![]() I swapped my UM sim for easyroam and I am quite satisfied based on my usage in Europe and West Africa a couple of weeks ago. I also like the features and customizations available, forwarding, free VM, etc. Just like with other Isle of man sim cards.
Sim cards: AT&T (Contract), 3 UK, Piranha Mobile |

![]() I have said it before, one of the most important features of any global SIM is a responsive customer service/tech support that is open 24/7 from all over the world.. That's one reason I like my Ekit SIM's so much.
When I bought my first Ekit Passport SIM two years ago, I took a new unlocked Verizon Motorola World phone to Europe with me. Due to the Motorola software and Verizon's operating system, I could not get the phone to work. One call to a very responsive and patient tech at Ekit and I was making calls. |

![]() Chinaroam, welcome to Prepaidgsm.net!
A few suggestions (others may have other thoughts they can share) 1) See if you can buy just a local prepaid gsm sim card at a mobile phone shop. There are several carriers in Hong Kong: GSM Coverage Maps | Hong Kong (China) Once you establish the sim chip will work OK in your phone(see if the dealer will let you test the sim card in the shop), purchase enough refill vouchers to last your trip. Even if you have to throw the card away when you return home, at least this will give you immediate wireless communication. If you travel frequently to Hong Kong you might want to see if you can refill the sim card over the internet to keep the account alive for future trips. 2) Buy a prepaid landline calling card and use it at payphones (hotel room phones likely add high surcharges, so a payphone is better). It's low tech but it's a quick, reliable and inexpensive solution. 3) If you are traveling with a laptop, try calling back home with Skype or another VOIP provider. Do a test call first to see if the wifi connection you have access to gives acceptable voice quality. 4) When you get home, order a different callback sim card that has a decent price per minute for your travels but is also reliable (it's a balancing act, it's sometimes worth paying a bit more to get more reliable service). This website has several providers reviewed. Read through comments on the forums to make sure the vendor will work for you. Sim Cards: T-Mobile (Mint), AT&T (Mifi device or Kindle), Koko Satphone: InMarSat Broadband US Wireless Data: AT&T postpaid, Sprint (Karma Mobility prepaid) Broadband International Data: SkyRoam VOIP: Skype |
