      Grapari are a registered seller of Telcomsel (inc. Simpati) products in Bali. There are branches in Bali, one being at Bali Galleria and one in Poppies 2 (open 24hrs). They do not scam or overcharge like many 'kiosks' or roadside sellers do. For IDR70,000 (in total and inc. SIM cost) you'll have around 1.5GB and 10,000 call credit (from memory). SIMS are only worth max IDR 20,000 anyway but many 'kiosks' will start at IDR 150,000+. Data is called 'bonus' and credit is known as 'Pulsa'. Possibly valid for a month but SIMS remain active so can take back next time and just recharge. Can recharge anywhere but you pay a small commission to the seller, which should be signposted, No commission from Grapari stores.

      No need to be in a hurry to buy for NZ, or to buy from these resellers unless you actually get a better deal than from the providers - all rates are online. You can just get a sim at the airport, it's easy. Picked one up at Christchurch last week at 1 am.
      
      Spark, 1.5 GB 4G data, 1 month, 29NZD.
      
      I guess this deal has calling credit, but who needs that honestly. Have some Skype credit handy, and your Aussie number on roaming for any emergencies. The 1.5 GB data is what matters.

      Hello
      
      This comment is in no way reference to the service of TSD rather than reporting regarding the carrier
      
      I used the simple mobile sim on a recent trip and have to say the speed and coverage was not what I expected. There is probably more congestion there although it was a painful crawl at times to load simple things like maps and Internet banking. I did not use for music
      
      When it worked it was great and the call inclusions were fantastic, it was just saying that depending on the level of expectation it is worth pointing this out. Using my Optus sim in Australia upon return feels light years ahead.
      
      TSD were great to deal with and another family member had no issues using 3G on her older phone. Perhaps I am too fussy
    - Store RepTravelSIMSDirect @ Travel Sims Direct on 10/08/2015 - 19:33
      
      @chrig: Thanks for the feedback and sorry you had to experience that. It may have been settings on the phone not optimized with the sim card or it just may have been a bad or congested area. Hopefully we can make it up to you next time :)

      Simple Mobile worked OK for me in LA and Las Vegas the last 10 days. They use the T-Mobile network so it just depends on how good coverage in your local area is. In the areas I visited I was on T-Mobile LTE a lot of the time and speeds were generally decent.

  - Store RepTravelSIMSDirect @ Travel Sims Direct on 10/08/2015 - 00:20
    
    Hi guys, you can order in advance but the future you order in advance the long you will wait to receive it in the mail. Basically we will keep a preorders list and we usually get cards with validity for 2-3 months in advance, so you will likely get your cards between 6-9 weeks before your travels. So if it is in early February, you may receive your card in early December for example.
    
    Either that or wait closer to your travel dates and purchase then.
    
    Thanks!

Also for people who want to stay 14+ days.

http://www.traveljapan.com.au/japandatasim

$49 + 7 postage can get you 30 days 2GB (expires in 30days without recharge), which is also rechargeble (Y2000 for extra 2GB).

And this is even consider expensive if you can buy other travel sim locally at Kansai/ Narita airport.

Anyway, getting a travel sim and use Google Translate/ Map is the best way to travel Japan.

Hi, I bought a USA SIM last time (SIMple T-Mobile) and it arrived (fast!) with no information…

How do I recharge it when the 30 days is finished? And how much will it cost?

How do I monitor how much credit/data is left on it?

Is there some sort of user-guide I'm missing?

Also, I am in the USA for 3 months, if I want to switch to AT&T SIM after the T-Mobile one runs out is that possible via TSD while I am still overseas?

Thanks!

  Hi!
  The card can be recharge via the Simple Mobile web site or in one of Simple Mobiles resellers in the USA (there are many!).
  To check data usage and balances, simply SMS “Usage” to 611611 while you are in the States.
  We are currently working user guides that we send out but at the moment all the info is via our web site.

"Current stock of Docomo Japan SIMS must be activated by October 15th. We are now taking preorders past this date: these orders will be dispatched between 1-3 weeks as new stock comes in."

Hi Rep, just want to confirm - if I purchase a sim now when will it be delivered to Melbourne metro?

  We will dispatch it next business day from the order. We are in Melbourne so it usually takes 103 business days (usually 1-2 though).

hi rep, i ordered, only got a email from paypal regarding my payment but no invoice / email confirmation from TSD. is this correct?

  At the moment yes, we are still fixing the complete process through this new site. Our developer has been very lazy sadly :(

    Weird, I found the confirmation mail from TSD sitting in Spam.
