Dongle or no dongle....anything such as PAYG internet access?

Hi guys....

Long time no here as commitments keep me away from HK................But i am back!

Planning a wee trip hopefully end of this month i hope and to meet old friends and hopefully new.

I need some help and any feedback is welcome on what are my options on getting internet access at home...but no contract as i will be only in HK for just over 2 weeks. Laptop preferably as i am still in the old age with using mobiles i.e. non touch screen/iphone/smartphone user......etc.

Who knows..... maybe need to visit mongkok to open my eyes to smartphones...but to be honest i much prefer pen and paper to note when mongering.

Thanks guys

Puff

I know SmartOne has a USB attachment for cellular wifi access on a computer.  Not sure the contract options, but I believe they may do a pay-as-you-go option.  Worth checking out.  

If not SmartOne, I'm pretty sure you can get pay-as-you-go SIM cards for data access - which you can either use in a smartphone, iPad, or you can get a Cellular Wifi dongle for your computer.  

Alternatively, I have a data contract with Three HK, with no fixed minimum period, I can cancel any time.  That could work for you also.  

Finally, if you are in an urban location and get lucky, you have a VERY good chance of being able to access one of PCCW or Y5-Zone, in which case you can simply purchase wifi access on an hourly / daily / weekly / monthly basis.




Hear Ye!  The Mayor has spoken!

Last time when i was in HK 3 and pccw mobile had pay as you go mobile internet plans for your phone...but not for the laptop.  I don't remember seeing them selling usb sticks with the pre-paid plans, but you might want to...ok bro I think this might be your solution

Like Dartagnan was saying there is Wifi in almost every shopping center in HK so you could just sit around and surf too.

go to a 3 store, you can get a USB Modem for your lap top for about HK$700. Use it every time you come. Unless you have an unlocked one you can bring with you?

Buy a 3 SIM from the 3 shop and recharge vouchers. They have a deal that is HK$28/day unlimited use. It's cheap and reliable. If you buy the recharges from the 3 shop you can get the $300 one which has a bonus $100 value ($400 total) and use that next trip providing within 6 months. Alternatively you can get the normal recharge vouchers at 7/11.

if you're ever in HK for more than 10 days, this deal has a maximum charge of $288/month so once you hit the 10th consecutive day the rest of the month is effectively free.

Many thanx all bros for the replies......!

3 store option does really appeal to me as it seems the best option but i have a FB who has a dongle which came in her PCCW package i think a few months back....she still has

Hmm.......really dont to borrow as she stays nearby in my residence in HK. Its getting clingy abit and i just had her the other night because she is here....dilema dilema.  We did know each other before in UK when she was married. She divorced and went back to HK. The rest is history as it got off from day 1in M****.

I can call her if in need or she will call me but to be honest i dont like to instigate or shall i say take roll most of the time. I do get bored unless its wild...

Ooops...me said too much...!

Anyhows....i think i will be in HK the first week of July and would love to meet up with old friends and maybe new?.

great stuff...I need the same information, except for SZ.  Coming in August, and if everything goes right I'll be staying in my old place all by myself in Luohu and not have to stay with any in-laws or stay at hotels.  Unfortunately the downside is that I doubt if there's internet connectivity there and I do need to work (I promised my company that I would work from around 8pm to 1am HK time to match daytime hours in the US), so I would also want some temporary fast cellular mobile internet solution.  What does China Mobile offer?
