Choosing an eSIM for Hong Kong

These 119 plans use csl (some listed as CSL/China Telecom), 3 and SmarTone. None uses China Mobile Hong Kong, the fourth network.

None of these plans exits in Hong Kong right now: 59 state an exit in Malaysia or Singapore, so sites limited to Hong Kong IP addresses may not open.

Another 60 don't state an exit.

Every local SIM in Hong Kong, prepaid tourist cards included, has to be registered with your passport before it works. csl's Discover Hong Kong tourist SIM is HK$88 for 7 days. Plans here don't need local registration and are installed before you fly.

Hong Kong eSIM networks compared

Hong Kong plans here use 3 local networks: CSL/China Telecom, 3, and SmarTone. Some plans stay on one network; others list several and connect to whichever has signal.

About eSIMs for Hong Kong

Do I need an arrival card for Hong Kong?

No. Since 16 October 2024 visitors don't fill in arrival or departure cards. British citizens can stay up to 180 days without a visa, US, Canadian, Australian and EU citizens 90 days. Indian nationals get 14 days but must register online before travelling.

Is a Hong Kong eSIM the same as a China eSIM?

No. Hong Kong, Macao and mainland China are covered separately, so a plan for one may not work in the others. For a trip across all three, choose a plan that lists each one.

Which operators will my phone use in Hong Kong?

3, CSL/China Telecom, SmarTone, csl. Which one you connect to depends on local signal.

Is 5G supported?

Yes. Operators here are listed with 5G; each plan's networks show which.

What happens when the data runs out?

It depends on the plan: some keep a usable speed of 1 Mbps; others drop to 128 Kbps / 384 Kbps / 512 Kbps, which is enough for messaging; others stop data.

When does the validity start?

It starts when the eSIM first connects to a network. You can install it before you go.

Can I use a hotspot to share data in Hong Kong?

18 of these plans state personal hotspot support, so you can share data with a laptop or travel companions. It comes out of this eSIM’s allowance. Look for “Personal hotspot” in the plan details.

Can I install the same eSIM on a second phone?

No. Each QR code installs once. If you delete the eSIM or reset the phone, it can't be installed again, and once it has connected to a network it can't be refunded.

Can I top up data or extend validity?

Some plans add data, some add days, and some can't be topped up; each plan says which. Top up from the eSIM in My eSIMs. There's nothing new to install.

Are these prices tax inclusive?

Yes. The listed price is the final price.
