hi all,
i am in taiwan now. i arrived at taipei airport terminal 2 travelling in sq flight.
i am also in search of taiwan da ge da, as i had read about this forum.
after collect all the bags, clearance then walked to the arrived hall. after that u have to turn left, then after a few steps turn left again. then you will see
some telco booths there, you will not miss it.
taiwam mobile ( taiwan da ge da ) is there.
yes, who forum messages mentioned above is correct for the price plan.
as for me , travelling with my wife with iphone 3gs and 4 respectively, we bought a normal 3g sim card and a small micro sim card for the iphone 4. (those who need one for iphone4, no problem, they have sim card for u).
we opt for for a 5 days 3g data plan each.
each cost nt$345. we did not purchase for voice,
as the staff told us, it still has some value inside ( i think is nt$5) if u really need voice call later, can easily topup voice or even top up 1 day ,3days or another 5 days later.
we did not bother to get voice because, since everyone in the travelling group are using iphones,
----------------
data topup
1 day nt$100
3 days nt$250
5 days nt 350
--------------------
we can simply uae WhatsApp ,imo and msn for communication.
if you need voice, then talk to the staff for voice charges.
it is recommended that to buy the 3g sim card in airport, because i notice is is kind of diffcult to locate the isp aervice center in else where, only those topup servicea r available more in 7-11 .
the apn for taiwan mobile is twm ,

eem, no need to ask me about other isp,
as i see the past messages from the forum,for this taiwan dageda.
i only go right to the booth, and pay nt$345
for one iphone 3g sim card for data plan to use for 5 days. it has extra nt$55 inside for voice and sim, or to call their customer service for topup or other help.
( for those who worry about the signal strength, here is my experience:-
uae on botj iphone 3gs and 4g :- signal very strong and ideal.
but atandby a battary , as u know iphone eats up battery fast.......
------------------------------------
oh yes please do not forget,
you really have to present your nric as a form of identification, witj effect from oct 2010, this apply to other isp.
erm, do not ask me or tell me such thing as
going oversea use passport will do, why uae nric,
anyway this is their policy, if we want to use their service, we got to follow their procedure.
as i saw another 2 pair of couples, did not bring, still argue with the staffs, as a result didnt buy.
so, dun tell me go oversea use only passport.
i read this forum, i understand it. so in order to speed up the process, i bring along. else i will be causing delaya for others waiting behind me.
( coming for tour, must be happy, dun argue)
The small telco booth is manned by all 3 operators. Right hand side after coming out of the T1 arrival hall. Taiwan mobile 7 days+1st day FOC (only unlimited data) NT$450.
