“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 more than 200 travel eSIM providers and more than 15 000 prepaid data plans available for Hong Kong, giving travelers a wide array of options to suit their needs.

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

Unlimited‑data eSIMs for Hong Kong are offered by several providers, all of which give 5G access. Popular options include abesteSIM, Roamify, ASIMGO, MicroEsim, Earth Esim, Yesim, esimzon, Truely, Bloomy eSIM, Ohayu, Orange Travel and FairPlay. All these plans advertise unlimited data, though most include a clause that speeds may be throttled and several list explicit speed caps. For instance, abesteSIM, ASIMGO, MicroEsim and esimzon cap speeds at 10 Mbps, Earth Esim offers either 5 Mbps or 10 Mbps limits, and Ohayu limits speed to 1 Mbps. The price spectrum for these unlimited packages ranges from as low as roughly $1.96 USD (abesteSIM) to about $29.01 USD (FairPlay), giving travelers a wide choice to match budget and usage expectations.

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, travel eSIM plans that provide a phone number and SMS for Hong Kong are available. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, JamboSim, ESIM.DOG and RedEx eSIM offer options that include a phone number and SMS capability. GlobaleSIM’s Hong Kong‑targeted plans use the dialing code +1, give inbound and outbound voice and inbound SMS, and range from 1GB to 50GB of data with validity periods of 7 to 30 days and prices from $4.00 to $45.00. JamboSim offers outbound voice and SMS with dialing code +1, data from 1GB to 5GB, validity 7 to 60 days and prices $11.99 to $50.99. ESIM.DOG provides inbound/outbound voice and SMS with dialing code +1, data 1GB to 5GB, validity 7 to 60 days and prices $11.99 to $49.00. RedEx eSIM supplies a local Hong Kong number with dialing code +852, inbound/outbound voice and SMS, 20GB of data for 30 days at $35.89, and similar plans with other dialing codes.

Some plans use phone numbers from other countries (e.g., +1) rather than a local Hong Kong number, so the number may appear foreign when used in Hong Kong. Travelers should verify that the plan’s dialing code and SMS capabilities meet their needs before purchasing, and note that inbound SMS may be limited on certain plans.
