we buy a service from the phone company, there is no choice in our suburb.
Cell phone, you can 'buy' a SIM here, but you need to get local to help you as all mobiles require real name registration. You can get pay as you go or contracts. Some local contracts allow you to phone any other phone with the same phone company, in the same locale, free.
I generally buy cheap phones, they are less attractive to thieves. Smart phones are available here, but from what I can gather they don't work to full capacity/functionality because of local connection/services are poor.
