Which is the ideal eSIM package for Japan?
When it comes to choosing the right eSIM package for your journey in Japan, it’s crucial to take into account factors like your data requirements, coverage, and the length of your stay. Here are several options to consider:
| eSIM Japan Unlimited Plans: These plans offer unlimited data, with reduced speeds (384 kbps) after exhausting your high-speed 4G LTE data. Validities range from 3 to 12 days.
| eSIM Japan Fixed Plans: These plans ensure consistent 4G LTE connectivity with data allowances spanning from 3GB to 30GB. You can select validities ranging from 7 to 30 days.
| eSIM Asia Unlimited: Perfect for travelers venturing beyond Japan, providing coverage in 13 European countries.
Before making your choice, we strongly recommend thoroughly reviewing the details and terms of each eSIM plan. If you need personalized assistance in selecting the perfect plan, don’t hesitate to contact the eSIM World team at [email protected]
Does the eSIM plan support voice calls and SMS?
Regrettably, eSIM Japan exclusively provides data-only plans, and local phone numbers are not included in these packages. As a result, these eSIM plans do not support the ability to make voice calls or send SMS. If you need voice call and SMS functionality, we recommend using VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services such as Skype or other messaging applications that rely on data connectivity to facilitate calls and messaging.
How long does it take to receive an email with the QR code?
Upon completing your payment, our eSIM QR code is automatically dispatched to the provided email address within 15 minutes. If you haven’t received it within this timeframe, please follow these steps:
01. Check Spam or Promotion Folder
Examine your spam or promotion folder, as your email might have been filtered there.
02. Email Address Accuracy
Ensure there were no typos in the email address you provided. If you suspect an error, contact us at [email protected] for a prompt resend.
03. Email Linked to Payment
The QR code is sent to the email associated with your payment method. Please check that inbox as well.
How do I get assistance from eSIM World Team?
If you need assistance or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected]. Our dedicated customer support team is available around the clock. Feel free to reach out, and we’ll be delighted to help with any concerns or inquiries regarding your eSIM plan or usage.
How can I confirm my eSIM activation?
To ensure your eSIM is activated, watch for the following two signs:
1. eSIM Profiles
Go to your device’s eSIM settings, where you’ll find a list of available profiles or plans. A successfully activated eSIM will display an active profile without a phone number listed among the options.
2. Signal and Connectivity
Once your eSIM is activated and connected to a cellular network, you should observe signal bars or connectivity indicators in your device’s status bar. Additionally, you might see the carrier name associated with the eSIM, confirming both its activation and network connection.
Is it necessary to deactivate my original SIM?
We highly recommend deactivating your original SIM to avoid incurring data roaming charges from your domestic carrier while using the eSIM. By disabling your original SIM, you ensure that your device solely relies on the eSIM for data connectivity during your travels.
However, if you still wish to receive calls and SMS on your home number while using the eSIM, you can keep your original SIM active. In this scenario, we suggest deactivating the “Automatic Cellular Data Switching” feature on your device. This precaution prevents unintentional data usage, ensuring that data traffic is routed through the eSIM plan rather than the original SIM.
Do I need to enable data roaming for eSIM?
It’s essential to activate data roaming for the secondary line, which is your added eSIM plan. To enable data roaming, follow these steps:
For Apple Devices:
01. Access [Settings] – [Cellular]
02. Choose the [Secondary] (the eSIM plan you’ve added)
03. Ensure that [Data Roaming] is switched to the ON position
In addition, to prevent any unexpected charges, it’s vital to disable the automatic switching of lines. Here’s how you can complete this on Apple Devices:
For Apple Devices:
01. Access [Settings] – [Cellular]
02. Tap [Cellular Data]
03. Verify that [Allow Cellular Data Switching] is turned OFF
We also recommend contacting your domestic carrier to inquire about “Blocked charged international roaming” services. This will help ensure you have the most suitable data options when using the eSIM plan.
How can I check my data balance?
You can easily estimate your data usage by accessing your device’s Settings. For precise data consumption details, please contact us at [email protected].
The procedure differs based on your device’s manufacturer:
For Apple devices
01. Open [Settings]
02. Go to [Cellular/Mobile Data]
03. Find your data usage under “Current Period Roaming.”
04. Alternatively, you can find more detailed instructions on the Apple website here.
You can also dial 1019# to check your data usage via a call
For Samsung devices
01. Go to [Settings] – [Connections]
02. Choose [Data usage]

For Google devices

02. Tap [Settings] next to your operator

Once you’ve depleted your data or the validity period has ended, internet access will be suspended. If you want to extend the validity or acquire additional data, topping up is a simple process. You’ll find the “Make a Top-up” button in the email containing the QR code.
