China Mobile Hong Kong 5G covers the urban core of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the New Territories and the outlying islands, with reliable data for the MTR transit network, ride-hailing apps, and messaging. Signal holds across the dense Central and Tsim Sha Tsui commercial districts and inside the cross-harbour MTR extensions, drops in the country parks and the high-altitude trails of Lantau and Tai Mo Shan, and weakens on the ferry routes to outer islands where the offshore distance blocks the line of sight to the nearest tower.
14 plans are available for Hong Kong, from $3.99 up to $68.99. Every plan is data only, delivered by QR code, and starts counting when you connect on arrival.
Same plan, same coverage, wherever you go in Hong Kong.
