Frequently Asked Questions

Most recent smartphones support eSIM, but you should always check: On iPhone, go to Settings → General → About and look for an EID number. If you see EID, your iPhone supports eSIM. On Android, go to Settings → About phone and look for eSIM, SIM manager or an EID field. Your phone must also be network unlocked to use an international eSIM. If you are not sure, you can share your phone model with Gohub support and we can help you confirm compatibility.
The most comfortable option is: Purchase your Hong Kong eSIM 3 to 7 days before departure while you have stable Wi Fi. Install the eSIM profile on your phone before you fly, but keep the eSIM line switched off. Activate mobile data after landing in Hong Kong so your validity starts at the right time.

For couples, families and small groups, each person should have their own eSIM or connect via hotspot.
Hong Kong has several major operators with strong coverage in urban areas, especially in busy districts and along main transport routes. Gohub does not name one operator as the best, because coverage can vary by location, building and device. Your Hong Kong eSIM will automatically connect to the local partner network that is used for that plan. This network is chosen to provide reliable everyday coverage for most travelers. If you need details for a specific area or building, it is best to review the official coverage maps of local operators.

It depends on your usage, but these ranges work for most city trips: Light use (messages, maps, simple browsing): about 1 GB every 3 days. Normal use (social media, maps, restaurant search, some video): around 1 to 2 GB per day. Heavy use (HD video, frequent uploads, constant social media): 3 GB or more per day. Rough guide: 3 to 5 day trip Light user: 2 to 3 GB Normal user: 5 to 10 GB 7 day trip Light user: 3 to 5 GB Normal user: 7 to 15 GB If you are unsure, choose a plan with a bit more data for extra safety.

A standard Hong Kong data only eSIM: Does not include traditional voice calls or SMS. You can still call and message using apps such as WhatsApp, Messenger, FaceTime, Telegram or Zoom over data.
