The second way is to use free wifi in Macau.

The third way is to rent a portable wifi hotspot on the market.

Inferior quality:

The calling card may not match the model of the mobile phone (for example, the mobile customized version may not be able to use the calling card of this country because of different standards, so please consult customer service when buying a calling card);

Summary:

If a young couple or two or three friends travel together, it is better to buy an Internet card, and it is also convenient to check the hotel and book a hotel.

If you are traveling for a family or a group, you can consider renting a portable WiFi, which is simple to operate and has a large traffic. Sharing the internet speed will not be as difficult as cell phone hotspots.
