Answers to common setup and buying questions.
Compare data, validity, activation and networks before buying. Save essential maps and bookings offline.
Check each plan: validity starts at purchase, first installation or first network connection.
Networks vary by plan. Reception and speeds depend on location, network conditions and your device.
Check hotspot support on each plan. Connected devices share the allowance.
Fixed total data. No daily reset.
Hong Kong only.
An eSIM-compatible, network-unlocked phone is required.
Check coverage, remaining data and validity. Follow the supplied roaming and APN instructions. Keep the eSIM installed when contacting support.
Save your airport transfer, hotel entrance and the right ferry pier before you land. A Hong Kong eSIM keeps you online on both sides of Victoria Harbour where the listed network is available, without replacing the number your WhatsApp messages use.

The Airport Express runs from Hong Kong International Airport to Tsing Yi, Kowloon and Hong Kong stations. Check the MTR service online and match those stops against your accommodation before buying a ticket.
Use your data to pull up the final connection and message your host an arrival time. A hotel described as 'Kowloon' is not automatically beside Kowloon Station, so save the exact street address, entrance and onward directions.
Keep your ticket reachable and plan the return airport leg separately. Download the MTR map before you leave Wi-Fi so a weak signal can't stop you finding the next interchange.
Save before you goAirport Express stop, hotel entrance, MTR map, return flight reference.
Star Ferry runs crossings between Tsim Sha Tsui and Central, and between Tsim Sha Tsui and Wan Chai. Pick the route that matches your next stop and check the operator's current service information before heading to the pier.
When meeting friends, send the pier name and which side of the harbour you're on. Central and Tsim Sha Tsui are separate meeting points even when both messages just say 'Star Ferry'. Save the destination pin and agree where to wait if someone misses a sailing.
The same Hong Kong allowance covers the day's maps and messages. If the next leg crosses into mainland China or Macao, sort out coverage for that destination first; a ferry across the harbour and a border crossing are different coverage decisions.
