    temporary Simcard

    I will be visiting HK for more than a week and would like to be able to keep touch with people at work in Mainland China...

    What is the best prepaid card should I buy?

    I heard about incoming call being charged thats fine.. guess they have the same system as Singapore..

    Please advice.

    I WANT THE SIM CARD TO BE IN TOUCH WITH MY FAMILY IN INDIA AND THAILAND. DOES THE SIM IN 7-11 HAVE AUTOMATICE INTERNATIONAL CALLING FACILITY SO THAT I CAN CALL INDIA AND BE IN TOUCH WITH THEM. AS I WILL BE SPEAKING TO INDIA AND MAIKE SOME CALLS IN LOCAL HONG KONG WHY WOULD I NEED ROAMING. IF IT IS GIVEN AS A FEATURE I WOULD NOT MIND.WHAT IS THE BEST VALUE CARD FOR ME.

    Yes - the cards sold in 7-11 have international calling capability. I'm not sure which the cheapest would be to India. The cards come normally with HK$50 or so of call credit and you can then buy recharge vouchers in 7-11 to top them up.

    You don't need roaming unless you plan to use the card elsewhere, but I think most of these cards do roam as well if you wish.
