Travelers to Japan can now activate Ubigi's travel eSIM with unlimited 5G/4G data plans, allowing them to enjoy high-speed mobile internet connectivity throughout their stay. This service is compatible with all carrier-unlocked eSIM-enabled devices, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops, regardless of the user's home network operator.

The introduction of Ubigi's unlimited plans in Japan addresses the growing demand for reliable and cost-effective mobile data solutions among international tourists and business travelers. With this launch, users can avoid the hassle of purchasing local SIM cards or relying on limited public Wi-Fi networks, ensuring a smooth and connected travel experience on an unlimited data plan.

Marie-Julie Le Guen, head of B2C Marketing & Support Operations at Transatel, the company behind the Ubigi brand, comments on the expansion: "Japan has always been a key market in our global connectivity strategy. With the country's increasing focus on digital tourism and the upcoming surge in international visitors, we're thrilled to offer a solution that aligns perfectly with the needs of modern travelers."  

Key Features of Ubigi's Unlimited eSIM Service for Japan:

  1. Unlimited 5G/4G data access across major Japanese networks (NTT Docomo and KDDI).
  2. Easy activation through the Ubigi mobile app or website.
  3. Flexible plan durations to suit various travel needs, from short trips to extended stays.
  4. No physical SIM card required, enabling instant connectivity upon arrival.

To activate the service, travelers can simply download the Ubigi app, install the Ubigi eSIM (or virtual SIM) and select the desired Japan unlimited plan. The newly released plans are available for 7-day and 30-day durations.

Earlier this year we purchased one SIM card for my wife's phone and one eSIM for my Google phone as it won't work in Japan with a physical SIM card. We purchased from Mobal which has a UK distribution centre. They both worked seamlessly and were cheaper than UBIGI. And all Mobal's profits go to charity, so a win-win all around.

But they are expensive. I used Airalo and paid $15 for 10gb which I rarely used. Used the coupon code Rich8010 to get $3 off it and it worked every time. The eSIM market is full and much better deals to get out there.
