eSIM for Taiwan

Choose your package

Can I use an eSIM in Taiwan?

Yes. If your phone supports eSIM and is unlocked, you can use a travel eSIM in Taiwan just like a local SIM card, only without the plastic. You keep your home SIM in the phone for calls and messages, and the Ahlano eSIM handles your data while you travel.

Not sure about your phone? Check the list of phones that support eSIM before you buy. Most recent iPhone models and many Android phones are on it.

Which eSIM plan suits a tourist in Taiwan?

There are 12 plans for Taiwan, from USD 4.08. They differ in two ways: how much data you get, up to 20 GB, and how long the plan lasts, from 3 to 30 days.

• Short city break: a small plan covers maps, messages and a few photos shared along the way.
• A week or two of touring: pick a middle plan if you use rideshare apps, translate menus and post stories every day.
• Long stay or heavy use: choose a plan with more data and a longer validity, or the unlimited plan, which is on sale for Taiwan.

A simple tip: match the validity to the length of your trip first, then choose the data amount. If you run low, you can check the data left and top up.

Should I buy an eSIM for Taiwan?

For most travellers it saves time. You can buy before you fly, so there is no queue at the airport and no need to find a shop after a long flight. Your data is ready the moment you switch it on.
