What to know about mobile data in Hong Kong

Hong Kong has its own mobile networks, its own regulator and its own internet rules, separate from mainland China. The mainland's filtering system does not operate there, so Google, WhatsApp and Instagram load on local connections, although a small number of sites have been blocked under the national security law since 2021. Plans normally treat Hong Kong, Macau and mainland China as three destinations. Local SIM cards need real-name registration, a rule written for cards issued by Hong Kong operators.

Before you go

  • Going on to Shenzhen or Guangzhou? Check that mainland China is in the plan, and read our China page on how roaming data is routed.
  • Macau is a separate entry in plan lists. Confirm it is included before taking the ferry or the bridge bus for the day.
  • In the northern New Territories, near the boundary, the phone can attach to a mainland network. Select a Hong Kong network manually on a Hong Kong-only plan.

Is the internet in Hong Kong restricted like in mainland China?

No. Hong Kong is outside the mainland's firewall and mainstream foreign services work normally. Since January 2021 internet providers there have blocked a few sites under the national security law, which does not affect everyday use.

Do I have to register my identity to use an eSIM in Hong Kong?

Real-name registration applies to SIM cards issued by Hong Kong operators for local use, and a local prepaid card bought there has to be registered. A travel eSIM issued abroad is a roaming line and is not part of that programme, as far as the government's announcement describes it.
