Do I need a local phone number in Taiwan?

No. An eSIM provides data connectivity only. For calls, use VoIP apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, or local messaging apps.

Should I activate my eSIM before arriving?

Yes — we recommend installing and activating your eSIM before you board your flight so you have connectivity the moment you land.

Can I use my eSIM as a hotspot?

Most eSIM plans allow tethering/hotspot usage, but some providers restrict it. We flag hotspot support on each plan card.
