Connects via: 🇭🇰 — Every plan for this destination routes through Hong Kong, so anything that works out where you are from your IP address will place you there rather than at your destination — streaming libraries and local services included. TikTok is not available in Hong Kong at all. Ordinary browsing, messaging and calls are unaffected. Worth knowing before you buy: an eSIM cannot be refunded once it has been installed.
