HK + MAINLAND CHINA

One plan, both places.

If you do not want to manage a VPN, consider a Hong Kong and Mainland China mobile plan that works in both places. Depending on carrier routing, it can keep your data connection simpler while crossing the border.

Multi-line plans can bring the effective monthly cost to roughly RMB 100–400 per line when several numbers share one account and extra data is added.

  • Hong Kong and Mainland data
  • Shared family or business lines
  • Optional extra data
  • One account to manage
Prices, coverage, routing, and fair-use limits vary by provider. Confirm the current terms before signing a contract.
