## Good to know

### Install before you fly

Install it at home on Wi-Fi. It stays off until you switch it on for data at your destination.

### Keep your own SIM

Your usual SIM stays in for calls and texts. Set the Veela eSIM as your line for mobile data.

### Help when you're there

The assistant answers in your language at any hour, and a person picks up anything it can't fix.

## Tips for Hong Kong

- The MTR, ferries and buses accept Octopus and, increasingly, contactless cards; plan routes with Citymapper or Google Maps.
- Going on to Shenzhen or Guangzhou? The Hong Kong plan doesn't cover mainland China; the Asia regional plan covers both.
- Hong Kong has dense coverage including in the MTR, so even a small plan goes a long way on a short visit.

## Hong Kong eSIM questions

**Does it work in Macau?**

Not the Hong Kong plan. The Asia regional plan covers Hong Kong, Macau and mainland China.
**Do Google and WhatsApp work?**

Yes, in Hong Kong they work on any network, as they do at home.
**When does the plan start?**

When the eSIM first connects to a network in Hong Kong. Installing it at home doesn't start the clock.
**Is my phone compatible?**

Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number and your phone is unlocked, it works. See the [compatibility checker](https://veela.io/compatibility/) for common models.
**Can I top up?**

Yes. From your account, add data to the same eSIM without reinstalling it.
