Does the Taiwan eSIM include a phone number?
No. It is a data-only eSIM, so it has no phone number for calls or SMS. Your own number stays on your usual SIM, and apps such as WhatsApp and FaceTime work over the eSIM's data.
Can I keep my own SIM in my phone?
Yes. Most eSIM phones support dual SIM, so your usual SIM and the eSIM work side by side and you choose which one is used for data.
What if I run out of data?
Buy another plan from this page and install it the same way as the first. My eSIMs lists all your eSIMs and the data each one has left.
When should I install the eSIM?
Install it before you leave, while you are on Wi-Fi, and switch the line on when you arrive in Taiwan. The first connection to a network can take a few minutes.
