      Holafly is a better deal if you want data and I had excellent service with their unlimited plan. 6gb is little…

      • fixxundfertig on 05/09/2023 - 08:49

        Depends what they want really. Free wifi can be found in Japan in most areas. Holafly want to charge me $67/14days or $99/30 days, whereas Sims Direct charge $26.75/12 days (6GB) or $33.75/30 days (10GB). I'm definitely going with Sims Direct.

      Hey @Herbs

      Nice one! Sounds like a good deal 👍

      Something to keep in mind is our Japan SIMs work in an additional 12 countries across Asia and operates off the Softbank - a premium network!

      -Anna

      • Richard Gimbal on 04/09/2023 - 09:33

        The additional 12 countries is the reason I just ordered the Japan SIM and because it had a much longer expiry (June 2024) than the other comparable Asian offerings. I intend to use it in Indonesia in March 2024 so i needed the longer expiry. Thanks simsdirect.

        Edit: Nice to see a lot of the Asian SIMs have been updated to 31/12/24 👍 I was finding the options very limited earlier when they were showing end of 2023

        • Store RepSimsDirect @ SimsDirect on 04/09/2023 - 10:25

          Awesome @Herbs good to hear!

  • Balthraka on 04/09/2023 - 08:35

    Does anyone have any suggestions for sims for Africa (specifically Kenya, Uganda and Mauritius)?

      Hey @tanastra

      The eSIM and physical SIM card both activate on the first network connection, meaning they do not start until you land and they connect to the network towers.

      The South East Asia/Japan SIMs are manufactured by China Unicom HK but they roam onto local networks like AIS, DTAC etc. (depending on the country you are in).

    I was always a "buy a local sim when we get there" type of traveller however with many Asian countries becoming stricter on buying sims bought these for the family for a Singapore, Japan and Korea holiday last year. To turn our phones on in Singapore and not have to stuff around as we country hopped was so much more convenient. Going to Penang in December so will grab some sims for that trip. Good timing (assuming you don't have a better deal before then, then I'll be grumpy…. 😊)

    Hi there,

    Im going South America in oct/nov this year and will be travelling to Chile, Peru & Columbia.

    Will the eSim cover this and what happens if use up the 12gb of data? Can it be topped up and what would be the cost?

    • Store RepSimsDirect @ SimsDirect on 04/09/2023 - 09:34

      Hey @CocoVanBanana

      We do not have any eSIMs that work in those countries (yet!).

      We do have a 12GB South America Physical SIM Card that does, though.

      One thing to keep in mind is that it's data only. If you use up the data, it will stop working, and it cannot be topped up. If you feel you will need more data, you can go ahead and buy multiple SIMs and swap them over as you go.

      Let me know if there is anything else I can help with ❤️

    Japan SIMS are cheaper and longer term on Amazon Japan and you can get them delivered to Amazon parcel lockers at Haneda and Narita or any Convenience store. Japan travel SIMS are data only. If you need calls and text, head instore to Yodobashi Camera or BIC Camera. NTT Docomo and SoftBank networks have similar coverage.

      All Japan SIMs and eSIMs are data only - something to keep in mind though as well is that our Japan physical SIMs do work in 13 countries for all those folks who are travelling around a bit and need a little more coverage!

      -Anna

    • opposablethumbs on 04/09/2023 - 11:34

      Agreed @Tradey and you can even order Japanese data SIMs from Amazon AU, with free delivery locally in a couple of days if a Prime member.

      e.g. 15GB on DoCoMo for not much more than offered here for 10GB and 180 day expiry ($39.99).
      www.amazon.com.au/dp/B08THP6HNK

      Just search "japan sim card" on Amazon AU and plenty of options (including unlimited for set number of days).

      • wartex11 on 05/09/2023 - 21:03

        That Amazon option looks good value but mixed reviews about speed, and activation date passed,

            • opposablethumbs on 03/10/2023 - 13:54

              @wartex11: Have put in my old phone and tethered to it a few times without problem.

              Haven't needed to use it extensively though as many places have wifi and my partner is also carrying around a rented pocket wifi, that has been good for most circumstances.

              • opposablethumbs on 08/10/2023 - 20:00

                @opposablethumbs: Used it yesterday for data in a dual SIM mobile phone, mostly for Google maps and a bit of email checking/web surfing. Performed fine.

                Probably not going to challenge it much until later in the coming week, but unlikely to be streaming videos or anything too taxing then either.

                Speedtest app gave me 20/5Mbps when I just checked it (in a more regional prefecture, a while out of Tokyo). I'll see if there's any improvement on that when I head back to Tokyo.

                    Was not great on bullet train out of Tokyo to northern most part of Honshu, but free wifi on board anyway that is adequate enough.

                    Outside in a small regional city near the coast just got 75/9Mbps on speediest app.

                        @wartex11: Just visiting family in areas about an hour north-east of Tokyo by bullet train and in northern most prefecture of main island.

                        Can't really go wrong with where you visit in Japan (previously lived here for many years and been to most regions other than Okinawa).

                        What's surpised me most this time is how cheap it is compared to Australia for going out to eat.

                        Before Google maps existed I used to recommend even trying to get a bit lost as will have more fun in the places you find by chance and by how helpful and friendly people are.

                        There is lots of free wifi around in cities and haven't even bothered with a local SIM in past. These days though, I can't afford not to be able to be contacted or make calls back to Australia at any time for work, so needed the data SIM for a VoIP-based Australian mobile service through CrazyTel that I've found much cheaper and more reliable than using roaming on my standard Australian SIM.

    I am in Korea at the moment and using your sims. I purchased the 10gb and realized that I may run out of data soon. Do I need to purchase another esim when that happen or is there a way to top up the data?

    • cfritz on 04/09/2023 - 09:32

      i have the same question. how do I top up data? we have plans to go to Japan and Philippines in January

      • Store RepSimsDirect @ SimsDirect on 04/09/2023 - 09:40

        @cfritz - sounds like a cool trip! For physical SIMs, can definitely recommend this one as it covers both Japan and the Philippines. If you think you'll go over the data limit, we recommend you grab a couple so you don't get stuck 😊

    • Store RepSimsDirect @ SimsDirect on 04/09/2023 - 09:36

      Hey @Farmacist

      Our eSIMs are one time use only so you're not able to top up the data - but you can definitely grab a replacement to swap out when you run out of data. It's super simple to add the new eSIM once you're done with the old one. 😊

      Hope your trip is going fab! ❤️

    I'm confused - do most customers port over their existing number when they travel with an international sim or do they use a 'temporary' number supplied?

      Hey @davidbowieisalive

      The SIMs we offer come with their own local numbers or don't have one at all (if it's data-only).

      If you have a dual SIM device, you can keep your Aussie SIM and use our SIM for data to keep your number but avoid expensive data fees from your home carrier.

      If you do not, you need to get a roaming package from your home carrier or use a messaging/calls app like WhatsApp.

      Hope that clears it up! Let me know if you have any more questions ❤️

    when you add another esim to your phone… how does it know which sim to use when connecting to the network when you're overseas .. eg im going to japan and i add a japanese esim, how does the phone know not to use my normal phone sim to avoid overseas charges?

      Hey @hippyhippy

      You can switch between your physical SIM and your eSIM through your phone settings so that you're using the eSIM as your main - easy peasy! 😊

      I have a Samsung and use a physical sim and esim while overseas. Not sure what iPhone is like, but if you have Android you do get to select which sim card you would like to use for either data, calls and SMS.
      You can also switch off a certain Sim card if you're not using it which is quite handy. I tend to switch off one sim that doesn't have roaming as it drains my battery constantly searching for reception while overseas.

  • Rocsta1975 on 04/09/2023 - 09:41

    Travelling to US in April next year. Will this work? Also am i better getting an esim or a physical sim?

    • Store RepSimsDirect @ SimsDirect on 04/09/2023 - 09:45

      Hey @Rocsta1975

      Yep, we have eSIMs and SIM cards for the US, which you can buy now and use in April.

      It's entirely up to you to use eSIM or a SIM card.

      The advantage of an eSIM is that it is sent to your device directly, and you do not need to swap out your SIM cards.

      However, we do have a broader range of physical SIMs available currently.

      Let me know if you have any further questions! ❤️

    How far can we buy eSim for UK/Europe ? We are travelling in April'24.

    • Store RepSimsDirect @ SimsDirect on 04/09/2023 - 09:48

      Hey @Sd14

      You can buy well in advance! There would be no issues with buying now and using it in April next year.

      Let me know if there's anything else I can help with ❤️

      • Sd14 on 04/09/2023 - 09:50

        Thank you!.
        Also, can I buy 2 e-sims(one for me and one for my partner) together on a single email ? Or do we need to buy separately with different email IDs ?

        • Store RepSimsDirect @ SimsDirect on 04/09/2023 - 09:52

          You can buy both on one email, you will just receive 2 separate emails with a different QR code in each.

      Hey @Yoo

      Everything looks fine on my end - probably just super busy due to everyone snapping up the great deals! 😉

      Give it a refresh🤞 and try using a different browser just in case that's causing any issues!

  • RichieVn on 04/09/2023 - 09:49

    any difference with south east asia sim card vs japan only sim card if i was to travel to japan only?

    • Store RepSimsDirect @ SimsDirect on 04/09/2023 - 09:58

      hey @khoed792

      The SIMs are fairly similar & will work in the same places on the same networks. Just a heads up though if you grab the SE Asia SIM, if needs to be activated by 31/12/23 whereas you've got until the 30/06/2024 with the Japan SIM.

      Hope that helps!❤️

    Can i travel to japan and philipines within 30 days and use the SE 30 day coverage e sim for both countries? any difference if i just bough tthe japan esim seperately?

    • Store RepSimsDirect @ SimsDirect on 04/09/2023 - 10:01

      Hey @khoed792

      The SE Asia eSIM will work in both Japan & the Philippines so you'd be good to go in both places with that one.
      The Japan eSIM does not cover the Philippines, so your best best is probably the SE Asia 😊

      The esim is more expensive than a physical SIM it seems. Is there a reason?

  • DoomTrooper on 04/09/2023 - 09:59

    I'm going to Germany next year but it will be in June-July so if I buy an esim now, will it still be valid then?

    • Store RepSimsDirect @ SimsDirect on 04/09/2023 - 10:04

      Hey @DoomTrooper

      Yup, you will be all good to grab the eSIM now and activate it when you're headed off to Germany! 🇩🇪

      • DoomTrooper on 04/09/2023 - 12:44

        Is the 30-day window from the moment it is first activated or do I have to nominate a start day?

        I'm going from mid-June to mid-July

      I've just realised the expiry was wrong on our site. Its 31/12/2024!

      So you are totally cool to purchase, I've also updated the site.

        Nice to see a lot of the Asian SIMs have been updated to 31/12/24 👍 I was finding the options very limited earlier when they were showing end of 2023.
