HKBN is best known for fibre broadband; its mobile plans are a newer business. As of 26 August 2026, the GoPlan (goplanhk.com) database lists only 5 HKBN mobile plans, with monthly fees from $81 to $148, and all are 5G plans. Below we break down the pros, cons, suitable users and value for money to help you decide whether HKBN is worth choosing.

The basics: few choices but clear positioning

HKBN doesn't have many mobile plans in our database. Out of 142 plans across the six main carriers in Hong Kong, HKBN accounts for just 5 — the fewest among the six. The upside is you don't need to spend much time comparing, and the chance of picking the wrong plan is relatively low. All 5 plans are 5G, with monthly fees starting at $81 and topping out at $148, suited to users who want mid-range 5G data without comparing plans one by one. HKBN also has 10 home broadband plans, priced from $88 to $998. If you're already a broadband customer, you can also ask the operator about any mobile plan offers.

Pros: $81 gets you 45GB plus unlimited use of 15 apps

The standout is the $81/45GB plan. For an entry-level price, 45GB of local data is fairly generous, and it includes unlimited usage of 15 video and social apps, so using those apps won't eat into your local data. This design suits users who constantly scroll short videos, reply on WhatsApp and spend time on social platforms, helping them save a chunk of data. Another point is all plans are 5G — you won't be downgraded to 4G just because you're paying less — which is attractive for those wanting affordable 5G.

Cons: limited choice and no entry-level option below $80

The biggest limitation of HKBN's mobile plans is the lack of choice. Compared with 3HK (33 plans), CMHK (23), csl/1O1O (22) and SmarTone (58), HKBN clearly doesn't compete on quantity. The minimum monthly fee is $81, so there's no entry-level option below $80, making it less suitable for users on a very tight budget or those who just want a number to keep active. In addition, the database doesn't record the contract length for the $81/45GB plan, so be sure to ask how long you'll be locked in before signing — don't rush in just because the price looks low.

Who is HKBN suitable for?

  • Already an HKBN broadband customer and want to manage everything on one bill or check for bundling discounts
  • Use at least 45GB of mid-range 5G data each month but don't want to pay flagship plan prices
  • Frequently use the designated video or social apps and want to save local data through unlimited app usage
  • Prefer a simple, straightforward choice and don't want to compare dozens of plans

Recommended value-for-money plans

If you have to choose within HKBN, two plans are worth the most attention.

  • $81/45GB: The value pick. 45GB plus unlimited use of 15 apps is attractive at this price, making it suitable for heavy social media and video users. Remember to confirm the contract length and FUP speed before signing.
  • $91/30GB: A short 28-month contract. Although it has 15GB less data than the $81 plan, the contract length is clearly 28 months, making it suitable for users who want to reduce their lock-in period and stay flexible. If you expect you might switch carriers or move home in about two years, this is the safer choice.

How it compares with other carriers

All five HKBN mobile plans are priced from $81 to $148. Compared with the monthly fee range of all 142 mobile plans in Hong Kong ($58 to $739), HKBN sits in the low-to-mid range, with no ultra-expensive flagship options and no ultra-cheap choices at the $58 or $68 level. If your budget is around $100, HKBN's $81/45GB is genuinely competitive; but if you want a lower monthly fee or more plan variety to mix and match, you may need to look at CMHK (from $68) or 3HK (from $58).

Two more things to check before signing

First, the actual list of apps with unlimited usage. We know it includes 15 video and social apps, but the database doesn't record exactly which 15, so you must rely on HKBN's latest official announcement — especially whether the platforms you use most are included. Second, contract length and early termination fees. The $91/30GB plan is a 28-month short contract, but the contract length of the $81/45GB plan isn't recorded, and this directly affects your total cost and flexibility.

Overall, HKBN's mobile plans have a clear proposition: rather than attracting customers with a huge range or ultra-low prices, they use a small but focused set of 5G plans to appeal to users who want to simplify the decision and need a moderate amount of data. If you're already an HKBN broadband customer, it's even more worthwhile to spend a little time asking about mobile plan offers in store or on the official website — you could save more.
