eSIM Taiwan for 15 Days: Best Plans Compared

Published May 1, 2025 · 7 min read · Taiwan eSIM Blog

The short answer

For a 15-day trip to Taiwan, our 15-day / 10GB plan at $20 is the best value you'll find. That works out to $1.33 per day for 4G LTE data across the entire island — with hotspot included. No airport SIM counter. No contract. No physical card to lose.

Who is the 15-day plan for?

The 15-day plan is built for the typical Taiwan traveler — someone spending one to two weeks exploring the island. That includes:

What does the 15-day / 10GB plan include?

Pro tip: Install the eSIM at home before your trip. The data timer only starts when your phone first connects to a Taiwan network — so scanning the QR code from your couch costs you nothing.

Is 10GB enough for 15 days in Taiwan?

For most travelers, yes — comfortably. Here's a realistic breakdown of daily data usage during a Taiwan trip:

A typical travel day — maps, messaging, some social media — uses around 300–600MB. Over 15 days, that adds up to 4.5–9GB. You'll likely have data left over. If you're streaming Netflix or making daily video calls, you'll use more, but most travelers finish the trip well under 10GB.

Comparing the three Taiwan eSIM plans

We offer three plans. Here's how they compare side by side:

Plan Data Duration Price Per Day Best For
Starter 1GB 1 day $5 $5.00 Layovers, day trips
Traveler ⭐ 10GB 15 days $20 $1.33 Most travelers — best value
Unlimited 50GB 30 days $60 $2.00 Long stays, heavy users

The 15-day plan wins on value per day for anyone staying under three weeks. Even if you stay 12 days instead of 15, you're still paying $1.67/day — far cheaper than roaming with your home carrier.

Where does it work in Taiwan?

Frequently asked questions

When do the 15 days start counting? +
The 15-day countdown starts from the moment your phone first connects to a Taiwan mobile network. You can install the eSIM weeks in advance and the timer won't start until you land.
Can I use hotspot / tethering to share data with my laptop? +
Yes. Hotspot and tethering are included in all plans at no extra cost. Your 10GB pool is shared between your phone and any tethered devices.
What happens after I use all 10GB? +
Data speeds are reduced significantly after the 10GB high-speed allowance. For continued high-speed data, purchase an additional plan.
Do I need to cancel my home SIM card? +
No. Your home SIM stays active in your phone. The Taiwan eSIM is added as a second line. You keep your home number for calls and texts, and just use the Taiwan eSIM for data.
Can I use the eSIM on two devices? +
Each QR code activates on one device only and cannot be transferred. However, you can use hotspot to share the data with a tablet or second phone.
