1. 4G/5G Hong Kong Pocket WiFi by Uroaming (Airport Pick-up)

On our last trip to Hong Kong, we used Uroaming’s pocket WiFi with unlimited data. Seeing that it has more than 500k bookings and excellent reviews, we knew that it was the best option for our team.

Best Hong Kong SIM Cards

If you will travel solo or with a friend, family, or significant other, you can also purchase a SIM card for Hong Kong. This option lets you go online without carrying a separate pocket WiFi — just swap your current SIM card with a prepaid SIM that you can pick up at the airport. SIM cards are also able to share data via mobile hotspot, so you can connect other devices easily (just note that turning on your mobile hotspot can drain your battery fast).

Below are the best prepaid Hong Kong SIM cards for tourists:

1. 4G Hong Kong SIM Card by CMHK (Airport Pick-up)

With more than 50k+ bookings on Klook, China Mobile Hong Kong’s (CMHK) tourist SIM card is the most popular option. With this SIM card, you can enjoy high-speed data and domestic calls as you explore the island. This SIM card can also be picked up conveniently at Hong Kong International Airport.

• PRICE: Book here starting at $7.45
• WHAT YOU’LL GET: 80GB data for 30 days, 1,000 minutes worth of calls (domestic), & mobile hotspot

2. 4G Hong Kong SIM Card by TripRoaming (Delivery in Hong Kong)

If your flight arrives in Hong Kong outside the operating hours of the SIM card counter at the airport (8am-9pm), you can opt to have your SIM card delivered to your hotel or accommodation instead. (This SIM card is also recommended if you are looking for an option cheaper than CMHK’s prepaid SIM card.)

• PRICE: Book here starting at $2.45 (vs. regular price of $3.79)
• WHAT YOU’LL GET: 1-3GB of data for 2-14 days, mobile hotspot, one-way delivery to your hotel or accommodation, & nationwide coverage in Hong Kong

• BEST REVIEW: “…[The] delivery [was] very fast and [the] internet [speeds were] also very good… very reasonable [price,] so go for it.”

Hong Kong SIM Card vs. eSIM

Nowadays, using an embedded SIM (eSIM) is more preferred than physical SIM cards. With an eSIM, you will not have to queue at the airport to collect your SIM card and physically install it. All you need to do is purchase one online, set it up on your phone, and turn on the eSIM upon arrival in Hong Kong.

If you want to experience using an eSIM, we recommend Airalo. They are the World’s First eSIM store that provides Hong eSIMs with 5G connectivity. Plans start at only $4.5, but you can get a 15% discount if you book here with our promo code TRAVLISTS.

For cheaper alternatives, you can also get this eSIM for Hong Kong with unlimited data starting at only $1.60.
