Why use an eSIM in Hong Kong?
Hong Kong is dense and well-connected, and a local eSIM makes it easy to navigate the MTR, cross between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, and use ride-hailing and translation apps as soon as you land. A Hong Kong eSIM connects you to a local network at local rates, avoiding the roaming fees your Canadian carrier would otherwise charge.
Common Questions
Does a Hong Kong eSIM work on the MTR and outlying islands like Lantau?
Yes. Coverage on the MTR and around Hong Kong's outlying islands, including Lantau, is generally strong given the territory's dense network infrastructure.
Can I use a Hong Kong eSIM if I'm also visiting mainland China?
A Hong Kong-only eSIM covers Hong Kong. Mainland China requires separate coverage, so plan for a China eSIM or plan if your itinerary crosses the border.
Can I keep my Canadian number while using this eSIM?
Yes, but to avoid any roaming charges, turn your Canadian carrier line off entirely in your phone's cellular settings before you land. Disabling data roaming alone isn't enough, since some charges can still be triggered. Do not use Airplane Mode, as this disables your eSIM too. Use your eSIM for all data, and use WhatsApp, FaceTime, or iMessage for calls and messages instead; your contacts can still reach you over data. If you need to receive an OTP or two-factor text, turn your Canadian line on briefly, then off again. When you return home, turn it back on and everything returns to normal.
