I just don’t think I need to waste five days of salary to get a phone plan.

No you didn’t. But you did. You didn’t take no for an answer.
You are not a mushy immigrant who wails and moans and does nothing to help themselves. You win.

I know. But if we want to demushify the others. We have to be a little bit nicer. Just a bit.

For foreigners who want to sign up to APT and their $x99 plans

Hey everyone. This might be a bit long to read so I apologise in advance for making your eyes bleed. TLDR For the last few years I’ve been purchasing the prepaid cards for $1000 that would last for 6 months and give me about 13GB of data. However, as my needs have grown, I find that I end up eating a lot more data, and I keep buying new blocks of data. Fast forward to the Chunghwa $499 unlimited Internet craze and it gets me thinking that I should look at some of the plans, I’ve been here with…

I documented my journey here too. When we changed servers, we lost the screenshots.

The best part about this is that the MP really wanted to help despite the fact that I can’t offer my vote cause I’m not Taiwanese.

Change can be enacted. We need to speak up not only to each other but to our Taiwanese friends as well.

On one hand I get why they are being cautious as people can pull a runner but it’s a simple fix. How long has the person been in Taiwan, what’s their credit like, take deposits and give low limits to start and build up if they are trustworthy, check asset levels etc. But it’s much easier for them to say get a guarantor foreigner.

It’s such a simple solution that uses simple risk-assessment techniques…yet…It’s like they’re not paid to think, just paid to do things.

Telling them they are crying is a bit harsh. We want to encourage others that they CAN do something and they CAN stand up.

That’s just my opinion. I think we can do better with positive reinforcement. I think it’s more effective.
