In addition to an increase in base fares, there is an incremental increase from HK$1.40 to HK$1.50 up to nine kilometers.

    Local SIM card for your mobile

    .PRACTICAL TIPS No Comments »

    Hong Kong is using GSM/PCS system. So, if your mobile support either of this system and haven’t on lock, you can buy a prepaid card and use it with your phone. It only cost you around HK$0.3/min. Much cheaper than roaming.

    If you wanna to buy it at HK International Airport, just go to 7-Eleven to buy it. Same price.
