In the U.S. you get T-Mobile and AT&T, which is really nice.
I can't speak for China, but I've never had any problem tethering in the U.S., Canada, India or Europe with 3HK (or 3UK for that matter).
Thanks. I also like the fact that they allow multiple plans on an eSIM / SIM and clearly lay out the order of the deduction and it is a true travel plan - not like the 3UK one where there is a "fair use" clause.
I am a little confused on the extension terms. It says "Each time you recharge your card [HKD] $20 or above, its validity will be reset that the relevant day of extension according to the recharge value to retain the remaining balance and mobile number, or else they will be fortified." Does this apply to the 365 day passes? Does the additional recharge money buy anything?
I am trying to not have a monthly plan in the US and I think these data plans make sense for me - about US$35 for 30+5 GB for a year! Now I just have to find a US voice / text service that works over the mobile phone. My Vonage bill is ridiculously high because of all the taxes and fees - I have never looked into Google Voice.
