I definitely want to get a local SIM card, will there be enough English labeling for me to
figure out which one I need at a 7-11? Thanks!

Definitely worth buying a local SIM for phone service, mainly because it's
so cheap in HK. As long as you have an unlocked GSM phone.
You can pick up mobile SIM cards from 7-11 or mobile stores, for as low as
HK $38 (US $5).

Thank you for the info guys!
By the way, is it worth buying a local sim card for international calls
or should stick to VOIP providers? I don't need data plans, though.
Thanks!

Hello Wikimaniacs,
Because we're here to show you awesome hospitality, there will be two
panic phones at Wikimania 2013!
They are:
(+852) 97657894 - Deryck Chan (general enquiries & HKBU dormitory)
(+852) 90772757 - Samuel Chan (transport & PolyU venue)
If you're in panic, just call either of us regardless of what your
problem actually is. Both of us are prepared to handle any problem our
fellow Wikimaniacs might have :)
*Save these numbers into your phones now!*
Both numbers are temporary numbers which are posted publicly for the
purposes of Wikimania 2013, and will be disposed of afterwards. Our
personal numbers will also remain operational throughout Wikmania.
See you in Hong Kong!
Deryck & Samuel
