Go inside Chungking Mansions, some mobile phone vendors sell vast array of sim cards.   Agree PCCW cheapest deals and I found $48 cards lasts quite a long time.

Just a bit off topic, if I use a roaming sim (international number) will the agent answer/call or text back if I'll set an appointment?

If I get a local sim (let's say pccw), and use it in to set appointment w/ hg or house call, whether it pushes through or not, will they still call afterwards?  I'm afraid to receive unexpected calls from them and have my wife picked up the phone when I'm asleep or taking a shower.

Seems unlikely, but if you are only using a throwaway SIM card anyway, just pull it out when you're not using it, or turn off your second phone when not out prowling. It won't matter as you'll be using your regular number for above-board calls.

I am in the same boat as the OP.

I also read that I can subscribe for a short time to a wifi carrier which will give me intrnet access throughout Hk  and the rate was very reasonable.. Might be something to look into.

As soon as I arrived in HK I bought a SIM card($48) and 30 days wifi ($152(6?)), both from PCCW

I don't know about the others but I didn't like the PCCW wifi..  The spots and the coverage are very limited..


Is there any other (and better) wifi provider in HK?
