What a Taiwan (China) eSIM gets you

Coverage and speed

Plans for Taiwan (China) run on 3G, 4G and 5G where the local network supports it. Depending on the plan you pick, you connect through 3, 7acht, A1 and AIS and 143 other networks.

34 of these also work in other countries, so one eSIM can cover a multi-stop trip rather than needing a new one at each border.

Data and validity

Allowances range from 500 MB to 20 GB, valid for 1, 7, 15, 30, 90 and 365 days. Prices start at $2.00 USD and the largest plan is $86.50 USD.

32 of the 34 can be topped up without buying a new eSIM — worth knowing if you are unsure how much data you need.

When the clock starts

Every Taiwan (China) plan starts counting when the eSIM first connects to a network in Taiwan (China) — not when you buy it and not when you install it. You can safely install on Wi-Fi at home days before you fly.

Taiwan (China) eSIM questions

How much does an eSIM for Taiwan (China) cost?

When does a Taiwan (China) eSIM start counting?

On first connection to a network in Taiwan (China) — not at purchase and not at install. Install it on Wi-Fi before you travel and nothing is used up.

Can I keep my own number in Taiwan (China)?

Yes. The eSIM is data only and sits alongside your normal SIM, so calls and texts keep working on your usual number. Turn mobile data off for your home SIM to avoid roaming charges from your own carrier.

Which networks does it use in Taiwan (China)?

Depending on the plan, 3, 7acht, A1, AIS and AirTel and others. Speeds are 3G/4G and 3G/4G/5G where the local network supports it.

Will it work on my phone?

Your phone needs to support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. Most iPhones from the XR onwards and most recent Android flagships do. A phone locked to a carrier cannot install an eSIM however new it is.
