No, the internet is 100% open and free! This is the most common misconception. Taiwan is NOT part of Mainland China's "Great Firewall." You can freely access Google, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, and all your favorite apps without needing a VPN.
Yes, for convenience. Buying a physical "Chunghwa" or "Taiwan Mobile" SIM at TPE airport is cheap but often involves long queues, especially after a big flight lands. It also requires passport registration. Our eSIM is 100% digital, requires no ID registration, and can be installed before you fly. You will be connected the moment you land, ready to use Google Maps or order an Uber.
To give you the best speed, our eSIM connects to Taiwan’s premium Tier-1 networks, typically Chunghwa Telecom (CHT), Taiwan Mobile (TWM), or FarEasTone. These are the best operators in the country, providing some of the fastest 5G/LTE speeds in the world.
Yes, absolutely. Taiwan's infrastructure is world-class. You will have a continuous, high-speed 4G/5G signal inside the High-Speed Rail (HSR) trains and tunnels. You will also have a strong signal in major national parks like Taroko Gorge (in the main visitor areas) and Alishan.
This specific plan is valid only within Taiwan. This is a critical point. If you are on a multi-country Asia trip and fly from Taipei to Tokyo or Seoul, your connection will stop. For this, we highly recommend our Asia Regional eSIM to stay connected seamlessly across all borders.
Most modern phones do, but you must check our specific list here: eSIM Compatible Devices to be 100% sure before purchasing.
