Our new satellite communications VAS complements our 5G services, enabling a seamless network experience even in remote areas, demonstrating our leadership in technology.”<\/p>\n <\/a> Launch of VAS on 11 July with pre-registration starting 1 July<\/p>\n The satellite communications VAS will be launched on 11 July.

With the new 5G Data Roam-like-Home monthly plans in place, customers can now conveniently use their data in Hong Kong<\/span>, mainland China<\/span> and Macau<\/span> without paying extra roaming charges. They can even access all three major networks in mainland China<\/span>, enjoying the most comprehensive coverage. From now on, travelling across the mainland can be enjoyed with a data service experience just like being in Hong Kong<\/span>.<\/p>\n Travel in style with\u00a0upgraded 1-Card-2-Number service and number pairing<\/p>\n Having a mainland China<\/span> mobile number is necessary for uninterrupted communications when travelling in the mainland. 3 and SUPREME’s upgraded 1-Card-2-Number service, starting from a monthly fee of just $28<\/span>, enables customers to use a mainland China<\/span> phone number to send SMS and make calls to the mainland even while in Hong Kong<\/span>.<\/p>\n The upgraded 1-card-2-number plan now offers a VoLTE HD voice experience as a new feature. The plan also comes with 20 minutes of free voice calls to mainland China<\/span> every month. Furthermore, the new “dial number auto correct” function makes it simple and convenient to call mainland China<\/span> mobile phone numbers or any Hong Kong<\/span> mobile phone numbers in mainland China<\/span>, without having to enter country or city codes.<\/p>\n 3 and SUPREME have also launched a “number pairing”* service to help customers match a mainland China<\/span> phone number with the same last four digits as their Hong Kong<\/span> number. With this new feature, customers can easily share the last four digits of their mobile number for convenient use in mainland China<\/span>, such as hailing a ride or booking a restaurant.<\/p>\n The 5G Data Roam-like-Home monthly plan starts from $158<\/span>, including data of 30GB or more shared across mainland China<\/span>, Hong Kong<\/span> and Macau<\/span>. Customers opting for the upgraded 1-Card-2-Number for 24 months can enjoy a 12-month service fee waiver, making it more convenient for them to travel in mainland China<\/span>.<\/p>\n Monthly Mainland China-Hong Upgraded 1-Card-2- Contract $158<\/span><\/p>\n 30GB<\/span><\/p>\n Free for 12 months*<\/span><\/p>\n 24 months<\/span><\/p>\n $188<\/span><\/p>\n 50GB<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Customers subscribing to the 5G Data Roam-like-Home monthly plans with purchase of the HUAWEI Pura 70 Ultra before 11 July will receive a 12-month service fee waiver on the upgraded 1-Card-2-Number service and the satellite communications VAS.
