Four travel-data nightmares
One bad trip is all it takes
Airport SIM queues
Fresh off a long-haul flight and stuck at a kiosk, negotiating in a language you don't speak at tourist prices.
Roaming bill shock
Forget to switch off data roaming once and come home to a phone bill that costs more than the hotel.
Losing your own number
Pull your physical SIM and banking SMS codes, calls and notifications all go missing for the whole trip.
Stranded offline
Ride-hailing, maps, translation: everything needs data, and the moment you land with no signal is the worst.
Three steps to land connected
Easy even for first-time eSIM users
Pick a destination plan
Choose your country, data amount and duration online. Prices show in TWD or USD, and short-stay plans start at just a few dollars. Nothing gets shipped.
Enter OPEN75 at checkout
Apply promo code OPEN75 on the checkout page and new customers get 25% off everything. Your install QR code arrives right after payment, so you can set everything up before departure.
Scan and go online
Scan the QR code to install the eSIM, then connect the moment you land. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps receiving texts.
Why eSIM 226
Travel data, compressed into scanning one QR code
190+ destinations
Plans across Asia, Europe, the Americas and Oceania, covering popular stops like Japan, the US, Korea, Thailand and Singapore.
Instant activation
Your QR code arrives immediately after purchase. Scan to install: no shipping, no storefront, no SIM ejector pin.
Keep your own number
The eSIM handles mobile data only, so your physical SIM stays put and banking SMS codes still arrive.
No roaming charges
You're on local rates rather than carrier roaming, so there's no bill shock waiting when you get home.
Flexible short stays
Plans are priced by duration and data, so a short trip doesn't mean buying a full month. Japan 3GB for 15 days runs about $3.40.
TWD and USD pricing
The site is in Traditional Chinese with a currency toggle, making it straightforward for travelers from Taiwan to compare.
What stands out
Travel eSIMs have rewritten how getting online abroad works. The old routine was landing, finding a kiosk, comparing prices and swapping cards; now you buy online before departure and scan a code on arrival. eSIM 226 follows that model, with 190+ destinations and a Traditional Chinese interface that keeps the buying process low-friction for travelers from Taiwan.
Pricing is where it gets interesting: plans are split by duration and data, so a short trip doesn't force you into a monthly bundle. Tiers like Japan 3GB for 15 days at roughly $3.40, or the US 5GB for 30 days at about $6.62, generally beat buying at an airport counter. Prices shift with promotions, so check the live rate before you travel.
