Japan Voice+Data eSIM

You can use Mobal eSIMs in any unlocked device that's compatible with eSIMs and supports the Band 1 (2100MHz) frequency. - how to check if your phone is eSIM compatible.

That means that any Android smartphone or Apple iPhone that is compatible with eSIMs can use a Mobal Japan eSIM, including USA iPhone 14s and 15s which are eSIM-only.

Can I get a physical SIM card instead?
Sure! We have physical SIMs too - get your Japan SIM card here.

What does "unlocked" mean?
If your device is "unlocked", it means that it can work with a SIM from any network. If your device is "locked", it is restricted to work only on your regular carrier's network. Your device must be "unlocked" to work with a Mobal eSIM.

How do you know if your phone is unlocked?
If you purchased your device as an "unlocked" or "SIM Free" device from a retailer such as Amazon, then your device is almost certainly already unlocked. This means that it will work with our eSIM. If you purchased your device directly from your carrier (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.), your device is probably locked and, therefore, it may not work with our eSIM. If you're still not sure whether or not your device is unlocked, simply contact the store where you purchased your device from.

My device is locked. What can I do?
If your device is locked, it may be possible to get it unlocked - simply ask your provider about this.

Each month you get 1GB, 5GB, 10GB or 30GB of super-fast data.

If you use up your entire data allocation, you'll get reduced speeds (around 200 Kbps). However, your data is always on - it never stops. Your monthly allocation is reset on the 1st of every month, and you can change to a different plan at any time in your online account.

All of our Japan Voice+Data eSIM plans come with a real 070, 080 or 090 Japanese phone number - crucial for living and working in Japan.

Our eSIMs connect to the Docomo network, so you get ultra-reliable service. Docomo cover over 99% of Japan's population.

We don't add extras to the prices we show - what you see is what you pay.

We don't charge activation fees - our competitors will add large fees onto your first bill (plus tax!). We don't charge termination fees either.

smartphone user

If you've ever tried to get a Japanese eSIM, you'll be well aware that it's really difficult, especially if you need a real Japanese phone number. Until now, you've had the choice of filling out complicated forms in Japanese with a traditional network, or going to an English-speaking company to get a Data Only eSIM which uses an unreliable roaming network. The Mobal eSIM is the best solution for English speakers in Japan!

Real Japanese Phone Number

All our Japan Voice+Data eSIM plans come with a real 070, 080 or 090 Japanese phone number. You get cheap outgoing calls and texts, and incoming calls and texts are free! A real number is essential in Japan if you're working or studying. Some providers supply a 'virtual' number, but these aren't accepted by many institutions. For the best experience living in Japan, Mobal Japan Voice+Data is your perfect partner.

" I arrived in Japan almost four months ago, and I had no idea how difficult it was going to be to get a mobile-phone service... Knowing that I can now get a SIM card without a termination fee ... is ideal for me "

Pick-up & Shipping Options

FREE Pick-up in Japan

You can collect your eSIM access code in Japan - completely free of charge. All you need is your order confirmation and your passport. Simply show those to the staff at the pick-up point, and they'll hand your eSIM access code right to you.

Simply choose your preferred collection point and pick-up date in the checkout. Your eSIM Access Code will be available for instant pick-up after placing your order! Just show your order confirmation email and your passport to the agent when you collect your code.

If you purchased your device directly from your carrier (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.), your device is probably locked and, therefore, it may not work with our eSIM. If you're still not sure whether or not your device is unlocked, simply contact the store where you purchased your device from.

If your device is locked, it may be possible to get it unlocked - simply ask your provider about this.

Your high speed data allowance will be reset on the 1st of each month.

" The staff were very helpful with great English, and made the experience easy, far better than some of the other SIM services I encountered. Would definitely recommend Mobal, and will be using them next time I visit Japan. "

Profits Go To Charity

With a Mobal eSIM, you don't just travel the world, you make it a better place!
tony smith Mobal chairman

It all started with one man's desire to make calls while traveling...

Mobal was the brainchild of Chairman Tony Smith. As a lifelong international traveler, he was constantly frustrated when trying to keep in touch with family, friends & business contacts on his many trips overseas.

On the back of the success of the international cell phone service he has established a number of charities with a desire to change the world.

In February 2016, Tony set up Seibo, a registered Japanese non-profit organisation with a simple aim: to feed every hungry child in the world a hot meal in school!. School feeding carries many benefits - education, nutrition and health, gender equality, food security, poverty alleviation - in one single meal. The world would be changed if every hungry child in it were to receive a meal at school.

Mobal guarantees that the majority of profits go to its charities, so with your Mobal eSIM, you don't just travel the world, you make it a better place!

What does "unlocked" mean?
If your device is "unlocked", it means that it can work with a SIM from any network. If your device is "locked", it is restricted to work only on your regular carrier's network. Your device must be "unlocked" to work with a Mobal eSIM.

How do you know if your phone is unlocked?
If you purchased your device as an "unlocked" or "SIM Free" device from a retailer such as Amazon, then your device is almost certainly already unlocked. This means that it will work with our eSIM. If you purchased your device directly from your carrier (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.), your device is probably locked and, therefore, it may not work with our eSIM. If you're still not sure whether or not your device is unlocked, simply contact the store where you purchased your device from.

My device is locked. What can I do?
If your device is locked, it may be possible to get it unlocked - simply ask your provider about this.
