Taiwan's three main mobile network operators are Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan Mobile and FarEasTone (FET). Coverage across Taipei, Kaohsiung and along the Taiwan High Speed Rail corridor is comprehensive and fast.
Taiwan retired its 3G network in June 2024, meaning all voice and data connectivity relies on 4G LTE and 5G networks with VoLTE.

Real-name verification requirements
The National Communications Commission (NCC) requires real-name identity verification for local Taiwanese SIM cards, often requesting a passport plus a secondary identity document at carrier counters. Overseas travel eSIMs activate without domestic NCC paperwork.

VoLTE required after 3G shutdown
Taiwan completely decommissioned its 3G mobile network on June 30, 2024. All voice and data connectivity requires compatible 4G/5G hardware with Voice over LTE (VoLTE) enabled.

Mountain and gorge coverage
Coverage along the western high-speed corridor is dense and reliable, but signal can become intermittent in deep mountain gorges such as Taroko National Park and remote central mountain ranges.

Phones bought in Hong Kong and Macao
