Prepaid/Disposable Phone in Taiwan?

Question

Are there Prepaid/Disposable Phone in Taiwan?
Where can I get one? Where in Taipei and Kaoshiong?
How does it work? How much does it cost?

Answer 1

yes. You can pick it up at the airport- the new terminal has some booths available inside for setting up/renting phones/prepaid cards or at the specific stores of cell service providers in every major city. Bring your passport, and it probably wont hurt to have a credit card with you.

Answer 3

No such thing as a disposable phone in Taiwan or anywhere else.

Prepaid, sure... You can get them almost in any block in Taipei.

Answer 4

You can get prepaid cards in Taiwan, but I haven't seen disposable phones. The issue is you need to have an alien resident card to purchase, otherwise a local will need to purchase on your behalf.
