Set up before you fly
Buy in the Nomad app and install your QR code at home. Your plan activates automatically when you first connect to a local tower in Hong Kong.
Keep your existing number
Nomad runs as a second line alongside your home SIM. Your usual number stays active for calls and texts — Nomad handles data only.
Real-time data usage
Track exactly how much data you've used at any time in the Nomad app, so you never get caught short before your next refill.
Travel beyond Hong Kong
If your Hong Kong trip is part of a wider journey, Nomad covers many other destinations from the same app — manage everything in one place.
Flexible up to 10 days
Nomad Hong Kong plans run up to 10 days from first use. Buy in advance so you're ready the moment you land.
Which Nomad plan should you pick?
For a short city break of 3–6 days, the cheapest plan at $33will cover Maps, WhatsApp and casual browsing. If you’re spending one to two weeks travelling around Hong Kong, step up to a mid-tier plan — usually the strongest value on a per-GB basis in Nomad’s Hong Kong lineup.
If you plan to work remotely, stream video daily, or use your phone as a hotspot, lean towards a larger bundle. The unlimited plans cost a premium but make sense for heavy users who don’t want to track usage.
One thing to note: Nomad Hong Kongplans are data-only. You won’t get a local number, but your existing SIM handles calls and texts as normal — messages, WhatsApp and FaceTime all work over data.
