An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your phone that lets you activate a mobile data plan by scanning a QR code, with no physical SIM card needed. With Gohub, there are also no roaming fees.

Will my phone work with a Taiwan eSIM?

Gohub eSIM for Taiwan works with all eSIM-capable smartphones, including iPhone XS/XR and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, and Google Pixel 3 and later. Your phone must be network-unlocked; carrier-locked devices will not accept a third-party eSIM. Check Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM on iPhone, or SIM Manager on Android, to confirm support, or use our supported devices checker.

How do I install my Gohub Taiwan eSIM?

Installing adds the eSIM to your phone. Scan the QR code from your email while on Wi-Fi: On iPhone, go to Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM. On Android, go to Settings > Connections > SIM Manager (Samsung) or Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs (Pixel and others). When you arrive in Taiwan, switch the eSIM on and turn on data roaming for it.

When does my Taiwan eSIM plan start?

All Gohub Taiwan plans activate when your eSIM first connects to a network in Taiwan, so you can install it any time before you fly. You must activate within 30 days of receiving your QR code. Unlimited and 20GB plans count each day until 11:59 PM Taiwan time (GMT+8); other plans count in 24-hour periods.

Do I need a passport to buy a Taiwan eSIM?

No. You can buy and install a Gohub Taiwan eSIM online without a passport, since data-only plans need no ID registration.

Does the Taiwan eSIM come with a phone number?

No. Gohub's Taiwan eSIMs are data-only.

Can I use hotspot with my Taiwan eSIM?

Yes. Gohub Taiwan plans support hotspot, and shared data comes out of your plan.

What happens if I run out of data or days?

Your speed drops to the level shown in Plan details. Unlimited plans give 2GB of high-speed data a day, then 5 Mbps. 3GB/day, 5GB and 10GB plans slow to 384 kbps, and 20GB plans slow to 128 kbps. The eSIM stops working when your days end.

Does Gohub eSIM work across Taiwan?

Yes. Depending on your plan, it connects automatically to Chunghwa Telecom or Taiwan Mobile, with the best signal in cities like Taipei, Taichung and Kaohsiung and weaker signal in deep mountain areas and on smaller outlying islands.

Is an eSIM better than a local SIM in Taiwan?

For short trips, an eSIM is more convenient because you can buy and install it before departure and skip the airport SIM counter. A local SIM may be better for longer stays or if you need a Taiwanese phone number.

What if my eSIM won't install or connect?

Don't delete it, because the QR code works only once. Check you're on Wi-Fi, your phone is unlocked and data roaming is on, then restart your phone. Still stuck? Contact our 24/7 support. Our 1-hour replacement covers activation and usage issues.

How does a Taiwan eSIM compare to a pocket WiFi?

An eSIM is easier: there's no device to carry, charge or return. A pocket WiFi connects several devices, but an eSIM can share data through hotspot too.

What apps should I download before traveling to Taiwan?

Google Maps works well for getting around, LINE is the messaging app most hotels and tour operators use, and Google Translate with the offline Traditional Chinese pack helps with menus and signs. Uber also operates in major cities.

Does Gohub eSIM work on Taiwan's HSR, TRA trains, and MRT systems?

Yes. Depending on your plan, Gohub connects to Chunghwa Telecom or Taiwan Mobile, with 4G/5G on Taipei MRT, Kaohsiung MRT, the Taoyuan Airport MRT and the High Speed Rail between Taipei and Zuoying. TRA trains along the east coast from Hualien to Taitung are also covered, though signal may drop briefly in tunnels and mountain sections.
