Hong Kong eSIM
93 Hong Kong plans · from $4.06
Hong Kong is a city, a territory and its own mobile market — and crucially it sits outside the mainland Chinese internet, so Google, WhatsApp and Instagram all work normally here. That also means a China plan does not cover it, and a Hong Kong plan does not cover Shenzhen half an hour away.
Landing at Chek Lap Kok (HKG)
The Airport Express reaches Central in 24 minutes and is the fastest way in. Get an Octopus card or set up contactless on arrival — it pays for the MTR, ferries, buses and most convenience stores.

How “Unlimited” works: Never cut off — each plan gives a set amount of full-speed data, then a slower speed. The exact allowance and speed are shown on every plan.Read more
Unlimited plans never run out and your eSIM is never disconnected, but every one has a fair-use limit: a set amount of full-speed data, after which the speed is reduced. The amounts differ between plans — most give a daily full-speed allowance that refills every 24 hours from when you first activate the eSIM, while Premium plans give a larger allowance for the whole plan instead. Each plan states its own allowance and the speed after it before you buy. At the reduced speed, messaging, maps, email and light browsing still work; video streaming and video calls may not. If you want every gigabyte at full speed, choose a fixed-GB plan.
Which networks you'll be on in Hong Kong
Siima eSIMs for Hong Kong ride CSL, 3 and SmarTone. Coverage across the territory is outstanding, including the outlying islands and the country parks.
Coverage around Hong Kong
MTR and the harbour
Full coverage in every MTR tunnel and station, on the Star Ferry and through the cross-harbour tunnels. The system is comprehensively fitted.
The Peak and Central
Dense 5G across Central, Admiralty and Tsim Sha Tsui, and on the Peak Tram and the terrace at the top.
Outlying islands and hiking
Lamma, Cheung Chau and Lantau are well covered, as are the Dragon's Back and MacLehose trails — Hong Kong's country parks are unusually well connected for hiking terrain.
Crossing to the mainland
Shenzhen is a border crossing away and runs on mainland networks behind the Great Firewall. Your Hong Kong plan stops there, and the internet works differently on the other side.
How much data you need
A few days in Hong Kong is 2–3 GB. The city is compact and Wi-Fi is everywhere, but the MTR and maps run constantly.
