Frequently Asked Questions
Does Taiwan have eSIM?
Yes. Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan Mobile and FarEasTone all support eSIM and sell prepaid eSIM plans that international visitors can use. A travel eSIM bought before you fly connects to the same three networks, so you can land at Taoyuan or Songshan with data already working.

Is there one eSIM for Taiwan and Hong Kong?
Yes. Several regional plans list Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau together, often with mainland China as well, which suits a Taipei and Hong Kong combination trip. Taiwan-only plans don't work in Hong Kong. The eSIM changes to a local partner network after you land, as long as data roaming is on for that line.

Is it worth getting an eSIM for Taiwan?
For most travellers, yes, if your phone supports eSIM. Taiwan plans start at $3.99 for 1 GB, and the longest lasts 365 days, which suits long stays and repeat visits. If your home plan already covers Taiwan at no extra cost, you may not need one.
Which networks do Taiwan eSIMs use?
Taiwan eSIMs on MobiMatter run on Chunghwa, Taiwan Mobile, and FarEasTone; 5G plans are available on Chunghwa and Taiwan Mobile. Chunghwa carries the most plans. Each plan names its network, so you choose your carrier before you buy.

If Taiwan is one stop of several, the top multi-country plan is 30 GB for 30 days at $23.99 from TSimTech, covering 4 countries. If price per GB is all that matters, the lowest right now is $0.80 per GB, with 30 GB for 30 days.
How much data do I need for a week in Taiwan?
It depends on how you use your phone. Light use (maps, messaging, browsing) takes about 0.5–1 GB a day; scrolling a lot of social video can take 2–3 GB or more. Typical use per hour:
- Instagram Reels, TikTok: 0.3–1 GB
- YouTube, Netflix at standard quality: 0.5–1 GB
- Video calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime): 0.5–1 GB
- Voice calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime Audio): 50–70 MB
- Maps and navigation: 2–6 MB
- Messaging and browsing: 50–150 MB
The cheapest Taiwan plan with at least 5 GB for a week or longer is 5 GB for 15 days at $5.99.
Do Taiwan eSIMs support 5G and hotspot?
5G is available on 18 plans for Taiwan, where the local network has 5G coverage; the others use 4G/LTE. Hotspot (tethering) works on every plan, so you can share your data with other devices.
Does a Taiwan eSIM come with a phone number?
Most travel eSIMs, including most Taiwan plans, are data-only and have no local number. You keep your usual number on your main SIM for calls, texts and WhatsApp. Plans that include a number or minutes say so on the plan page.
Will my phone work with a Taiwan eSIM?
Yes, if it supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier. To check, dial *#06#: if an EID number appears, your phone supports eSIM. Most iPhones from the XS/XR on, Galaxy S20 and later and Pixel 3 and later do, except most models sold in mainland China and some sold in Hong Kong and Macao.

Awesome service. I have traveled back-and-forth between the United States and the Philippines and this app has not let me down. I strongly suggest that you check your data roaming option so this way you don’t mess up what you need to do.
