Your free eSIM connects automatically to these mobile carriers — the same networks locals use, no SIM swap required.
Walk off the jet bridge with maps, ride-hailing and messaging already working at these arrival points.
Strong 4G/5G across the cities and neighbourhoods most travellers actually visit.
The financial district and the hill behind it: the Mid-Levels Escalator climbing through Soho, the bars of Lan Kwai Fong, and the Peak Tram up to the harbour view.
Dense, loud and on the tram line: the shopping crush of Causeway Bay, Wan Chai’s wet markets and old shophouses, and night racing at Happy Valley on Wednesdays in season.
Across the harbour: the skyline from the Tsim Sha Tsui promenade, the Temple Street night market in Yau Ma Tei, and the street markets and neon of Mong Kok.
Right beside the airport and easy on arrival day: the Ngong Ping cable car up to the Big Buddha, the stilt houses of the fishing village at Tai O, and Hong Kong Disneyland.
The green side most visitors miss: seafood along the Sai Kung waterfront, the beaches of Tai Long Wan, and stages of the MacLehose Trail — where the signal turns patchy.
The eSIM gets you online — these are the local apps it unlocks the moment you arrive.
The card behind the MTR, buses, trams, ferries and corner shops. On an iPhone you can add one to Apple Wallet through the Octopus for Tourists app and top it up with a foreign card; with any other phone, buy a physical card at the airport. Many minibuses and small shops prefer Octopus or exact cash.
Plans across the MTR, buses, minibuses, trams and ferries in one route, and tells you which exit to take — big stations have a dozen, and the wrong one can cost ten minutes.
Books the licensed red, green and blue taxis, with the pickup point pinned for you. More drivers take cards and QR payment than a few years ago, but keep some cash just in case.
Hong Kong’s own restaurant guide, with far more local reviews than anything else — the way to find a cha chaan teng or dim sum place that is not on the tourist trail.
What you’d pay at the airport SIM kiosk — and what you save by activating the eSIM before you fly.
Being straight with you: HK$88 buys far more data than our free 1 GB, and csl sells that pass as an eSIM too. What you skip here is the real-name registration every Hong Kong SIM needs before it works — you land online, and can top up the same eSIM if 1 GB runs out.
Try our cutting-edge eSIM technology for free on your trip to Hong Kong.
Enough for maps, messages, ride-hailing and light browsing when you arrive. This card covers this destination only — the others each have their own.
Add more data or extend your validity whenever you need it — top-ups stack onto the same eSIM, no reinstall, no SIM swap.
Connects to top local carriers — the same fast, reliable networks our paid plans use.
