Frequently asked questions
How much does the Japan eSIM cost?
The Japan 50GB 30Days (IIJ) plan costs $27.20 for 50 GB over 30 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.
Will this eSIM work on my phone?
It works on any eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked phone — iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and recent Samsung Galaxy models.
Can I keep my regular number?
Yes. The eSIM runs alongside your normal SIM, so you keep your number for calls and texts while using data in Japan.
Comments & questions
Beatriz B. · 1 month ago
Does the validity start on purchase or on first use?
First use. Buying in advance does not eat into your days.
Priya F. · 2 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.

Will this keep my WhatsApp active with my home number?
Yes. The eSIM handles data while your normal SIM stays active, so WhatsApp keeps your usual number.
Isabella P. · 7 months ago
Can I use this for hotspot/tethering?
Yes, hotspot and tethering are supported. It uses your plan data as normal.
Carlos D. · 7 months 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.
Zoe T. · 8 months ago
Is 5G supported or just 4G?
Yes, 5G where available. Coverage depends on the local operator in that country.
Lucia H. · 8 months ago

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.
