Customer Reviews
See what travelers are saying about their Taiwan eSIM experience. Real feedback from real users to help you pick the best plan for your trip.
“I noticed that the pay-as-you-go option does not appear in the plan listings on esimdb, which caught my attention a little. After actually using it, I personally feel this is the most convenient option.
Because it is fully usage based, you can keep using it seamlessly even when moving between countries, which is incredibly convenient. With cheaper flight tickets, long layovers at airports in China are common, and sometimes you may want to head into the city for a short while. In those situations, it feels a bit wasteful to purchase a one day plan or a large data package, so this option fits perfectly.
Airport WiFi is available, of course, but connections can be unstable, and SMS verification is sometimes required, which often makes it more troublesome than expected. That is why having the reassurance of being able to connect immediately on your own mobile line, even during immigration, feels very valuable.
Overseas roaming is also available with ahamo and Rakuten Mobile, but there are still countries that are not covered. Having this set up as a dual SIM feels like something that could really help in an emergency. I also appreciate that LINE and WhatsApp continue to work even after the main data allowance has been used up. It is a small detail, but genuinely useful.”
“It is operated by China Mobile when you use it in Taiwan. It means that you need to submit your passport info and photo in order to use it. Or, you paid and activated but you are off line.”
“Good ”
“High quality internet service”
“Bad reception”
“Fast speeds on Chunghwa Telecom's network through an Hong Kong service provider, which means that unless you connect to a VPN to override your location, websites/apps will think you're accessing them from Hong Kong. Minor annoyance for a very affordable and reliable eSIM though.”
“The sim isn't working if your don't provide your passport, I'm a taiwanese resident and can't use my card before it's transferring this data to china”
“Fast 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.”
“The eSIM activates quickly and automatically and connects to Chunghwa Telecom once you turn on data roaming on the phone. Works well as expected.”
“The SIM activates and connects to Chunghwa Telecom but doesn't have a data connection. It doesn't work. Service is not available during local daytime hours as they are on European time.”
“When your speed test app can't even connect to the network, you know you're in for a bad time...
I think the problem here is that all the eSIM solutions for Taiwan seem to be routed through Hong Kong — as such, latency ranges from barely acceptable to extremely frustrating.
Meanwhile a physical SIM from Chungwa (or Far EasTone) has fast *and* unlimited data — plus a local number; you just have the extra bother of registering with your passport at the airport.”
“I used an eSIM for the first time in Taipei between September and October 2023 (5GB/5 days = $4, which was 609 yen at that time). Initially, I couldn't set it up properly on my iPad mini 6 and had to go through some trial and error, and ask friends for advice. Eventually, after deleting an existing profile, I managed to get it working. Once it was set up, I was able to use it without any issues.
My usage was mainly for messaging, LINE calls, map searches, etc., and I only used social media occasionally, so I never exceeded the data limit nor experienced any connectivity issues. I didn't measure the connection speed, so I'm not sure about that.
However, since I had to delete the profile I usually use in Japan, I had to reinstall and reconfigure it upon returning, which was a bit of a hassle. So, it might not be the best choice for someone who finds that process daunting. But the affordability was a plus.
As an aside, when I used MayaSIM on a later trip to Hawaii, I didn't need to delete any existing profiles. It connected to the internet within minutes of activating it at the arrival airport, and it was very convenient to be able to check my data usage on the dedicated website, receive an email notification when I had used half my data, and purchase additional data. Highly recommended.”
“Purchase was easy and straightforward. Their eSIM worked well in Taipei, with download speed of around 80Mbps and latency of 120ms (Hong Kong IP address). I got 5G most of the time.”
“Cheap, but bad connection quality. When surfing, it get disconnected regularly. For voice calls, it gets disconnected so often that it's almost impossible to talk.
Opened a ticket several days ago. No news...”
“Reselling cards from 3HK, which is normally alright (Korea, Japan, etc) but not Taiwan. Latency when using this card in Taiwan is very high, over 200 ms (Hong Kong is less than 100 Km away). Also a lot of sites block access with this provider, including Netflix for example. Speed is alright, but latency makes it at times unusable.”
“Poor reception at times, routing via Israel with very high latency, some pages do not even open.”
“Card works great, routed via Hong Kong 1010 network. It appears to be limited to 80 Mbps. Other cards from other operators can easily do 200 or 300 Mbps on the same roaming network and same locations.”
“Airalo in Asia is definitely bad. The Pie Zie card gave me an IP From Israel, very high latency and slow speeds.
In Japan, often lost signal with Airalo.
In Korea, same as Japan.”
Taiwan Travel eSIM FAQ
Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Taiwan
How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Taiwan, and how many prepaid data plans are there?
There are more than 230 travel eSIM providers and over 13, 100 prepaid data plans available for use in Taiwan. With a wide variety of options, travelers can easily find an eSIM that suits their needs.
Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Taiwan?
Yes, several providers offer unlimited data eSIM plans for Taiwan. The available options range in price from roughly $2.50 for the shortest validity up to about $40.75 for the longest period. Plans typically include 5G connectivity, support for tethering, and are subject to speed throttling. Maximum speeds vary; some plans cap the speed at 5 Mbps, while others allow up to 10 Mbps, and a few do not specify an explicit limit. Popular unlimited‑data providers in this region include ASIMGO, abesteSIM, MicroEsim, Roamify, Earth Esim, esimzon, Giga.Tel, Yesim, SparkRoam, and FairPlay, giving travelers a range of pricing and speed options to choose from.
What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Taiwan?
Chunghwa Telecom: "Taiwan's largest telecommunications company, offering extensive coverage and a wide range of services."
Taiwan Mobile: "A major provider known for its comprehensive mobile services and strong network infrastructure."
Far EasTone Telecommunications: "Offers robust mobile services with a focus on innovative solutions and customer satisfaction."
Asia Pacific Telecom: "Provides mobile and fixed-line services, emphasizing competitive offerings and customer service."
Taiwan Star Telecom: "Focuses on mobile communication services with a commitment to expanding network coverage and quality."
In Taiwan, Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) offer mobile services by leasing access from major carriers. One example is Vibo Telecom, which provides various mobile services to consumers. However, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) rather than MVNOs.
Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Taiwan?
Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS are available for use in Taiwan. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, Roamify, Orange Travel, FlyEsim.me, Simbye, and Stixrs offer plans that provide an inbound and outbound voice number and SMS capability. The numbers are issued from other countries – most plans use a US dialing code +1, while several use a French dialing code +33 – so they are not local Taiwan numbers. Each plan includes inbound and outbound voice and SMS, though the voice and SMS allowances vary by plan. Prices for these plans begin around $4 for a 1GB, 7‑day plan, with larger packages and longer validity periods ranging up to $39 for a 20GB plan over 30 days. Travelers wishing to use a local Taiwan number would need to look for plans that list the Taiwan dialing code +886, which are not currently available in the dataset for phone number and SMS support.
