How do you guys pay your post-paid sim contract? Is it possible via a debit card or a local bank account? Or is a local credit card necessary? ---

Trying to get the 599$ unlimited contract for 12 months ([台灣大哥大網路門市限定｜4G精選專案-台灣大哥大myfone 網路門市](https://www.myfone.com.tw/mfo/estore/closedsale?actCode=34599_2412)) but obviously the form doesn’t let a foreigner order online. I contacted the english support. Spoke with a lady who said it’s not possible. I asked for the supervisor to call back. He also said it’s only possible to order it online. I told him I WOULD order it online, but it’s technically impossible. I told him I would be happy to go to the store (even with a taiwanese guarantor) to close the 12 months deal there. Apparently not possible, only 24 months. I also told him it seems like foreign citizen get discriminated since they cannot use the online shop. As far as I remember I saw someone here in the forums said it is possible, they will send some form to a physical store and then you will be able to apply for the 12 months contract there. He asked me for my friends number, when I told him that (lol). He wants to ask around again and will call me back. Any way to get that settled? 🙃 ---

I had a similar situation before. Taiwan Mobile would not budge with the 1 yr contract option and kept saying it is for Taiwanese only. They want foreigners to go to the store where they can squeeze you for a two year contract. They know what they are doing as it isn’t the first time foreigners complained about this. I went elsewhere out of spite. You can contact the NCC (government agency) and complain but they weren’t helpful when I called. However the more people bitch to them they might become helpful finally. ---

> [@Mataiou](#): > > unlikely, NCC doesn’t give 2 shits They don’t but the idea is to keep harassing them. Government agencies are complacent to just keep ignoring foreigner complaints at this point.
