Free Wi-Fi in HK

WAR walking to find open Wi-Fi in Hong Kong can be an exercise in futility. There just aren’t as many networks out there (open or otherwise).

Maybe it’s because there’s lots of things to eat and things to do. And since it’s easy to get around, it encourages people to go out (unlike San Francisco).

If you go to Pacific Coffee, Starchucks (yes, they’re out here too o_o) or try to log on at HKG Airport, you will get the login page for a pay service similar to T-Mobile Hot Spot.
Except it asks for HK specific information to register for airtime. Like your HK Residence Card number. If you’re a tourist, chances are you won’t have one of these.
I have found one place that offers free Wi-Fi with a purchase. Come in, plunk down HK$34 for a yummy white chocolate mocha and log in.
Here’s how to get to Zambra Coffee in Wan Chai:
Take the MTR Island Line to Wan Chai
Exit A1 and turn right. Go down two stoplights.
Second stoplight should be Stewart Road. Cross Stewart Road (the Novotel is on your left before you cross).
Make a left and walk about 50 meters.
Corner of Jaffe Road and Stewart Road, across the street from the HK Jockey Club is Zambra Coffee.
Wah, useful!
