Travel to Hong Kong: eSIM With Data From Arrival
Travel eSIM data in 210+ countries
Visiting Hong Kong for business or a holiday? A travel eSIM gives you data at the airport, for maps, transport apps and messages.
Before you fly: 5-minute checklist
- Check your phone supports eSIM and is unlocked.
- Buy your Hong Kong plan – see Hong Kong plans from $4.00 – with code CONNECT.
- Install it at home on Wi-Fi by scanning the QR code from your email.
- Keep your home SIM on so calls and OTP texts still reach you.
- When you land, switch on the eSIM line and set it for mobile data.
Hong Kong travel tips
- Transport apps make the MTR and buses easy – keep data for them.
- Going on to Macau or mainland China? Check that your plan covers every place on your trip.
- Install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi before your flight.
Questions travellers ask
Does a Hong Kong eSIM work in Macau?
Only if your plan includes Macau. Check the coverage list of your plan before you buy.
Can I buy the eSIM before I travel?
Yes – that is the best way. Buy it online, install it at home on Wi-Fi, and switch it on when you land.
Will I still get bank OTP messages from home?
Yes, if your home SIM stays in the phone with roaming for calls and texts switched on. Use the eSIM for data and your home SIM for calls and OTP texts.
Does my phone support eSIM?
Most recent iPhones (XS and newer), Samsung Galaxy S and Z models and Google Pixel phones support eSIM. Your phone must also be unlocked. You can check under Settings: if you see “Add eSIM” or “Add mobile plan”, it is supported.
