Our verdict
FarEasTone sells straight from its own network in Taiwan, with sim only and eSIM both offered and entry pricing from TWD 149 a month. It suits people who want unlimited data from the operator itself rather than a reseller, and its commitments run 12 and 24.

Pros and cons
Pros
- The cheapest line on the range is also the unlimited one: entry pricing is TWD 149 and unlimited data is priced at TWD 149.
- Sim only is offered and eSIM is included, so you can bring your own handset and set up a line without a store visit.
- Contract terms run 12 and 24, so you can take the shorter or the longer commitment from the same range.
- Hotspot sharing and a multi line discount are both included, which suits tethering and households running extra lines.
- Support runs on phone, email and help centre, so you can phone or email as well as use the help centre.
Cons
- Roaming in Europe is paid, so trips abroad add cost instead of coming with the plan.
- Billing covers contract and prepaid terms only, so there is no rolling monthly option for avoiding a commitment.
- The service is listed for TW, so the pricing and the plans do not travel to another market.
Who it suits
- People in Taiwan who want unlimited data from the network itself rather than through a branded reseller.
- Households adding a second line or tethering, since hotspot sharing and a multi line discount are included.
- Travellers who can budget European roaming separately, because roaming is paid.
Who should look elsewhere
- yesss!, whose billing mix in contract, rolling and prepaid includes a rolling option alongside contract and prepaid, if leaving a contract quickly matters.
- GETESA, whose prepaid and contract mix also covers prepaid, if you prefer buying in small top ups rather than a longer commitment.
- Budget-first shoppers chasing the lowest entry price, since Lonestar Cell MTN lists $0.20 while FarEasTone starts at TWD 149.
What it does well
FarEasTone is a network seller rather than an MVNO, so plans come from the operator that runs the network. Sim only is offered, which means you can bring your own handset and pay for the line on its own. eSIM is included alongside the physical option, so a new line does not have to wait on a card arriving in the post, and 5G is available on the plans listed. Hotspot sharing is part of the range for tethering, and a multi line discount applies to extra lines, which makes a family group cheaper than paying the headline price for each line separately.
Pricing
Entry pricing starts at TWD 149 a month, and that entry figure belongs to an unlimited plan rather than to a small allowance bundle. Unlimited data is listed at TWD 149, so the lowest cost on the range is also the plan that leaves the allowance uncapped. The reference plan prices show a metered plan with a fixed monthly allowance, a light unlimited plan whose speed is throttled once you lean on it, and a faster unlimited plan with a higher speed ceiling. The metered plan and the throttled unlimited plan sit on the shorter commitment, while the faster unlimited plan runs for longer. Contract terms run 12 and 24, and billing covers contract and prepaid options, so a contract line and a prepaid line sit on the same range.
Who runs it
FarEasTone is operated by Far EasTone Telecommunications Co., Ltd., headquartered in Taiwan. Because the seller and the network are the same company, there is no reseller layer between you and the tariff. Support runs on phone, email and help centre, so you can phone, email or work through the help centre for billing and technical questions.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a FarEasTone line cost each month?+
FarEasTone lists entry pricing from TWD 149 a month, and that entry figure belongs to an unlimited plan rather than a capped allowance. Unlimited data is priced at TWD 149, so the cheapest line on the range leaves the allowance uncapped. Contract terms run 12 and 24.
Does FarEasTone sell SIM only plans?+
Sim only is offered, so you can bring your own handset and pay for the line alone. Entry pricing starts at TWD 149 a month and the commitment runs 12 and 24, so the length of the contract is the main thing to weigh before signing up.
Can I get an eSIM from FarEasTone?+
eSIM is included alongside the physical option, so a line can be activated without waiting on a card in the post. The plans sit on 12 and 24 terms and billing covers contract and prepaid, which means an eSIM line can be paid as a contract or prepaid.
How long is the FarEasTone commitment?+
Contract terms run 12 and 24, so you choose between a shorter commitment and a longer one on the same range. Billing covers contract and prepaid options rather than a rolling monthly plan, so a prepaid line is the route if you want to keep the commitment light.
Is European roaming included in a FarEasTone plan?+
Roaming in Europe is paid, so it sits outside the monthly fee and has to be budgeted separately for travel. Plans themselves start at TWD 149 a month in the home market, which is where FarEasTone operates.
How do I reach FarEasTone support?+
Support runs on phone, email and help centre, so phone, email and a help centre are the listed routes for account and billing questions. Queries go to Far EasTone Telecommunications Co., Ltd., the company behind the brand, which keeps the account and the network under a single name.
Is there a discount for extra lines or tethering?+
Hotspot sharing and a multi line discount are both part of the range, so tethering and extra lines are covered. Every listed plan sits on a 12 and 24 commitment, which is the number to weigh if you are adding a line for someone else.
Does FarEasTone work outside Taiwan?+
FarEasTone is listed for TW, and the operator is headquartered in Taiwan. Pricing is quoted in local currency, so the entry figure of TWD 149 is aimed at buyers in that market rather than at visitors comparing tariffs in another currency.
