Hong Kong eSIM questions
How much does the Hong Kong eSIM cost?
Data plans start at $3.95 for 1GB over 7 days, and 10GB for 30 days is $20.95. Prices are in AUD, with no roaming charges on top.
How much data do I need in Hong Kong?
Most travellers use about 1GB a day with maps, messaging and some social media, so 10GB ($20.95) covers a week. Just maps and messages? 5GB ($12.95) is enough for a week. Streaming or a laptop hotspot? Pick 50GB ($75.95). See how much data each app uses.
Which networks does the Hong Kong eSIM use?
It uses csl and SmarTone, and joins whichever has the best signal where you are. You get 5G where the network has it, if your phone supports 5G, and 4G everywhere else.
Do Google and WhatsApp work in Hong Kong?
Yes. Hong Kong isn't behind mainland China's blocks, so Google, WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook all work.
Does it work on the MTR?
Yes. Every MTR station and tunnel has signal, the Airport Express included.
Does it work on Lantau and the outlying islands?
Yes in the villages, at the Big Buddha and on the ferries. On hiking trails like Lantau Peak it gets patchy.
Can I use it in Macau or mainland China?
No, it's Hong Kong only. The China, Hong Kong & Macau eSIM covers all three on one plan.
When does my Hong Kong plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Hong Kong. Install it on Wi-Fi a day or two before you fly: the days don't start counting until you land.
Can I use the Hong Kong eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Every Hong Kong plan can share its data with a laptop, a tablet or a travel partner's phone. Anything you share comes off the same plan.
Does the Hong Kong eSIM include calls and texts?
No, it's data only, with no local number. Call and text over WhatsApp, iMessage or FaceTime. Your Australian number stays on your phone, so texts like bank codes still arrive.
