Good to know
Install before you fly
Install it at home on Wi-Fi. It stays off until you switch it on for data at your destination.
Keep your own SIM
Your usual SIM stays in for calls and texts. Set the Veela eSIM as your line for mobile data.
Help when you're there
The assistant answers in your language at any hour, and a person picks up anything it can't fix.
Tips for Hong Kong
- The MTR, ferries and buses accept Octopus and, increasingly, contactless cards; plan routes with Citymapper or Google Maps.
- Going on to Shenzhen or Guangzhou? The Hong Kong plan doesn't cover mainland China; the Asia regional plan covers both.
- Hong Kong has dense coverage including in the MTR, so even a small plan goes a long way on a short visit.
Hong Kong eSIM questions
Does it work in Macau?
Not the Hong Kong plan. The Asia regional plan covers Hong Kong, Macau and mainland China.
Do Google and WhatsApp work?
Yes, in Hong Kong they work on any network, as they do at home.
When does the plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Hong Kong. Installing it at home doesn't start the clock.
Is my phone compatible?
Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number and your phone is unlocked, it works. See the compatibility checker for common models.
Can I top up?
Yes. From your account, add data to the same eSIM without reinstalling it.
