Although my T-Mobile plan gives me 5GB/month in 215 different destinations around the world.
One possibility is 3HK's 365 APAC package for HK$268. It comes with 12 GB of Travel data, plus another 5GB of Travel Social data, a HK phone number and can receive SMS messages free. On can pay for it and renew it using a foreign credit card.
