Taiwan: Mobile Coverage & Carriers
Taiwan has three major mobile network operators: Chunghwa, Taiwan Mobile, and Far EasTone. All three networks commercially support 3G, 4G/LTE, and 5G services. For roaming travelers using eSIM services, the most commonly deployed LTE bands are B1 (2100 MHz), B3 (1800 MHz), and B7 (2600 MHz), while 5G coverage primarily uses n78 (3.5 GHz) with mmWave capability on n258.
Local carriers in Taiwan issue eSIMs, making it straightforward for visitors to obtain local connectivity without a physical SIM card. The widespread availability of LTE and 5G bands across the three major operators generally ensures good network coverage in populated areas, though specific coverage may vary by location and provider.
