Taiwan eSIM questions
How much does the Taiwan eSIM cost?
Data plans start at $7.95 for 3GB over 15 days, and 10GB for 30 days is $15.95. Prices are in AUD, with no roaming charges on top.
How much data do I need in Taiwan?
Most travellers use about 1GB a day with maps, messaging and some social media, so 10GB ($15.95) covers a week. Just maps and messages? 3GB ($7.95) is enough for a week. Streaming or a laptop hotspot? Pick 50GB ($64.95). See how much data each app uses.
Which networks does the Taiwan eSIM use?
It runs on Chunghwa Telecom. You get 5G where the network has it, if your phone supports 5G, and 4G everywhere else.
Is one network enough in Taiwan?
Yes. Chunghwa Telecom is Taiwan's biggest network, with the widest 5G and 4G coverage, the mountains and offshore islands included.
Does it work at Taroko Gorge and Alishan?
Mostly. The gorge road and the Alishan villages have signal, but it drops on some trails and deep in the gorge.
Do Google Maps and LINE work in Taiwan?
Yes, nothing is blocked. Google Maps works for trains and buses, and LINE is the messaging app most locals use.
Can I use it in Japan or Hong Kong on the same trip?
No, it's Taiwan only. The Asia eSIM covers Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong and 9 more countries on one plan.
When does my Taiwan plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Taiwan. Install it on Wi-Fi a day or two before you fly: the days don't start counting until you land.
Can I use the Taiwan eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Every Taiwan plan can share its data with a laptop, a tablet or a travel partner's phone. Anything you share comes off the same plan.
Does the Taiwan eSIM include calls and texts?
No, it's data only, with no local number. Call and text over WhatsApp, iMessage or FaceTime. Your Australian number stays on your phone, so texts like bank codes still arrive.
