Hi all

I will be travelling to HK in March, are there any payg sim cards available that includes data packages as I want to use my iphone so that I can keep using this site when I'm over there.

Thanks,

I think PCCW have a deal. You can also go into a Three (3) shop (lots in HK) and they will hook you up. I think there have been several posts about this subject over the past year so you may get more info doing a search. Good luck Bro.

TonyToro is correct.  PCCW and 3 will be what you want to look for.  However make sure you specify that you want 3g data with your prepaid.  I went into a 7-11 and specifically asked for a 3g SIM and they gave me a PCCW with wi-fi.  I went to an actual PCCW store the next day and they said the TST area only showed 1 storewith 1 of the 3g cards.

Is the number portability with that?  That is if I want to keep my number and am using pay as you go minutes will it be transferable?  Would be real nice to have net service on the go.

Another convenience store to buy such sim cards is Circle K.  They have more choice generally

My HK SIM is about 10 years old. It is a "3" pre paid card. I looked into changing it so it had full roaming and data capabilities (it doesn't) and I was told I would have to change the number.

"3" has the 3G Sim Cards but the Data is expensive. Somewhere between $300 - $400HKD for the entire month for data. Or like $28HKD per day. A bit steep, may want to consider using WiFi as it's easily accessible around the city ..
