Japan: Experience buying cheap Japanese 4G Sim when traveling

Japan is not only famous for Mount Fuji, beautiful singing and dancing Geishas, world-famous sushi, cherry blossoms, samurai warriors or cartoons, but also known to tourists as a unique civilization and the most technologically advanced in the world. Not only is it called Japan, but this country is also called by many other names, impressing many people when they hear it for the first time.

One of the top concerns of tourists when arriving in a foreign country is the use of the Internet for communication or route finding, foreign tourists. Especially young people seem to be extremely interested in checking-in, taking photos to share with their loved ones, as well as recording memorable moments in their journey.
In this article, Sim2go.asia will share the experience of buying a cheap 4G Japan travel Sim when going to Japan, hopefully the article will help you prepare your luggage more carefully and with peace of mind.

1. Why should I buy a 4G SIM card to travel to Japan?

1.1 Expensive international roaming costs

Currently, mobile phone service providers have implemented roaming services in Japan, but international roaming fees are very high, it will be very inconvenient and you will have to pay high fees if you have a long phone call or a lot of data is needed to use a navigation or translate app, so this may not be the most economical way to use your mobile phone in Japan. Check with your carrier before your trip to see how they charge for data usage, calling, and texting.

1.2 Free wifi hotspots in Japan have limited coverage, unstable quality

In order to improve the quality of the tourism industry, Japan has more and more free Wi-Fi hotspots in major cities as well as public places such as airports, train stations and convenience stores. However, in public places and cafes, even though there is Wifi, the access is very confusing, it is not easy to enter because it is denied or the hotspots force you to log in before using, or limit the access time access. Of course, if you are persistent and not too necessary, we still have free Wifi for a while, but is it really too time consuming?

Free Wi-Fi hotspots are a nice and welcome initiative, but their coverage is limited and you also need to consider the security risks if you really need internet access in these places.

2. Some basic things to keep in mind before buying a Japan Travel 4G Sim

Like most sim cards used daily, the Japan Travel 4G Sim also integrates 3 sizes such as Nano, Micro and Standard on 1 Sim card, making it easy to insert it into your device.
Japan 4G travel sim cannot be used for network locked phones (jailbroken iPhone phones, non-international versions). This is something to note for those of you who use a network-locked phone. Make sure your phone is unlocked.
The 3G/4G data/data only SIM card will be the perfect choice if you don’t need a SIM card that includes voice calls and text messages while you’re in Japan. Sim data cards usually provide unlimited data access, so you can easily use apps like Whatsapp, Zalo, Viber, FB… to make calls and send messages.
Alternatively, the other options Sim Data + Voice Call cards are only slightly more expensive and allow you to get a phone number so you can make and receive calls during your visit to Japan.
