No, this is a common misunderstanding! While Hong Kong has strong ties to the UK, it is not part of the UK or the European Union. Therefore, standard 'Roam Like at Home' benefits from UK or EU carriers (like Vodafone UK, O2, or Orange France) generally do not apply. Many home carriers will charge you expensive daily rates or per-MB fees for data usage in Hong Kong. An EastESIM plan for Hong Kong offers a far more economical and transparent way to stay connected in this dynamic city.
