3 Hong Kong offers free 5GB data SIM cards

3 Hong Kong will offer free “myTV Super” 5GB data SIM cards at 3Shops and other designated outlets starting mid-March.

The card enables mobile users to watch Television Broadcasts (TVB) programs from 30 thematic TV channels for 30 days via the new “myTV Super” paid mobile app.

3 Hong Kong’s ultra-fast 4G LTE network makes popular Hong Kong, Japanese and Korean dramas – along with classic Cantonese movies, animation, variety shows and children’s programmes – available to mobile users on the move. Offer available while stocks last.

Customers must register online to activate an account, before inserting the data SIM card and downloading the “myTV Super” app.

This will allow them to enjoy 5GB of free data usage to access TVB’s 30 thematic channels for 30 days. 3 Hong Kong customers can use the “myTV Super” app for 30 days free of charge without changing SIM card.

“We provide an open and neutral platform for various OTT content providers via our high-speed, high-capacity content delivery network, along with world-class data center services,” HTHKH COO Jennifer Tan.

“Handing out free data SIM cards is an unprecedented way for us to promote 3 Hong Kong’s advanced network alongside compelling content from TVB,” said Tan. “We aim to enable users to be the first to experience free TV programs and enjoy the best ‘videotainment’ while on the move through use of the ‘myTV SUPER’ app on mobile devices. We believe this represents a new trend in mobile entertainment.”
