Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest eSIM for Taiwan?
The cheapest Taiwan eSIM on MobiMatter costs $3.99 for 1 GB, valid for 14 days. Prices come live from 5 vetted providers and change often; the price on this page is the current one.
Is it worth getting an eSIM for Taiwan?
For most tourists and business travellers, yes, if your phone supports eSIM. Taiwan plans start at $3.99 for 1 GB, and you install the eSIM before you fly, so you have data when you land, without queuing for a tourist SIM at the airport. 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. Every plan names its network, so you can choose the carrier you prefer before you buy.
Which eSIM is best for Taiwan?
Our best plan for Taiwan right now is 30 GB for 30 days at $23.99 from TSimTech. We rank plans on quality and value for money, and this one comes first in the list.
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 models sold in mainland China.
Can I keep my own SIM and WhatsApp while using a Taiwan eSIM?
Yes. Your eSIM and your main SIM can be active at the same time. Use the eSIM for mobile data with data roaming on for that line, and turn data roaming off on your home SIM to avoid charges. WhatsApp keeps working on your usual number.

This is the best part... A fantastic app. I had no problems during my week-long vacation in Paris, France. I used it on my Android phone and the setup was very easy with the QR code. The package prices are also much more economical compared to other e-service providers. Plus, you don't easily use up your internet data unless you're watching videos.

I have used this app multiple times and have been really happy with the service. When I've had an issue I've been able to troubleshoot it with the online instructions and if that doesn't work it is quickly resolved.

I had a problem because I accidentally activated the wrong eSIM and couldn’t understand why my data wasn’t working. I contacted support, and they figured out the issue right away. They explained everything clearly and stayed helpful throughout the whole process. Their customer support is honestly 10/10—fast, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Everything worked perfectly once I activated the correct eSIM. Highly recommend both the service and the support team. Thank you!

I loved it! I can have data wherever I go, they have many options, the data lasts a long time and is very affordable. I used the 3GB option for Europe and I've already had data for 15 days for €5. Honestly, if you manage it well and use it only when you don't have Wi-Fi, it can easily last you thirty days. I still have 1.6 GB left (half) and I have 10 days left on the plan. Highly recommended app for eSIM 💪

I've tried many different platforms until now, but I've been using Matter for the last 3 months. The price, performance, signal strength, fast border crossings – in a single sentence, it's a perfect platform 🙏🙏🙏
