Hello,

We have a U.S. based client who has a new staff member that will be living in Hong Kong, but spend a fair amount of time in the U.S. This person will also be calling the U.S. frequently from Hong Kong. They are asking for recommendations for a cell plan that won't result in high roaming and international fees and I have a pretzel in my head.

It seems that the carrier should be Hong Kong based since that is where they will be the majority of the time, but they need something that will provide reasonable rates for international travel and calling. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks...

Dual SIM phone, one SIM on US carrier, other on HK carrier. However calling US from HK using HK carrier is the thing you need to check on.

You may want to use something aside from a phone call for this, Skype, or other video/audio service that used the internet instead of phone service.

Thanks! We are looking into setting up a PBX in HK and bridging it with the one here. Then the cell phones can be forwarded across the bridge at no cost. Still need to test this, but should work.
