FAQ
Does my phone need to be unlocked to use a Hong Kong eSIM?
Yes, your device must be carrier-unlocked to accept a foreign eSIM profile. Locked phones may reject the QR code or hit unexpected roaming charges.
Can I install the eSIM before flying to Hong Kong?
Install the eSIM profile via QR code while on Wi-Fi at home. The plan activates only when you land and enable data roaming.
What if my phone doesn't support eSIM?
Only eSIM-compatible phones (iPhone XS or later, most Google Pixels from 2018, Samsung Galaxy S20+ and newer) can use this product. Older or non-eSIM devices require a physical SIM.
Do I need to turn on data roaming after landing?
Yes, once you arrive in Hong Kong enable data roaming in Settings > Cellular > your eSIM > Data Roaming. The plan will then connect within 1-2 minutes.
How do I keep my home SIM active while using the eSIM?
If your phone supports dual SIM, keep your physical SIM active for calls and texts and set the eSIM as the data line. Turn off data roaming on your home SIM so you don't rack up charges from your home carrier.
