The best Taiwan data plan matches the trip length, daily activity and route. City navigation uses less data than video streaming, remote work or sharing a hotspot.
Rail travel and mountain routes also make network coverage important alongside the allowance.
NoveSIM plans are data-only and do not include a Taiwanese number, calls or SMS.
Quick answer: Allow 1–3 GB for a short light-use trip, 5–10 GB for typical travel and 15–20+ GB for frequent video or work. Compare unlimited-style plans only after checking fair-use speed and hotspot rules.
