Getting a SIM Card in Hong Kong

Where to Buy

SIM cards are sold at the airport arrivals hall, 7-Elevens and Circle K stores, and carrier retail shops in any major mall.

Which Carrier

The three major players are CSL, China Mobile Hong Kong, and 3 Hong Kong. Differences between them are marginal for most visitors.

Registration Requirement

Hong Kong requires real-name registration for SIM cards — bring your passport when purchasing.

Cost

A typical 8-30 day tourist SIM with several GB of data runs HK$78-188 depending on allowance and validity.

eSIM Alternative

Hong Kong has good eSIM support if you’d rather set up data before you land.
