How Unlimited Data Works in Hong Kong
Hong Kong Unlimited Data Plans provide unlimited mobile data in Hong Kong with a high-speed data allowance for each 24-hour period. The amount of high-speed data depends on the plan option you select.
After the high-speed allowance is used, unlimited data remains available at reduced speeds until the next 24-hour period begins, when the high-speed allowance becomes available again. For full details, review the Fair Usage and Expiry Policy.

Using Mobile Data During Your Hong Kong Trip
Mobile data can make it easier to stay connected throughout a Hong Kong trip, whether you are visiting for a vacation, business trip, family visit, or longer stay. Popular areas and destinations such as Central, Tsim Sha Tsui, Causeway Bay, Mong Kok, Wan Chai, and Lantau Island may all feature in different itineraries, so having mobile data available as you move between accommodation, transportation, attractions, restaurants, meetings, and other travel arrangements can be especially convenient.
- Getting around: Keep maps, MTR information, transportation details, accommodation information, reservations, and travel documents available while you are on the move.
- Exploring different areas: Stay connected as you move between Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the New Territories, and other parts of your itinerary without relying entirely on hotel, restaurant, or public Wi-Fi.
- Business travel: Stay connected to email, browser-based services, messaging, video meetings, and other online tools while travelling.
- Hotspot and router use: Share your mobile data connection with a laptop, tablet, or another device, or use the SIM Card in a compatible unlocked travel router.
Your Hong Kong SIM Card can connect to the supported partner network CMHK [4G]. Network availability depends on your location, device, and local network conditions.
