“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?

In Hong Kong, there are about 150 providers offering more than 8, 900 prepaid data plans. The breadth of choices ensures that travelers can easily find a plan that matches their specific needs.

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

The largest eSIM comparison sites show that several providers offer unlimited data plans for travel to Hong Kong. All of these plans advertise an unlimited data allowance but note that speeds may be throttled after certain usage or during congestion; some also specify a reduced speed limit of around 128 kbps or a maximum speed of about 5 Mbps. The names of the available unlimited plans include abesteSIM, MicroEsim, Billion Connect, Roamify, Truely, Yesim, and FairPlay. Prices for these plans vary from roughly $2.40 up to just over $36 USD, so travelers can choose a plan that matches both budget and requested validity period.

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 with SMS support are available for Hong Kong. Providers that offer such plans include GlobaleSIM and Roamify. GlobaleSIM delivers Hong Kong‑targeted data packages ranging from 1 GB to 50 GB, valid 7 days to 30 days, with a foreign +1 phone number that offers inbound SMS service and inbound/outbound voice. Roamify’s Hong Kong eSIM supplies 20 GB of data for 30 days, a foreign +33 number, and supports inbound and outbound voice calls as well as inbound and outbound SMS. Prices for these services start around $4.00 USD for GlobaleSIM’s 1 GB plan and $30.00 USD for Roamify’s 20 GB plan.

No listed plan provides a local Hong Kong phone number that supports SMS; the local dialing code +852 appears only on Airhub’s data‑only plans, which include voice but are not documented as offering SMS capability in the data set. Travelers who require local numbers with SMS functionality may need to use these foreign‑number options or rely on VoIP applications over data.
