Best Taiwan eSIMs (Travel With Affordable Data)

Maya

The thing I love about Maya Mobile is their mix of per GB packages and a great value Taiwan unlimited data plan too. And, you can use tethering/hotspots with their unlimited plan, so it is perfect for sharing or working via your phone.

Here is a quick overview Maya’s Taiwan eSIMs (all 30-day plans):

• 1 GB for $5
• 3 GB for $8
• 5 GB for $13
• 10 GB for $19
• Unlimited for $49

One of the best things about Maya is that you can share your data via hotspot or tethering, so you can use the unlimited plan for work via your phone or with a loved one.

Maya also uses the best provider in Chungwa and Taiwan Mobile, which means they compare well with Holafly and Airalo below – they all use the same Taiwan eSIM carriers.

Airalo Xie Xie

Airalo Xie Xie jas four affordable Taiwan eSIMs for anyone who wants up to 10 GB during their trip. The prices per GB are always reasonable with Airalo, and you can see their prepaid eSIMs below:

• 1GB/7 days -$7
• 3 GB/30 days – $14
• 5 GB/30 days – $21
• 10 GB/30 days – $31.5

Airalo works with Chungwa and Taiwan Mobile. Chungwa had the fastest 5G in Taiwan in 2022, so they are definitely a great carrier.

Holafly Taiwan

Who wouldn’t want to travel around Taiwan with an unlimited data eSIM? Holalfy is hard to beat with its variety of unlimited data eSIMs, ranging from 5 days to 3 months:

• 5 days for $19
• 7 days for $27
• 10 days for $34
• 15 days for $47
• 20 days for $54
• 30 days for $64
• 60 days for $84
• 90 days for $99

Holafly also works with Chunghwa Telecom / Taiwan Mobile, so you will get a great connection, just as you would with the above deals from Airalo.

Note: If you want to work via your phone hotspot or share your data, then Holafly is not the eSIM company for you. They don’t allow data sharing on their eSIM plans. You are better off with Maya Mobile’s 30-day plan in this case.

Nomad

Nomad is another of the most reputable Taiwan eSIM providers out there. And they have eSIMs for all sorts of countries, regions and worldwide offers too.

For Taiwan Nomad uses Chungwa which is great news for a great connection and speed while surfing the internet while you are there.

Their plans and prices are as follows:

• 1GB / 7 Days – $4
• 3 GB / 15 Days: $6
• 5 GB / 15 DAYS: $9
• 10 GB / 30 DAYS: $15
• 15 GB / 30 DAYS: $19

If you feel restricted by their 15-day plans for the lower GB sizes, you can also grab their more expensive plans for longer periods. I just don’t think it is worth it!

I have used Noamd extensively in my travels and can only say good things about them. My go-to is Maya or Airalo, but sometimes Nomad has the best prices – just not in this case by a few dollars.

BNESIM

BNESIM has a few Taiwan eSIMs that you might like. Just ignore the weird pricing, no idea where that comes from:

• 1 GB for $6.17
• 3 GB for $17.96
• 5 GB for $28.98

The one big plus of the BNESIM packages is that there is no time limit on them. And, they use only Chungwa eSIMs so the speed will be great.

Note: The links below only send you to their main eSIM page so search for “Taiwan” once you are there.

Ubigi

If you want a regional Asia eSIM, Ubigi is one of the best options. They usually provide a lot of 5G connections and they have lots of different plans for Asia that include Taiwan.

Their mix of plans can get a little confusing as you have to dive in to see what countries are included, but they do have one eSIM for Taiwan which is

• 5 GB/30 Days – $15

All in all, I would not bother with Ubigi in this case unless you are traveling extensively in the region. Then they are worth exploring for sure.

We have a huge list of Asian eSIMs though, so be sure to check that out too.
