“Agree to the review below,
They are not providing 5G as advertised and even 4G is extremely slow in my speed test. Also they do not acknowledge their own terms of service for refunds, talking to customer service is useless. Do not get.”

“Pretty poor experience. 5G promised but actually 4G only. Talked to their customer service. Guess what? They say it varies by area and operator”

TravelGator eSIM Hong Kong

“The eSIM was reliable for maps, social media, and basic browsing, though in some areas the speed wasn’t as fast as I expected. Still, it saved me a lot of stress and was way more affordable than roaming charges. Overall, I think it’s a really good option if you want a smooth, hassle-free way to stay connected while traveling.✨✨”

iRoamly Hong Kong

“This was my first time downloading an e-SIM. I used an iPhone 15 and everything was very simple. I didn't use the calls, just the data plan, 5GB for 10 days in Australia for $6, and it worked great. The price was very reasonable, and although I didn't check the remaining data, I can say that it was enough for me.”

Truely Hong Kong

“I must say Truely worked better than I expected in Hong Kong. With the internet breakout located within Hong Kong, the low Ping made the connection feel snappy and responsive, and the speeds were satisfactory.

The only downside was that ChatGPT couldn't be used with a Hong Kong IP address, and it would've been better if the price were a bit lower.”

Textr eSIM Hong Kong

“Dude, if you're headed to China or Hong Kong, you gotta check out Textr eSIM's data plan. I used it on a work trip recently and it was freakin' awesome. The network was super fast and reliable, even in the middle of nowhere. Setting it up was a breeze, and the pricing was totally reasonable. Plus, their customer support was super helpful whenever I had a question or needed assistance. Overall, if you want to stay connected and get stuff done on your trip, Textr eSIM's China and Hong Kong Data Plan is the way to go. Highly recommend.”

Hong Kong Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Hong Kong

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Hong Kong, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

120 providers and 6800 prepaid data plans are available for Hong Kong, offering a wide variety of options that make it easy to find an eSIM suited to your travel needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Hong Kong?

Several eSIM providers sell unlimited data plans for Hong Kong that can be used for 1‑to‑15 days. Yoho Mobile, abesteSIM, MicroEsim, Billion Connect, Roamify, Truely, Yesim and FairPlay all offer unlimited data with 5G connectivity. Most of these plans allow tethering, but the data rate is capped at 5 Mbps or will be throttled after a certain usage threshold; the plans therefore provide unlimited volume rather than unlimited speed. Prices for the unlimited options range from about $2.28 to roughly $30 USD, giving travelers a broad choice depending on how long they need the service and what level of speed they are willing to accept.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Hong Kong?

Hong Kong hosts several major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) that provide extensive coverage and services:

China Mobile Hong Kong (CMHK): A subsidiary of China Mobile, offering comprehensive mobile services across Hong Kong.
Hong Kong Telecommunications (HKT): Operates under brands like csl and 1O1O, delivering a range of telecommunications services.
Hutchison Telephone Company Limited ("3"): Part of the global Three brand, providing mobile and internet services.
SmarTone: A subsidiary of Sun Hung Kai Properties, offering mobile and broadband services.

In addition to these MNOs, Hong Kong has several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that lease network access from major carriers to offer their own mobile services. Examples include HKBN, Birdie, and China Unicom. However, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of MNOs rather than MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Hong Kong?

Yes, several travel eSIM providers offer plans that include a phone number and SMS capability for use while staying in Hong Kong. GlobaleSIM and Roamify each provide Hong Kong‑specific eSIMs that support inbound and outbound voice calls and, in the case of GlobaleSIM, inbound SMS only while Roamify offers inbound and outbound SMS. These plans give you a phone number with the U.S. dialing code +1, which is not a local Hong Kong number; the Roamify Hong Kong eSIM uses a French number with the +33 dialing code, also foreign. Prices for the Hong Kong‑targeted options start around $4.00 USD for a 7‑day, 1GB plan and can reach approximately $30.00 USD for a 30‑day, 20GB plan, with validity periods ranging from 7 to 30 days.
