Prepaid SIM Hong Kong Internet

I'm using Peoples prepaid now, this week, and am pleased. I have had no coverage issues (although I have not gone to fringe areas yet), and, the rates are perfect. I also forward my US cell number into Skype, and, forward Skype to the Peoples number, so, it only costs me a total of 4-5 US cents a minute to receive calls when anyone calls my US cell. And calling to US costs 3.2 US cents a minute.

Yes, you can use the GPRS plan on Peoples, and it seems to be the best data deal in town. I do not see a prepaid, flat rate EDGE or #g data plan. However, I have Blackberry data on my Blackberry, and am using it on CSL with EDGE, and, as a result of my T-Mo US Blackberry plan, I pay nothing extra for data anywhere in the world anyway.

Jeff...can you tell us exactly which People's product you bought and where (did you buy it there?). I will be going from Tokyo to Shanghai to HK to Singapore to Sydney and back. Do you know if it makes sense to use Peoples in these other countries...or get SIMS there?
