Yes, so have I.
My plan has unlimited internet, enough calls so I never run out (can't remember what)... also plenty of same network sms. My last bill was $240.
It is normally even less but last month I sent a lot of international/ cross network sms.
I bought a pre-paid card in a 7-11 and had the number transferred to my i-phone when I bought it in Smartone store.
Edit: was then given time to use up my existing credit before my i-phone account kicked in.
thanks everyone, we went into the CMHK store in sheung wan on saturday afternoon and did the MNP transfer. he got his SIM and will be on CMHK as of tuesday morning apparently. enough time to get his smartphone up and running.
very easy process. interesting bit of comparative trivia - in australia, to get a prepaid sim card you need to show 100 points of ID and your ID gets linked to the number you purchase, so you can be traced down if you use the number in association with any crime. here in HK, you dont even need to assign your name to your mobile number (if you are on prepaid)! crazy stuff.
Quick question, can a 'prepaid' PCCW sim/number be ported to a Smartone/3/CMHK 'contract'? I bought a PCCW card in HK last week, and when i go back i will get a contract phone, i want to port the number.
The other thing is that mobile usage seems very expensive vs the UK, for example for £30 i can get unlimited SMS, Data, Voice ect. In HK what is the best tariff/provider that you guys have found (for iPhone) heavy user.
PCCW actually has better deals than CMHK if you are going on a plan, with their 'ultimate mobility' plan:
PCCW mobile
SIM-only contract $208 for 10gb per month, unlimited SMS and 3000 local minutes
