Common Questions

The details worth knowing about your Taiwan eSIM

The eSIM connects to Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan Mobile, FarEasTone, and GT (Asia Pacific Telecom). Chunghwa and FarEasTone have the widest 4G/5G coverage; GT relies on Taiwan Mobile's rural network and lacks 5G. This affects coverage outside cities.

Band 28 (700 MHz) is used by Chunghwa, Taiwan Mobile, and FarEasTone for 4G and 5G. If your phone lacks band 28, you may get weaker signal indoors or in rural areas. Most US and European phones missing band 28 will still work in cities on other bands like B1, B3, or B7.

The eSIM covers the main island and outlying islands, but coverage on smaller islands depends on local operator towers. Chunghwa and FarEasTone have 4G on Kinmen and Penghu; GT and Taiwan Mobile may have gaps. Mountainous central and eastern Taiwan also has significant coverage gaps across all operators.

No, data is not filtered, throttled, or blocked beyond standard fair-use limits. You get normal access to all websites and apps. There are no government-imposed content blocks for visitors. Median download speed is 69.12 Mbps according to Ookla in Q2 2025.

No, visitor eSIMs do not require SIM registration or ID submission. All 3G networks were shut down in June 2024, so your phone must support 4G or 5G on bands B1, B3, B7, B8, or B28 to get service.
