Find the best eSIM for Taiwan
Reviews
Write a reviewFast enough but the game I play, Azur Lane, IP blocks access to global server.
Easy to use through the app, the price was very good (and there are coupons around through many sponsors if you search). But was kinda slow at times, up to the point it was unusable for ~1h. Difficult when relying on Google Maps for bus transfers.
So far all the esims I've got with mobimatter worked flawless, in Taiwan I had to adjust the connection network manually once, but it was a minor issue.
The esim works but there is a undocumented step in the process.
After you scan your qr code, save the esim to the phone, enable data roaming, etc, It still wont work because you need to REGISTER it with 3 hong kong via a url (even though it says kyc registration not required, it actually is). I only figured this out after ripping my hair out and scrolling reddit for 2 hours.
you need to look at your phone's settings, get the phone number of the phone plan and register it with the url:
https://www.three.com.hk/prepaid/account/en/rnr-reg
(you can only visit this site when it shows you are connected to carrier (ensure it is only chunghwa telecom ONLY ) and but not the internet (pic attached) )
once you open the url, you need to type the word passport in document section and provide a passport number in the document number section. then a green checkmark box will say success.
after wait around 5 minutes, put into airplane mode and turn off, then it will work.
Like the process is very confusing because they don't tell you this but it is the cheapest data provider for 22 AUD which is hilarious.
The eSIM works well as expected in the 3 countries I visited recently: UK, Thailand, Taiwan. They send reminders when data is almost used up.
