(1) Can be purchased without a contract (so you'd pay a higher monthly fee but not be locked into paying that fee every single month)? and
(2) Can be suspended for a much smaller cost than paying for the service itself? Ideally, between HK$6 and HK$30 per month.
Not in your case.

While what you ask for is potentially possible, the problem is it does not seem you are a Hong Kong resident. All postpaid plans require a local proof of address, as well as a HKID. Based on your FT profile, it does not seem you have either.

(Note - FWIW - the U.S. has a similar logic that it is a big trouble when you want postpaid service without SSN.)

The easiest way - without the dual number SIM - is to get an actual Chinese SIM. They are available, at least in the Mainland. The problem is if you can communicate with them.
