Taiwan eSIM FAQs
No - our Taiwan travel eSIMs are data - only, so they don’t come with a voice line or phone number. Any calls or texts must go through internet apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, or Viber.
No, your plan only starts upon landing in Taiwan. Installing beforehand ensures you’re ready to go as the activation will happen automatically.
You’ll need WiFi for installation, so do it before departure and this way you will be connected as soon as you arrive.
If you run into any issues, our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide can help, or contact us directly.
No, the Taiwan travel eSIM is data - only. It won’t give you a cellular voice line. If you want to call, just fire up WhatsApp, Telegram, or FaceTime using your data allowance.
Hands down, a travel eSIM beats roaming in Taiwan. Here’s why:
Cheaper Data: Pay local prices rather than roaming surcharges from your home network.
Instant Setup: No waiting for physical SIM delivery - your eSIM is ready the minute you land.
Full Expense Control: Track data usage and spending in - app, so you avoid surprise fees.
Your eSIM will activate automatically once you arrive in Taiwan. We advise installing your Taiwan Travel eSIM before you travel (installation is distinct from activation).
To install, just scan the QR code we send or install via the ZenSim app over WiFi. On landing in Taiwan, the eSIM will switch on by itself.
If you have any problems, check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact us 😊
Of course. You can install your Taiwan eSIM up to 30 days before departure. Once you arrive, it will activate automatically.
Installing early won’t use any data or start your plan until you arrive in Taiwan.
If your iPhone shows an activation error during pre-install, you can ignore often it - refer to our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide for help.
Single-country eSIMs like the Taiwan one are only valid within that country once activated.
For travel across borders, a regional plan might suit you better - our regional Travel eSIMs cover multiple countries in one.
Yes, you can. Around 99 percent of our eSIMs allow quick and easy top ups through the ZenSim app. You can add more data, increase the days, or even include a different destination on the same eSIM right from the Zen Garden.
Open the app, go to the Zen Garden area, and you’ll see the top up button waiting for you.
Travelling for a while: If your trip lasts more than 30 days, you can queue multiple top ups. None of them will interrupt your current plan because each one only activates when the previous eSIM expires.
Travelling to more destinations: Most eSIMs let you attach extra countries via a top up. For example, if you're heading home from Europe and stopping in Singapore, you can add Singapore to your Europe eSIM and it will switch on once you arrive.
Once you arrive in Taiwan, your eSIM activates automatically if it’s already installed.
If you install it after arriving, the eSIM will activate and begin working immediately.
For any setup or connection problems, refer to our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact our support.
Yes - ZenSim’s eSIMs work in 200+ countries, and Taiwan is included. For travellers needing multiple-country access, we offer regional eSIMs. You can find those on our Travel eSIMs page.
Connection Problems: If your Taiwan eSIM isn’t loading data, check our troubleshooting post. If that doesn’t do it, contact us and we’ll get you fixed up.
