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.

I used it in Italy in 2024 and in Spain in 2026, and I was very satisfied. The app has improved day by day, and I never experienced any issues. I don't know about other apps, but I highly recommend MobiMatter. I bought 15GB of internet in Spain, and even though I didn't use that much, I still have 10GB left.

I bought two esims for two different countries because mobimatter has affordable prices. I had an issue connecting the second esim. The helpdesk responded fast. It turns out I was using the first eSIM instead of the second. Thanks for good data in both countries and for responding fast!

"A very good platform for purchasing equipment. It's very easy to use. The interface is quite user-friendly. I never experienced any service issues. I went underwater in Thassos, it's hard to believe, but even there it worked perfectly."
