SIM Card Info (Jan 2026)
1800 NTD for 90 days unlimited data
Requires passport + second ID
Excellent coverage across Taiwan

I arrive and immediately got a SIM card at the official counter, the prices seemed reasonable and while you usually pay a premium, they ensure that it is working before you exit the airport.

They needed 2 forms of ID, my passport and a drivers or country license. That was a first for me. It was 1800 for 90 days. I have been using it heavily and the coverage was excellent all over the island.

Then took the airport express, could pay via cash 160NTD. Then transferred to blue line and made to Longshan template. stayed at meeting mates' hostel. https://maps.app.goo.gl/sffmyCrvGp7Gi...
