FAQs: All You Need to Know

Everything you need to know about SimCorner's SIM and eSIM services for a hassle-free travel experience

Both physical SIM and eSIM options work equally well. The choice depends on whether your device is eSIM compatible or not. If it is, it’s best to go with a SimCorner eSIM Japan and get an instant connection with a QR scan. Many travellers lack eSIM compatibility, hence their best choice is our prepaid SIM card Japan. However, before ordering, keep note that we currently only deliver our Japan SIM cards in Australia and NZ.
Choosing your best SIM card for Japan mainly depends on your stay length and data usage. SimCorner offers flexible plans from 7 days to 6 months, with data allowances from 1GB up to truly unlimited. Select the validity for your trip and match it with your expected data requirements to get your perfect SIM card.
SimCorner’s SIM card for Japan primarily uses top-tier networks like KDDI (au) and NTT Docomo, known for their fast speeds and extensive coverage across Japan’s cities, towns, and tourist routes. Whether you choose a limited or unlimited Japan data SIM, you will stay connected on reliable 4G/5G networks. That means fewer dropouts, faster browsing, and dependable performance compared to roaming or lower-tier providers.
Yes, you can use a SImCorner Japan travel SIM card in the surrounding islands as well. Our SIM card Japan connects to leading networks like Docomo, KDDI, covering not just Tokyo, Osaka, and Hiroshima, but also surrounding islands and regional areas. Whether you are venturing to Okinawa or exploring Hokkaido, you will enjoy local signals and data speeds.
Ordering a physical Japan travel SIM is not feasible in Japan as we only deliver in Australia, New Zealand. Hence, ordering before your travel is necessary to ensure smooth connectivity without expensive roaming, risky airport SIMs, or hidden costs. If you have an eSIM-compatible device, then you can order from anywhere in the world, and SimCorner will deliver it to your email in 5 to 10 minutes. 
SimCorner’s Japan SIM card works on most unlocked smartphones from Australia and around the world, as long as they work on Japanese network bands. To ensure compatibility, check if your device supports the bands specified in the product description. If unsure, contact our 24/7 customer support to confirm the same.

Why You Need to Buy a Prepaid Travel SIM Card for Japan

When travelling to another country, especially for more than a few days, it becomes important to consider whether you should move ahead with roaming from your home provider or opt for a more travel-friendly option like SimCorner.

♾️ Unlimited Data: Rarely are any unlimited plans provided with roaming—usually none.
SimConer has truly unlimited data plans at a cost lower than roaming.

💲 Price and Duration: Roaming rates are charged daily, except for some short-term prepaid plans, depending on your provider, so any travel above 5-6 days is expensive.
SimCorner charges all prepaid local rates, making it quite affordable for both short-term and long-term durations.

🚨 Hidden Charges: Once you exhaust your data allowance, roaming will keep on topping you up, resulting in heavy bills after your travel.
Pricing with SimCorner is upfront—pay once and never incur additional charges.

Plan Flexibility: Roaming plan choices are restricted to a few, mostly a single plan in many cases.
You can choose the plan that fits your requirements with SimCorner.

It is best to never travel abroad by roaming with your home provider, or even expensive SIMs at airport kiosks. SimCorner clearly outperforms roaming to be the provider of your best SIM card for Japan.

How to Pick the Right Prepaid Japan SIM Card for Your Needs

When in a foreign country, connectivity becomes important from navigating ways to making payments. So, which plan suits you the best to not be left stranded? Here are some key considerations to make:

  • Data Allowance – Estimate how much data you will need for maps, messaging, calling, and browsing.

  • SIM Expiry – Confirm how long the SIM remains valid after and before activation.

  • SIM Card Compatibility – Verify your phone is unlocked and supports Japanese SIM card network bands.

  • Customer Support – Choose a provider like SimCorner with 24/7 human support, should you run into any problem.
