I am moving to HK in a week. Does anyone have any advice on what is the best mobil phone service what will work anywhere? Thanks for your help.

most of the providers are good...
all are above standard, and near 95% coverage

if you rank by quality (coverage)only
1. CSL 1010
2. Smartone-Vodafone
3. 3-HK
4. New World
5. Peoples
6. Sunday (PCCW)

if you rank by price/performance
1. Smartone-Vodafone
2. 3-HK
3. CSL 1010 <------too expensive
4. Peoples <--- Very Cheap Price but acceptable Quality
5. New World
6. Sunday (PCCW)

I don't suggest 3G services. If you want to get the best voice quality, 2G is the best..

They may ask you to use a 3G sim card on a 2G phone (pusing up the subscribing rate on 3G)...it's works...but if you do not prefer 3G service, ask them to give you a 2G card.....

if your wife or kids need it, juz buy them a Peoples prepaid card.......

these are the 6 network provider (holding a license)

http://www.three.com.hk/
http://www.smartone-vodafone.com/
http://www.nwmobility.com
http://www.peoples.com.hk/
http://www.sunday.com/

(all these homepage got english version.)

apart from the above provider, there are some provider rent a network from those licensees, the service is not that good...

Not bad, but Sunday should be top 2 or 3, not bottom
