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.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Nomad offer unlimited data eSIM for Taiwan?
Nomad does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM plan for Taiwan. The plans that include “unlimited” in their name actually offer a fixed amount of high‑speed data, such as 2GB/day for the Local Taiwan packages or 37.5GB/75GB for the Regional APAC offerings, after which the speed is throttled or data usage stops. For travelers who need a larger data allowance without a daily limit, Nomad offers fixed plans like 50GB for 30 days or 50GB for 45 days, which can be more cost‑effective unless one expects extremely heavy usage.
Does Nomad offer Taiwan eSIM with phone number and SMS?
Nomad does not offer an eSIM plan for Taiwan that provides a phone number or SMS capability. The available options are data‑only plans, which enable travel with internet connectivity; travelers can use VoIP services such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage for calls and messaging over the data connection.
How many data plans does Nomad offer for Taiwan?
Nomad offers 10 single‑country data plans that can be used in Taiwan, and 26 multi‑country plans that include Taiwan’s coverage. The available plans vary in price from roughly $4 to $170, with data caps spread from 1 GB up to 75 GB and validity periods ranging from 3 to 365 days. They are organized into daily data‑cap plans (four options) and fixed data‑cap plans (thirty‑two options), giving customers a range of alternatives depending on whether they prefer a capped daily usage model or a lump‑sum data allowance.
