Frequently Asked Questions
Do iPhones bought in Hong Kong support eSIM?
Not all of them. Apple sells certain iPhone models in Hong Kong and Macao with two nano-SIM slots instead of eSIM. Models that do take an eSIM there include the iPhone 17 range, iPhone Air, iPhone 16e, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generation) and iPhone XS. If your Hong Kong iPhone is another model, a physical SIM is the way to go.

Does a China eSIM work in Hong Kong?
Only if Hong Kong is on its country list. Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau are separate mobile markets: in Hong Kong you connect to local networks such as CSL, SmarTone, 3 or China Mobile Hong Kong, not to the mainland operators. Plans that list China, Hong Kong and Macau together cover a Shenzhen or Guangzhou side trip and a ferry to Macau on one eSIM.

What is the cheapest eSIM for Hong Kong?
The cheapest plan that works in Hong Kong is a multi-country one: $3.49 for 1 GB, valid for 14 days. The cheapest plan for Hong Kong alone is 3 GB for 15 days at $3.99. Prices come live from 6 vetted providers and change often.
Is it worth getting an eSIM for Hong Kong?
For most travellers, yes, if your phone supports eSIM. Hong Kong plans start at $3.49 for 1 GB, and the longest lasts 365 days, which suits long stays and repeat visits. If your home plan already covers Hong Kong at no extra cost, you may not need one.
Which networks do Hong Kong eSIMs use?
Hong Kong eSIMs on MobiMatter run on 3, SmarTone, csl, and CMHK; 5G plans are available on 3, SmarTone, csl, and CMHK. 3 carries the most plans. Each plan names its network, so you choose your carrier before you buy.
Which eSIM is best for Hong Kong?
For Hong Kong alone, our top plan right now is 30 GB for 30 days at $18.99 from TSimTech. If Hong Kong is one stop of several, the top multi-country plan is 30 GB for 30 days at $23.99 from TSimTech, covering 4 countries.
How much data do I need for a week in Hong Kong?
It depends on how you use your phone. Light use (maps, messaging, browsing) takes about 0.5–1 GB a day; scrolling a lot of social video can take 2–3 GB or more. Typical use per hour:
- Instagram Reels, TikTok: 0.3–1 GB
- YouTube, Netflix at standard quality: 0.5–1 GB
- Video calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime): 0.5–1 GB
- Voice calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime Audio): 50–70 MB
- Maps and navigation: 2–6 MB
- Messaging and browsing: 50–150 MB
The cheapest Hong Kong plan with at least 5 GB for a week or longer is 5 GB for 30 days at $5.99.
Do Hong Kong eSIMs support 5G and hotspot?
5G is available on 33 plans for Hong Kong, where the local network has 5G coverage; the others use 4G/LTE. Hotspot (tethering) works on every plan, so you can share your data with other devices.
Does a Hong Kong eSIM come with a phone number?
Most travel eSIMs, including most Hong Kong plans, are data-only and have no local number. You keep your usual number on your main SIM for calls, texts and WhatsApp. Plans that include a number or minutes say so on the plan page.
Will my phone work with a Hong Kong eSIM?
Yes, if it supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier. To check, dial *#06#: if an EID number appears, your phone supports eSIM. Most iPhones from the XS/XR on, Galaxy S20 and later and Pixel 3 and later do, except most models sold in mainland China and some sold in Hong Kong and Macao.
Good to know
On iPhone, Hong Kong's 3, Club Sim and HKBN offer prepaid eSIM plans for international travellers who want a local line.

I have been using it for about 2 years and I am very satisfied. I used it in Greece, Bulgaria, and Romania, and I experienced internet speeds that I haven't seen in Turkey.

I have been using MobiMatter for a few years both for travel and to supplement my regular cell plan which has limited data. The service has always been solid and the prices excellent. The installation instructions are easy to follow. On the few occasions that I asked for tech support (mostly for my own errors) the response time has been amazing and the support courteous and effective.

For our trip to China, South Korea, and Japan, my wife and I bought two 12GB data packages and used them without any problems. Their prices are much more reasonable compared to competitors; I definitely recommend them.
