HK - Macau SIM card

Since I spend a lot of time in Macau these days I am looking for a better solution:

I have a HK SIM card with three and a HK-Macau prepeid SIM card with Three that costs me 0.70 HK$ per minute roaming in Macau for both receiving calls on the HK mobile number and making local calls.
The disadvantage is that this card also costs 0.70HK$ when in HK. So I need the second card and forward the calls when in Macau.
I don't want a dual number, since when I receive a call on the Macau number and have the HK number forwarded (e.g. to a landline), crazy IDD charges apply and there is no way to block those calls according tho the three staff.
Furthermore is the prepaid card is not very convenient because it is valid only for 60 days, so I have to remember to recharge all the time. There is no auto recharge by credit card as they say.

Is there a better solution with another provider? I couldn't find one yet
