“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.”
GIGAGO does not provide any unlimited data eSIM plan for Taiwan. The only options listed for travelers to Taiwan are fixed‑data packages, each offering 20GB of high‑speed data for periods ranging from 3 days to 15 days. For example, a 20GB plan is available for 3 days at $14.90 USD and for 5 days at $15.90 USD. These fixed data plans can be more cost‑effective for most travelers unless a very heavy data user prefers an unlimited option.
GIGAGO does not offer a Taiwan eSIM that comes with a phone number or SMS capability. All Taiwan plans sold by GIGAGO are data‑only, so travelers cannot receive phone calls or text messages on that eSIM.
Travelers who need to communicate can use internet‑based messaging and calling apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection provided by the eSIM.
GIGAGO lists 48 single‑country plans for Taiwan and offers no multi‑country options. The available plans span a price range of roughly $2.90 to $68.50 and provide between 1 GB and 20 GB of data for stays of 1 to 30 days. Of the 48 plans, half are fixed‑data plans with a set data cap for the entire validity period, while the other half offer daily data caps, allowing you to pick the option that best matches your usage habits.
