Public phones

There are two types of public phones: coined operated and card operated. If you plan to use an international calling card, you must insert a coin or card as temporary deposit. The deposit will automatically be refuned to you at the end of the call.

International roaming for mobile phones

Taiwan has a high-density mobile phone network in GSM 900/1800 standard. WCDMA 2100 is another useful standard but the total coverage is not as wide as the well-built GSM network.

Dialing codes

  • International calls

To place calls to numbers outside of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu, dial international call prefix first, and the destination's country code, followed by area code and the local number.

Although there are many telephone companies offering international call service in Taiwan, the most common one is 002 (Chunghwa Telecom). Other prefixes include 006 (Taiwan Fixed Network), 007 (Spark), and 005 (Asia Pacific Broadband Telecom).
