“Bought 3 of their Hong Kong & Macau 7 day eSIMs and none of them worked on my Google Pixel 9A and Pixel 10 phones, they ended up gave me one replacement eSIM from a different vendor and refunded the other two. My relatives bought 4 of their 7 day Hong Kong only eSIMs around the same time as me and they all worked flawlessly.”

“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.✨✨”

“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?

There are about 140 travel eSIM providers available for Hong Kong and more than 8, 600 prepaid data plans, giving travelers a wide variety of options to choose an eSIM that fits their needs.

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

Several providers offer unlimited data eSIM plans for Hong Kong, including abesteSIM, Yoho Mobile, MicroEsim, Billion Connect, Roamify, Truely and Yesim. The plans are normally valid from one up to ten days and cost between roughly $2.39 and $20.00 USD. Unlimited data is typically capped at a maximum speed of about 5 Mbps and may be subject to throttling, particularly after high‑usage bursts or during peak network times; most plans also allow tethering. Travelers can choose a plan that fits their budget and usage expectations while remaining aware of the speed limits.

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?

Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS for Hong Kong are available from several providers. GlobaleSIM offers several packages, all of which provide a phone number with the dialing code +1, voice inbound and outbound, and standard SMS support (some only inbound). Roamify supplies both inbound‑and‑outbound calls and SMS on plans that use +1, while other Roamify packages feature a foreign dialing code +33 with full voice and SMS capabilities. Earth Esim’s Orange Global eSIM also offers a +33 number with inbound‑and‑outbound voice and SMS, as does Orange Travel’s Hong Kong 20 GB plan. TravelKon’s Orange Global Explorer eSI packages use +33 and likewise support inbound‑and‑outbound calls and SMS. All of these plans provide a phone number, but the numbers are from foreign dialing codes rather than the local Hong Kong +852 code, so they will not appear as a Hong Kong‑local number.

Prices for these plans generally start around $4 USD for a 1 GB, 7‑day option and rise to about $30–$35 USD for a 20‑GB, 30‑day package. Validity periods vary from 7 days up to 365 days, with the majority of Hong Kong‑specific offerings ranging from 7 days to 30 days. These options give travelers local‑style phone numbers and SMS capabilities while traveling in Hong Kong.
