How much does the Japan eSIM cost?
The Japan 2GB/Day (IIJ) plan costs $3.20 for 2 GB/day over 1 days, paid once with no hidden fees.
How do I activate my Japan eSIM?
Scan the QR code in your phone settings (Cellular/Mobile → Add eSIM) or tap Install in the eSIM TopUp app. Install on Wi-Fi before your trip; it activates when you arrive in Japan.

Comments & questions

Can I use this for hotspot/tethering?
Absolutely, Anna — tethering and hotspot work fine on the Japan eSIM, so you can share data with a laptop or travel buddy. Just keep an eye on your data since it all comes out of the same plan. – James

How do I check how much data I have left?
It is in the app under My eSIMs, and on your account dashboard on the website.
Ananya B. · 1 month ago
Do I need to install it before I travel or after I arrive?
Before — install on Wi-Fi at home. The plan only starts once it connects at your destination.

Can I use it in nearby countries too?
That depends on the plan — country plans work in that country only, while our regional and global plans cover multiple destinations.
Priya N. · 10 months ago
Can I top up the same eSIM instead of buying a new one?
Yes, if the plan supports top-up you can add data to the same eSIM rather than installing a new one.
Marco V. · 10 months ago
Does the validity start on purchase or on first use?
Validity starts on first connection at your destination, not at purchase.

Will this keep my WhatsApp active with my home number?
It does — your home number stays live for WhatsApp, calls and texts. The eSIM only carries data.
