I wouldn't recommend it for foreigners. Just stick to the convenience stores / official retail stores. Sim cards in HK are dirt cheap already - not worth the hassle if you don't know the local language / area.

I'm from Hong Kong originally, and I go to Sham Shui Po regularly to shop(just not hunting for sim cards). Do you have one that you trust or you can practically buy it from any stand?

I normally buy it from 7-11 in the city but very often they don't have all the sim cards available.

Thanks in advance!
