Which carrier network does the Taiwan eSIM use?
Top local carriers: Chunghwa Telecom and more. 4G/5G high-speed coverage. See the Network Coverage section above for bands and detail.
Is the unlimited data subject to a Fair Use Policy (FUP)?
All ALT eSIM plans include 1GB of high-speed data per day. After the daily 1GB is used, the speed is reduced to 128kbps with continued unlimited use; the high-speed allowance resets the next day.
Do I need real-name or ID registration?
No. ALT eSIM data eSIMs require no real-name or ID registration — just scan the QR code and go.
Does my phone support eSIM?
iPhone XS or later (2018+), Samsung Galaxy S20+, Google Pixel 3+ — most flagship phones from 2018+. Dial *#06# — if a 32-digit EID shows, your phone supports eSIM. Full list on the Compatible Devices page.
How do I install? Do I need Wi-Fi?
Wi-Fi is required to download the eSIM profile. iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Use QR Code. Android: Settings → Connections → SIM Card Manager → Add mobile plan. Takes 2-3 minutes.
Is it instant? When does the QR code arrive?
Yes — emailed within ~30 seconds of Stripe payment. We recommend installing on home Wi-Fi before departure and enabling Data Roaming on arrival.
Can the eSIM make calls or receive SMS?
It's data-only. Use WhatsApp, LINE, Telegram, FaceTime for calls. For bank/work SMS, keep your physical SIM active in parallel.
What if I can't connect after install?
1) Confirm Data Roaming is on; 2) Set the new eSIM as the default data line in Settings; 3) Restart your phone. Still stuck — WhatsApp our Hong Kong support team.
What's the refund policy?
All eSIM purchases are final — no refunds or returns once payment is confirmed, whether or not the eSIM has been installed or used. Please confirm destination, duration, and device compatibility before buying. See the Refund Policy page.
