    How do I use my mobile data eSIM in Japan?

    After activating your eSIM, you are free to use your data throughout Japan

    You can only access the internet with this eSIM while in Japan.
    After activating your eSIM, you are free to use your data throughout Japan
    • This eSIM service is for internet (data communication) only and does not support SMS (text messaging) or making phone calls. Messenger and other communications applications, such as LINE, WhatsApp, and Viber, are able to be used, however.
       
    • Public WiFi is available in Japan, but it's not as common as in other countries and often has a time-consuming login process. So if you want to be connected throughout the day with data while you travel and wish to avoid expensive roaming fees, an eSIM plan is the perfect solution.
       
    • International mobile data roaming is not supported, so the eSIM can only be used within Japan.
       
    • The internet connection provided has a 4G data plan. If your phone or device does not use frequency Band 1 (2.0 GHz) and Band 3 (1.7 GHz), your phone cannot access the internet with our eSIM internet product.
    eSIM maintenance
    The eSIM server is under maintenance every week between Tuesday 10pm and Wednesday 9am (Japan time).

    This DOES NOT affect eSIM.

    • Check the list of compatible phones for the use of your eSIM in Japan here. The eSIM is usable with certain device models and cannot be used with unsupported devices.
       
    • Your phone must be unlocked in order to use the eSIM.
       
    • If your device does not use frequency band 19 (800 MHz), the internet may be unstable in the countryside around Lake Kawaguchiko, Kyushu and Hokkaido. Most European devices are not able to be used with this band, so the eSIM speed may be slow in the Kyushu or Hokkaido countryside with many European devices.

    You can share data as much as you wish

    Tethering is available for most of the popular devices.

    Tethering is available for most of the popular devices (iPhone or Samsung Galaxy) but is not available with some other devices, mainly other Android devices that aren't part of the Samsung Galaxy line. If you want to be sure you can connect all your devices, we recommend you purchase separate eSIMs for each of them.
