Frequently Asked Questions about Hong Kong SAR China eSIM

How do I install my Hong Kong SAR China eSIM?

After purchase, you'll receive a QR code via email instantly. Scan it with your phone's camera, then go to Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM. Follow the prompts - it takes less than 5 minutes. See our installation guide for detailed instructions.

Is my phone compatible with eSIM?

Most modern smartphones support eSIM, including iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3+, Samsung Galaxy S20+, and many others. Check our compatible devices list to verify.

Can I keep my regular phone number?

Yes! Your phone can use both your regular SIM and the eSIM simultaneously (Dual SIM). Keep your home number for calls and texts while using the Hong Kong SAR China eSIM for affordable mobile data.

How much data do I need for Hong Kong SAR China?

For typical travel usage (maps, messaging, social media, and occasional video), 1-2GB per day is enough. Light users need about 500MB-1GB per day. Choose a plan above that matches your trip length and usage.

Roaming in Hong Kong SAR China can cost US$10-US$15 per MB!

Travelers are often shocked by their phone bills after a trip. Without a local data plan, your carrier charges international roaming rates that can reach US$10-US$15 per megabyte — that's up to US$10,000-US$15,000 per gigabyte.

Data-heavy apps like Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube can consume hundreds of megabytes in minutes. Without an eSIM, your carrier's roaming fees could turn a simple social media session into a hundred-dollar expense.

Every year, travelers return home to unexpected bills of US$200, US$500, even US$1,000 for just a few days abroad. Some carriers offer "travel passes" at US$10-US$15/day, but even those add up fast on longer trips.

With an eSIM Pass data plan for Hong Kong SAR China, you pay a fraction of the cost. No bill shock. Just affordable, fast data from the moment you land.

What network speeds will I get in Hong Kong SAR China?

Our Hong Kong SAR China eSIM connects to leading local operators providing 4G LTE and 5G coverage. Typical speeds are 20-100 Mbps download, enough for HD video streaming, video calls, and all apps.

Can I use my eSIM for hotspot/tethering?

Absolutely. Use your eSIM as a hotspot to share data with your laptop, tablet, or your mate's phone. Brilliant for family holidays and working remotely from a café in Barcelona.

What happens if I run out of data?

Simply purchase another eSIM - there are no overage charges. You can also buy your next plan before your current one expires to ensure uninterrupted connectivity.

When should I install my Hong Kong SAR China eSIM?

We recommend installing your eSIM before you leave home while connected to WiFi. You can install it days in advance - the validity period only starts when you first connect to a network in Hong Kong SAR China.
