They do, but then you have an HK number. It is possible to get a dual number SIM - a simple google search should reveal your options, but for me, the best bet ended up buying a China Mobile SIM as soon as I crossed the border. Same with Macau - you are always cheaper getting a local SIM rather than roaming.
China Mobile has good prices for international calling, but I was puzzled for a while as no calls were going through. I went back to the China Mobile shop - turns out international calling has to be 'activated'. They will also sell you RMB100 refill cards which you just apply as needed. I found that all of the China Mobile stores in touristy areas had English speaking staff, so it wasn't much of an issue at all.
Similar experience with the People's card in Hong Kong. Although I bought the SIM at a 7-11, I was unable to get the internet working. A quick stop off at a dedicated People's store had me set up pretty quickly.
