Staying connected in Hong Kong & Macau
Hong Kong and Macau are about an hour apart by ferry or by bus over the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge, so many 4–6 day itineraries take in both: a few days of shopping and eating in Hong Kong, then a day or two in Macau's old town and Cotai. One eSIM for both means no switching plans at the border.
Travel days are when you need data most: checking ferry times, finding the bridge bus terminal and locating your hotel shuttle on arrival. Autumn is a lovely time to go, while mainland public holidays make both cities very busy.
Coverage and networks
This plan covers the destinations listed below, as published in the plan information (2 in total). Check every stop on your route against the table before buying.
| Destination | Vietnamese name | Named networks |
|---|---|---|
| Hong Kong | Hồng Kông | China Telecom HK, HKT |
| Macau | Ma Cao | China Telecom Macau - CT Macau |
If your route also includes Shenzhen, Zhuhai or Guangzhou, look at the China, Hong Kong & Macau plans.
Signal and speed depend on where you are, your device and network conditions, and can differ between plans.
Choosing a data allowance
eSIM plans for Hong Kong & Macau currently last 1 to 30 days and come in these types:
- Daily data (500MB, 1GB, 2GB and 3GB per day): suits a steady routine. Check when the daily allowance resets and what happens once it is used.
- Total data (3GB to 50GB): one allowance for the whole trip, handy when some days are heavier than others.
- Unlimited: always read the fair-use policy; after a set amount, speed may be reduced.
Suggestions for this trip
- Count the total days of the whole trip, including the day you cross between the two: a 5-day trip needs a 5-day plan, a week needs a 7-day plan.
- Mostly maps, messaging and photos: 1GB of daily data is usually enough; for plenty of video, choose 2GB or 3GB a day.
- Rather not keep track: pick an unlimited plan (fair-use policy applies), or 10GB of total data for a trip of about a week.
Count your arrival and departure days. Before paying, check the exact plan for when validity starts, how days are counted, and whether hotspot, calls or SMS are included; these differ between plans.
Before you go
- Crossing between them: Every ferry or bridge bus involves immigration on both sides, so keep your passport with you and e-tickets ready on your phone.
- Transport cards: Octopus works in Hong Kong; in Macau, buses take Macau Pass or cash, and many places accept Hong Kong dollars.
- Public Wi-Fi: Hong Kong has Wi-Fi.HK and Macau has FreeWiFi.MO, both free in public spaces, but neither helps on the ferry or the bridge bus.
- Apps: Google Maps, WhatsApp and Facebook work normally in both; add MTR Mobile for Hong Kong and your Macau resort's app for shuttle timetables.
- eSIM setup: Before buying, make sure your phone supports eSIM and is not carrier-locked. Install the eSIM before you fly, on a stable Wi-Fi connection, following the instructions sent with your plan.
- On arrival: Set the travel eSIM as your mobile data line and follow its roaming instructions. Turn off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid unexpected charges.
