going taiwan very soon. read that taking cash from ATM there with PLUS or Cirrus network gives lower exchange rate compare to changing money at local money exchanger.

so i was thinking, is it feasible to maybe bring over NT for a day or 2 expenses, and look for ATM once i reach there?

yalo how to activate? call up bank and ask?

and why US$$ instead of NT$? wouldn't we save on exchange rate if we change directly to NT$ instead of changing to US$ and then go NT$.

Activated CIMB thru clicks
but couldn't find overseas withdrawal in maybank2u

I'm thinking of buying a local prepaid number over there, wonder how many telcos are there and which is the cheapest for calling back malaysia?
calling using digi prepaid would cost a fortune

the problem is i don't have access to computers (especially one with mic) or a phone with skype capability when i'm there

noted, thanks bro!

thanks for the good stuff before this I thought must apply 7 days before reaching, just saw the notice that on-site application is allowed also

EDIT: just realized going that 行政院青輔會台北市青年志工中心 is a fuss for my schedule. guess I'll look for random local prepaid there hopefully lucky get telco with cheaper rate to malaysia.

once you login CIMB clicks, there's a 'Overseas Activation' there on the list of links, under 'ATM Services'

good luck, i'm going in a few days, enjoy!

maybe he want the steps after getting into clicks?
