Replace home-carrier data roaming without collecting or swapping a physical SIM. Skip contracts, airport kiosk queues and ID checks. You only need an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone.
Keep your own number while the eSIM carries data only. Your existing SIM stays in your phone for calls, SMS and bank codes, while WhatsApp keeps your familiar number.
Choose a short plan for a Hong Kong stopover exploring Central and Kowloon. Longer plans suit extended visits with trips to Lantau, outlying islands and the New Territories.
Get your connection ready before departure by installing your eSIM ahead of travel. On arrival, you can connect without hunting for airport Wi-Fi on your way to passport control.
What it is not: a phone number. For a local number to receive sign-up codes or bookings, add a virtual number in Hong Kong SAR China next to the data plan.

What customers say
Best virtual number website
Using this site from more than 1 month and everything works perfect till now.. no problem faced.. UI is simple and easy to understand, buying number is fast.. numbers are always fresh and otp comes instantly no waiting time.. I really suggest them best site in 2026
Worked as intended
Well, it worked as intended. It was very easy to use the service, so I can only recommend it. Wish there were help desk to check some questions but regardless it was a satisfactory purchase.
Excellent service. So happy I found it
Excellent service. Works when it works and replaced when it doesnt. Fair pricing and good perks as well.
It definitely works
It definitely works, but it can be confusing if you are not aware of what some of the services do to prevent having multiple numbers. WhatsApp will try to prevent you from making a new number on the same phone. Just have to use another phone to create the account and then you can sign in properly. I was confused why I kept going through so many numbers not working, but it was because I was using the same device that I recently had an account on. I deleted my previous account, but WhatsApp saves your device info for 30 days.
Much more reliable
SMS a little more expensive than other pages, but they are much more reliable, and work.
My experience has been great
My experience has been great because 1001sms has made my job so effortless and a 10 man task feel like a job for just 1.
Great service
Great service, absolute amazin for 3rd Countries who cant use amaing services without phone numbers
