Reviews
Used in Japan, Worked very well!
Great service, user friendly and easy to install
I bought 10Gb Japan esim 4G service. The email with the esim QR code sent to me instantly. Installation of esim was simple and straightforward. Will definitely buy again when travelling overseas. Well done!
Bought the e-sim online while waiting for my flight departing Australia. It was easy to install and has worked flawlessly over the last two weeks.
Bought 5 Gb for a 2 week trip. It was more than enough for the trip.
Quick and easy to set up
Really easy to setup with iphone
A little bit slow in Japan but as a whole ok Q/P. I will buy again if the price is reasonable
Had connectivity issue at Sapporo, contacted CS, and they were able to resolve with issuing a new eSIM.
