hi all I am heading to Japan and was wondering what is the best sim card for use in Japan, thanks in advance
thanks for that , was thinking of getting one prior to leaving Aus any suggestions?There are heaps, including ones you just collect at the airport on arrival. I've used one called Mobal a few times that's been good
thanks for the heads up , will check them out , and definitely will have two phonesI'm off to Japan and Taiwan for 10 days shortly, and have purchased a 10-day Asia SIM-card with 6GB data from Simcorner for $25 incl postage.
It seems to have pretty good coverage across Asia (including Japan) and was the best one I could find online.
It also seems to get good reviews, but in the event it has a problem I will use my Australian Optus SIM card which has roaming enabled (at a much higher cost).
I always take a couple of phones when travelling overseas (belt and braces).
yep iPhone 11 plus so will check these guys out also thanks for the tipSo you have an esim capable phone?

To add a postscript.
Just returned from Japan (and Taiwan) and can confirm that this SIM card worked flawlessly, with very good coverage almost anywhere. The 6 Gb lasted the entire 10 days, without any scrimping and saving required.
I'd use this product again in a heartbeat. Certainly it easily beat the ripoff charges levied by the likes of Optus.
Alot of the time I hear people using their hotel address or similar to get it but otherwise.. could be tricky. Is it a situation where you can't use LINE or similar? Otherwise I've heard of people using BIC SIM but it's a monthly thing - 【公式】BIC SIM|ビックカメラの格安SIM・格安スマホDoes anyone know how I could get a JP SIM that isn't a temporary number without requiring a Japanese residential address?
I'm looking for options to get a Japanese phone number that isn't limited to short term data only plans.
Try Simsdirect once off.thanks for that , was thinking of getting one prior to leaving Aus any suggestions?
