Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest eSIM for Hong Kong?
The cheapest Hong Kong eSIM on MobiMatter costs $3.49 for 1 GB, valid for 14 days. Prices come live from 6 vetted providers and change often; the price on this page is the current one.
Is it worth getting an eSIM for Hong Kong?
For most tourists and business travellers, yes, if your phone supports eSIM. Hong Kong plans start at $3.49 for 1 GB, and you install the eSIM before you fly, so you have data when you land, without queuing for a tourist SIM at the airport. 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 / 1010, CSL, CMCC HK, and HKT. Every plan names its network, so you can choose the carrier you prefer before you buy.
Which eSIM is best for Hong Kong?
Our best plan for Hong Kong right now is 30 GB for 30 days at $18.99 from TSimTech. We rank plans on quality and value for money, and this one comes first in the list.
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 models sold in mainland China.
Can I keep my own SIM and WhatsApp while using a Hong Kong eSIM?
Yes. Your eSIM and your main SIM can be active at the same time. Use the eSIM for mobile data with data roaming on for that line, and turn data roaming off on your home SIM to avoid charges. WhatsApp keeps working on your usual number.

Used this app for mobile data while in Malaysia for a few days last week. I rate it 10/10 for ease of use, affordability and for effectiveness too. After 5 days of regular usage, I still have 8GB left out of 10GB
