“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?

With 140 providers and 8, 800 prepaid data plans available for Hong Kong, travelers can choose from a wide variety of options.

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

Unlimited data eSIM plans are available in Hong Kong from several providers. The options range from one‑day to ten‑day validity periods and cost between roughly $2.33 and $20.43 USD. All of the plans allow tethering, and most specify that speed may be throttled, typically to 5 Mbps — one offering a reduced speed of 128 kbps when the network is busy. The providers that offer such plans are abesteSIM, Yoho Mobile, MicroEsim, Billion Connect, Roamify, Truely and Yesim. These plans give travelers the freedom to use data as needed without a hard cap, though the actual speed may be limited during periods of high traffic. When choosing a plan, consider the length of stay and the type of internet activities you plan to use, selecting a plan that matches both your duration and desired data mileage while keeping the speed range in mind.

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 service for Hong Kong are offered by GlobaleSIM, Roamify, Orange Travel and TravelKon. These plans issue numbers with dialing codes +1 (United States) or +33 (France), so the numbers are not local Hong Kong numbers. All plans provide inbound and outbound voice calls and SMS capabilities (inbound on all plans, with outbound SMS on the larger packages).

Prices start at $4.00 for a 1GB, 7‑day option from GlobaleSIM and extend up to $105.00 for a 20GB, 365‑day plan from Roamify. Validity periods range from 7 days to 365 days, and data caps are available from 1GB to 100GB across the available packages.
