Well-developed in Hong Kong, there are a variety of communication tools in it, we usually use more is the mobile phone, fixed line phones . But do not say you do not know, Hong Kong's communication tools are still more!
The first kinds is mobile phone service
Cell phone service is the most commonly used communication tools in Hong Kong, Hong Kong's mobile communications services operators, with the majority of their overseas counterparts signed a roaming mobile telecommunications service contract, so that visitors were able to use the existing private mobile communications in Hong Kong as a tool. We recommend that you start before your network service provider inquiries about services and charges to ensure that its roaming service coverage in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is more advanced communication tools !
Hong Kong's mobile communications network can support GSM900, PCS1800, CDMA, and 3G systems. Visit to Hong Kong, you can easily use the light of domestic mobile phone!
This is the mobile phone services in Hong Kong the most commonly used communication tools in Hong Kong !
If you decide not to bring their own cell phone to Hong Kong, then you arrival can also rent mobile phones at Hong Kong International Airport.
In addition, can buy a pre-paid calling card for temporary use.
The two kinds is fixed-line phone
This communication tool throughout in Hong Kong, in the hotel used to be charged by Hong Kong's local telephone or pass the bill, ask the waiter before use it. The use of public telephones is the need to vote 1 yuan coins have five minutes of local talk time. In Hong Kong is a very cheap communication tool.
Hong Kong's fixed-line telephone service providers charge a monthly fee in the form of fees (regardless of the amount of the monthly use for ), so in the general store or restaurant to use Hong Kong's local telephone is basically free of charge. This is a decision in Hongkong history!
The three kinds is postal services
Postal services in Hong Kong had a long history as a communications tool s! General Post Office is located in the Star Ferry Pier on Hong Kong Island side of Middle Road, Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon and 10. Cheap and reliable postal services in Hong Kong. However, in Hong Kong with the postal service as a communications tool is fewer and fewer! This is because the current international status of Hong Kong's growing !
The four kinds is Internet service
The final of this communication tool in Hong Kong is the Internet service, and in many hotels offer Internet services ,such as hotels, some cafes, major MTR stations, major shopping malls, and public libraries also have Internet services.
This is advanced communication tools in Hong Kong,and Hong Kong's major shopping malls and coffee shops can be connected to wireless broadband Internet services; Internet service communications tools need a modem (Modem) should pay attention to the Hong Kong system
