      Pretty much all over the place for 30 days. Yokohama (from Haneda) -> Gifu/Nagoya (for Ghibli Park) -> Hakodate/Sapporo -> Kyuushu and Fukuoka specifically for the Karatsu Festival then working my way slowly by rail back to Tokyo.

        Thanks for the ideas! Planning to go October. I got one of the Sim too.

        I was wondering if I can load it in a 4g modem and so a few of us can use for light browsing (socials, maybe even Netflix)

        • 

          simplycurious on 16/04/2023 - 20:39

          @limucat: 30GB won't go far if you're sharing it via hotspoting TBH. If you go that route, it might be better to do 4G modem rental or sometimes the AirBnB (if you're staying at one) provide them to you as part of the duration of your stay.

          Glad it gave you some ideas as took me a while to distill where I wanted to go and what I wanted to given this is my third time. I made the mistake of not booking a longer stay and would not recommend my itinerary to anyone as it's a logistical nightmare as I would like to stay in the cities I'm going to for a longer period or be able to explore the different prefectures more intimately.

          If you're going for a short time and/or you are there for your first time definitely take it a lot easier to absorb the cities and culture.

            @simplycurious: I managed to do 5GB for about 10 days and had to buy locally for the remaining 5 days. When there's so many free hotspots available it's pretty easy to get by.

            • 

              simplycurious on 16/04/2023 - 20:46

              @Clear: Oh that's definitely doable on your own, but sharing is another thing and it does become incovenient.

            I do like your general itinerary but probably will focus on Hakodate area as it will be our third trip too.

            The Karatsu festival looks fun. Thank u

      • 

        Clear on 16/04/2023 - 20:43

        I'm tempted to do Sapporo but with the shinkansen only going as far as Hakodate it seems like an all day trip unless you fly. I was thinking of settling for Sendai with a possible Aomori day trip.

        I didn't know about the Karatsu Festival. Since I'm heading to Fukuoka I'll have to check it out.

        • 

          simplycurious on 16/04/2023 - 20:50

          +1

          @Clear: Karatsu Festival is 2-4 November, but it's recommended to stay in Karatsu given the crowds, so I'm only staying for the first night.

          I think it might be better to skip Aomori all together (except please check out the Nebuta Warasse musuem!), and do a day trip close by to Sendai from what I heard. Then if you don't want to go up to Sapporo, Hakodate was definitely very enjoyable but I really loved Sapporo when I went in Mid-November last time. Please have soup curry and Genghis Khan when you're up in Hokkaido! :)

    I'm currently using the below eSIM in Japan. 1GB per day, resets everyday.

    They use a local carrier (SoftBank) and do not roam from an overseas one. Many eSIM providers roam from carriers from other Asian countries and so the ping and general speed can be terrible.

  Do the data only Sims work with Grab and GOJek in Thailand or Bali? Or do we need voice?

  • 

    Archdon on 16/04/2023 - 20:25

    I had no issue using data only sims with grab in Thailand and Vietnam, but make sure to setup your payment while you're still in Australia in case your bank uses 2 factor authentication. I had to use a location spoof app to spoof into vietnam and then enter my card details since it didn't seem to work locally.

    • 

      R3XNebular on 16/04/2023 - 20:28

      Is that because you didnt nofity your bank of your travel? Hopefully I don't run into that issue. Thanks!

    In our experience we were able to use our data only SIM for Grab, GoJek I believe need local Indonesian number (note: Grab is also available in Indonesia)

  Hey OP, planning on travelling around Asia in November this year, Multi Countries sounds perfect to us! How do I go on about buying and activating it for that time period? Saw the expiry date is 31/12/2023 but you also mentioned that eSIM will have to be activated within 6 months? Any way of buying now to activate later in Nov?
  Cheers!

    Yes eSIM has to be activated within 6 months or it will expire - we have updated the post.

    Physical SIM will last until 31/12/2023.

      Right.. how long is the max months I can get out of the eSIM? Say I activated it (scan QR Code) closer to October, will it last me till at least December since the eSIM will only get fully activated once I’m connected in the country where it can be used, e.g. Japan?

  At the last sale, I purchased a couple of these.

  When I visited Vietnam, I used the Southeast asia 12 countries 15days 1GB daily eSIM.

  Across the entirety of my stay in Vietnam, the connection was abysmally slow and often unusable. I followed the setup guide exactly, and also tried a variety of configurations without any success.

  I am unsure of whether this reflected a problem with the provider, Viettel, or something else. Maybe 4G internet in Vietnam is just generally poor. I did visit a variety of cities.

  I'll be using Asia 6 countries 30days 10GB eSIM in South Korea next week and hope that will be better.

  @TravelKon Your product page and the order confirmation email give conflicting information regarding eSIM scanning.

  On the website page (https://www.travelkon.com.au/product/japan-travel-esim-30-da…) it states that "Please note that the eSIM must be scanned within 6 months of purchase to avoid expiration" That's all good, because the following sentence says "The eSIM will only activate when it connects to a supported network operator. For example, you can scan the eSIM in Australia without activating it. However, please ensure that you do not turn on data roaming until you reach your destination."

  Yet in my order confirmation email, it says this: "Please scan the code ONLY WHEN YOU WANT TO ACTIVATE the plan, as it will be activated when the QR code is scanned and activated."

  I'll be leaving for Japan at the end of December which won't be enough time if I must scan and activate the plan before October 6 months from now.

    Sorry for the confusion we will get that fixed.

    In the meantime, let us shed some light

    The eSIM must be scanned within 6 months or it will expire, in addition scanning the eSIM in Australia won’t activate the plan until it connects to a supported network (within the 6 months).

      yoswag123 on 16/04/2023 - 22:09

      Hi TravelKon, just to confirm if I purchase eSim today, I can scan when I receive the email now in Australia, then it will activate when I arrive in Japan in December

        Store RepTravelKon @ TravelKon on 16/04/2023 - 23:37

        No it has to connect to a supported network within 6 months of purchase, December is still too far off and the eSIM will expire by then.

      dogsryummy on 16/04/2023 - 22:53

      So if I scan the eSIM in Australia in October, I have another 6 months to actually connect to the supported network (i.e. by April 2023)?

  I've got a UK GiffGaff SIM. When we landed, I couldn't work out my number, so a good tip:

  Text the word NUMBER to 43430.

  Also, if you add £10 credit (not a Goodybag), the SIM will remain active - including global roaming - simply by using it every 6 months.

  I am on boost prepaid and has no international roaming, would eSim give me access to receive iMessages or plain normal SMS (from android)

  I assume if I swap out to the physical sim, all australia msg won’t be received while overseas?!

    it's free to receive sms overseas - you don't need an international roaming pack

    imessage requires data, so without roaming, you need wifi, or an esim

    Using a Mobile phone Overseas - eSIM, Travel SIM, International Roaming

    I assume if I swap out to the physical sim, all australia msg won’t be received while overseas?!

    if you remove your boost sim, then yes you won't receive messages sent to that number

    however, with a dual e/sim phone, you could have both your boost sim and a travel esim active
