Questions about Macau eSIMs
Does a Macau plan reach Hong Kong?
Read the coverage list on this page before you count on it.
Hong Kong has its own networks and is its own entry on a plan, so one bought for Macau is not promised anywhere beyond what that list names.
Will the plan work deep inside a building?
Nobody can promise that.
Thick walls and levels below ground take a bar off any phone, and the coverage list on this page answers for Macau rather than for one room, so expect less the further in you go.
Is a plan worth it for a night or two?
If the evening is booked by phone, probably.
Being without data on a night out means a missed table and a long wait for a car, which is more annoying than paying for the smallest plan on this page.
What about the crossing over the water?
Treat it as offline.
Nothing on this page promises a bar out on the water, so have the ticket, the terminal and the name of your hotel on the screen before you walk on.
How do I get a car back to the hotel late at night?
On the phone, like everything else, which is the reason to have data of your own rather than a password you borrowed at dinner.
Save the hotel name in writing as well, so there is something to show a driver.
Do I turn my usual data roaming off?
Leave it off and the question of a surprise bill goes away.
Your own number still rings and still takes a text, while everything that wants data draws on the plan from this page instead.
Questions about every Ryvo plan
Will it work on my phone?
Does it come with a phone number?
No.
Ryvo eSIMs are data only.
There's no phone number, and you can't make calls or send texts on the eSIM itself.
Can I keep my usual number?
Yes.
Keep your main SIM on for calls and texts, and set the eSIM as your mobile data line.
Your carrier's roaming rates still apply to calls and texts, so check them before you go.
Can I share my data as a hotspot?
It depends on the plan.
Each plan says whether hotspot is allowed before you pay.
What if I run out of data?
Add data from your order page if your plan can be topped up.
If it can't, buy another plan for the same destination.
What if my eSIM won't connect?
Email us and we'll work through it with you, starting with your phone's mobile data settings.
If we can't get it working, our refund policy explains what happens next.
Before you go
The coverage list on this page names Macau and the network your plan sits on.
It answers for the place as a whole, so a basement room or a car park under a tower is nobody's promise.
Have the booking, the table time and the address in writing on the phone before you set out for the evening.
A doorway at night is a poor spot to go hunting for an email.
A plan of your own means you are not asking a hotel desk for a password every time you walk back in, and it goes with you when you leave the building.
Keep your usual SIM switched on for calls and texts, and choose the eSIM for mobile data.
