Voice Lite SIM Card
What's Included?
Mobal Voice Lite is designed for those who need a real Japanese phone number for calls and texts. It is not intended for data use - mobile data usage may result in additional charges. If you need both a Japanese phone number and data, we recommend our Voice+Data SIM
Our Japan Voice Lite SIM Card plan comes with a real 070, 080 or 090 Japanese phone number - crucial for living and working in Japan.
Incoming calls are free, incoming texts are free too. Outgoing calls are charged by the minute, texts are charged per 160-character message. See the Usage Rates section below for details.
With this plan, it’s possible to use up to 3GB of data each month. The first 500MB is free, but if you exceed that, a flat fee of ¥2,500 applies.
Need a service that includes data? For the best value, choose our Japan Voice+Data SIM Card instead.
Important Voice Lite isn’t recommended for data usage. To avoid additional charges, turn off mobile data for this SIM Card in your device settings.
For the first calendar month of your service, you’ll only pay for the number of days between the day you activate and the end of the month. So, if you activate half way through the month, your first month is half price!
After that, you’ll be billed ¥990 on the 1st of each month.
Outgoing calls, outgoing SMS and data use over 500MB is charged separately.
Terminate your service any time – with no termination fees!
We guarantee you'll get easy, friendly English-language support whenever you need it!
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.
Need Data?
We recommend our Voice+Data SIM Card for a real Japanese phone number and flexible data plans. Learn more

The Easy Way to Get a
Real Japanese Phone
Number
Japan is full of surprises. Most of them are good, but some of them... not so much.
For example, you might be here because you’ve been surprised how tricky life in Japan is when you don’t have a Japanese phone number! Most people don’t realise that having one is crucial for everything from using apps to contacting emergency services.
Voice Lite is the easiest way to get a Japanese phone number! At just ¥990 per month**, it’s one of the cheapest options available to foreigners in Japan – and with our same-day pick-up locations all over the country, it’s one of the fastest too!
If you only need a voice service, that's all you’ll pay for – nothing more! If you need a phone number in Japan, it’s quite literally just what you need.
Why You Need a
Japanese Phone Number
Find out why having a Japanese Phone Number is helpful, however long you’re in Japan.
VERIFICATION CODES
Many apps and services in Japan (including event ticketing sites) will only send verification codes to Japanese numbers. Don’t miss out on that concert!
Local Services
Lots of local services, such as restaurant, hotel, and transport bookings, require a Japanese phone number to receive SMS confirmations.
EMERGENCIES
Having a Japanese phone number means you can contact emergency services easily (that's why some universities require their students to have Japanese numbers!).

COMMUNICATION
Japan might not be as high-tech as you think - many still prefer SMS to messaging apps for communication. Some apps, like LINE, also require a Japanese phone number for verification when you sign up.

How Billing Works
Your first month's plan fees will be pro-rated. You'll only pay for the number of days between the day you activate and the end of the month. So, if you activate halfway through the month, your first month is half price!
Your monthly fee will be taken on the 1st of every month. Any chargeable calls, texts, and data will be billed later, when we receive your usage data from the network. This can be 1-2 months later.
You can easily view detailed, itemized statements in your online account, so you always know what you're paying for.
We accept all major credit/debit cards, PayPal, and MobalPay – our prepaid payment card designed for foreign residents in Japan. Find out more here!

FAQs
Mobal has been keeping people connected since 1989. Our award-winning teams in Japan and the UK are made up of experts and expats, who know exactly what it’s like to be in a new country. We’re committed to making Japan easy for foreigners!
Mobal is 100% charity-owned. That means that the profits we make go straight to making life better for some of the most under-privileged communities. Find out more here!
Voice Lite is designed to be used for voice calling and SMS, not data. But, if you use some data by accident, don’t worry! We give you 500MB each month to use for free, so you won’t be hit by charges if you use some data by mistake.
If you do use more than 500MB in a month, you’ll be charged a flat fee of ¥2,500 when we get your usage data from the network (this can be 1-2 months later).
If you need a Voice SIM Card service that has data included, our Voice+Data SIM Card is a much better fit for you!
Your phone number will be assigned once your SIM Card has been activated. Once assigned we will send you an email containing your phone number as well as displaying it in your online Mobal MyAccount.
Unfortunately, it's not possible to port in an existing phone number to a Japan Voice Lite SIM card. However, you can port your existing number to a Japan Voice+Data SIM Card
All usage charges are fully itemised in your online account, so you always know exactly what you are paying for. Your log-in information will be emailed to you when you activate your service.
All of your charges are billed in Japanese Yen (JPY).
You can use the Japan Voice Lite SIM Card in any unlocked phone that takes a physical SIM card and supports the 4G Band 1 (2100MHz) frequency.
iPhone 14 & 15 devices purchased in the USA don't accept physical SIM cards, so you'll need a Japan eSIM to use our service. All other iPhone models will work fine, as well as iPhone 14 & 15 devices that are bought outside the USA.
What does "unlocked" mean?
If your device is "unlocked", it means that it can work with a SIM card 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 the Japan Voice Lite SIM Card.
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 SIM card. 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 SIM card. 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.
What Size Is the SIM Card?
Our SIM Card is multi-size to fit any device (Nano / Micro / Standard) – no need to worry about which SIM Card size you need.
Your limited data allowance will be reset on the 1st of each month.
Yes, your voicemail service will be automatically set-up for you when you activate your service.
Voice Lite SIM Cards only work in Japan. They will not work in any other countries.
Voice Lite is not intended for data use, so we would not recommend using it for tethering/personal hotspot.
If you use more than 500MB in a month, you’ll be charged a flat fee of ¥2,500 when we get your usage data from the network (this can be 1-2 months later).
If you need a Voice SIM Card service that has data included, our Voice+Data SIM Card is a much better fit for you!
Yes, you can use services that use mobile data to make calls. You get 500MB free each month, so we recommend that you limit your use of mobile data.
If you do use more than 500MB in a month, you’ll be charged a flat fee of ¥2,500 when we get your usage data from the network (this can be 1-2 months later).
If you need a Voice SIM Card service that has data included, our Voice+Data SIM Card is a much better fit for you!
It is a requirement of Japanese law that we must collect ID from users of Japan Voice Lite SIM Cards to prevent fraudulent usage. You must present your full valid current passport, not a copy or scan.
If you choose delivery, you must upload your ID before shipping. Check out our Shipping & Pick-up Options to find the right choice for you.
Be assured that we are committed to protecting your security for the lifetime of your service with us. Your ID information is fully encrypted and stored in a secure environment.

To make/receive voice calls, Android devices must support VoLTE (Voice over LTE):
Voice calling over the Softbank network is only available on devices that support VoLTE and with Android 12 or newer installed. Please check your device to find out if it’s compatible.
Important: We have found that some devices still aren’t able to make voice calls over the Softbank network despite meeting the above requirements. You can find a full list of devices we've found to be incompatible in the Voice+Data SIM Card section of this link.
iPhone Users:
USA-spec iPhones 14 and newer don't accept physical SIM cards, so you'll need a Japan eSIM to use our service.
All other iPhone models will work fine, as well as iPhones 14 and newer that are not USA-spec. If you're unsure, check you own device to see whether it has a a SIM Card slot to insert a physical SIM card. For more information about frequency please visit our support pages for Voice SIM Cards.
Can I get a physical SIM card instead?
Sure! We have physical SIMs too - get your Japan SIM card here.
What does "unlocked" mean?
f your device is "unlocked", it means that it can work with a SIM card 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 SIM.
How do you know if your phone is unlocked?

If you've ever tried to get a Japanese SIM, 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 SIM card which uses an unreliable roaming network. The Mobal SIM is the best SIM card in Japan for English speakers!
Real Japanese Phone Number
All our Japan Voice+Data SIM 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 "

Billing
For your first month of service, your monthly Plan fees will be pro-rated. For example, if you activate your SIM Card on July 16th, you will be billed half of your regular monthly bill for the period from July 16th until July 31st. On August 1st, you will be billed in advance for the month of August. Going forward, you will be billed on the 1st of every calendar month until you choose to cancel your service.
Any chargeable calls and texts will also be billed to you on the 1st of the month.
You can view fully itemized statements detailing all of your charges in your online account - so you always know exactly what you are paying for!
We accept payments from all major credit/debit cards and Paypal.
" There were cheaper options but I chose Mobal in the end. Did not disappoint. I had the SIM mailed to Australia and it was shipped promptly. Set it up on the plane before landing and it worked as soon as I got off the plane. No trouble at all during the entire trip. "

FAQs
Mobal has been keeping people connected since 1989. Our award-winning teams in Japan and the UK are made up of experts and expats, who know exactly what it’s like to be in a new country. We’re committed to making Japan easy for foreigners!
Mobal is 100% charity-owned. That means that the profits we make go straight to making life better for some of the most under-privileged communities. Find out more here!
If you've ordered a Japan Voice+Data SIM Card, your phone number will be assigned once your SIM Card has been activated. Once assigned we will send you an email containing your phone number as well as displaying it in your online Mobal MyAccount.
Yes! All the information you need about porting your existing Japanese phone number to Mobal is here.
All usage charges are fully itemized in your online account, so you always know exactly what you are paying for. Your log-in information will be emailed to you when you activate your service.
All of your charges are billed in Japanese Yen (JPY).
You can use the Japan Voice+Data SIM Card in any unlocked phone that takes a physical SIM card and supports the 4G Band 1 (2100MHz) frequency.
iPhone 14 & 15 devices purchased in the USA don't accept physical SIM cards, so you'll need a Japan eSIM to use our service. All other iPhone models will work fine, as well as iPhone 14 & 15 devices that are bought outside the USA.
What does "unlocked" mean?
If your device is "unlocked", it means that it can work with a SIM card 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 the Japan Voice+Data SIM Card.
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 SIM card. 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 SIM card. 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.
What Size Is the SIM Card?
Our SIM Card is multi-size to fit any device (Nano / Micro / Standard) – no need to worry about which SIM Card size you need.
Data is fast, free and and unlimited, you'll get 1GB, 5GB, 10GB or 30GB
of fast 4G data per month.
If you use up your entire monthly plan allowance, your data speed will
be reduced to a maximum of 200 Kbps. These reduced speeds may not be
sufficient for streaming music or video, but they will still allow
activities such as web browsing, emailing, posting to social media,
Whatsapp messaging, etc.
Your high speed data allowance will be reset on the 1st of each month.
Your voicemail service will be automatically set-up for you when you activate your service. Voicemail is easy to use! Simple instructions are included in your package.
Yes, the Japan Voice + Data SIM Card service supports SMS text messages.
Note, as with all SMS services, your messages can be delayed, corrupted or on occasion, fail to send. If your message is urgent, we would always recommend that you place a phone call rather than sending a text message.
Our Mobal Voice+Data SIM cards only work in Japan. They will not work in any other countries.
Some of our services support tethering/hotspot use, however, we cannot guarantee that this feature will work with all devices/operating systems.
To find out more about tethering please visit our support page Creating a Hotspot / Tethering - Mobal Japan Voice+Data Support.
Yes! Using VoIP services for calling and instant messaging can be a great way to keep in touch rather than paying extra for traditional voice calls & texts.
It is a requirement of Japanese law that we must collect ID from users of Japan Voice SIM Cards to prevent fraudulent usage. You must present your full valid current passport, not a copy or scan.
If you choose delivery, you must upload your ID before shipping. Check out our Shipping & Pick-up Options to find the right choice for you.
Be assured that we are committed to protecting your security for the lifetime of your service with us. Your ID information is fully encrypted and stored in a secure environment.

You can use Mobal Japan SIMs in any unlocked device that takes a physical SIM card and supports the 4G Band 1 (2100MHz) frequency.
To make/receive voice calls, Android devices must support VoLTE (Voice over LTE):
Voice calling over the Softbank network is only available on devices that support VoLTE and with Android 12 or newer installed. Please check your device to find out if it’s compatible.
Important: We have found that some devices still aren’t able to make voice calls over the Softbank network despite meeting the above requirements. You can find a full list of devices we've found to be incompatible in the Voice+Data SIM section of this link.
Google Pixel Users:
With our Japan Tourist Data Only SIM Cards, there are currently known issues with the Google Pixel 7 and above handset range that primarily appear to affect the non-Japanese versions of these devices. Reports indicate that this issue can lead to frequent connection drops / intermittent issues with certain services and so (as we cannot take responsibility for device issues of this kind) we would recommend that you avoid these particular handsets when using our services.
iPhone Users:
USA-spec iPhones 14 and newer don't accept physical SIM cards, so you'll need a Japan eSIM to use our service.
All other iPhone models will work fine, as well as iPhones 14 and newer that are not USA-spec. If you're unsure, check you own device to see whether it has a a SIM Card slot to insert a physical SIM card.
For more information about frequency please visit our support pages for Voice SIM Cards.
What does "unlocked" mean?
If your device is "unlocked", it means that it can work with a SIM card 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 SIM Card.

Profits Go To Charity
With a Mobal SIM, you don't just travel the world, you make it a better place!
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 SIM, you
don't just travel the world, you make it a better place!
" I was very glad to have located mobal. Nowadays, we are so hooked
up on the internet for news, facebook, instagram and whatsapp etc. I would recommend anyone
to Mobal if you can't live without internet :) "

landed in Tokyo. It worked perfectly in all the Japan ports of call. Was able to text, use

But internet in Japan is really expensive. Imagine 3000 Yen for 3GB and 3000 Yen for a 2GB
Recharge! (Don't bother checking. It's the cheapest!) On average, I spend close to 10,000
Yen just on Internet alone.
I don't know about you, but that could've been money spent on other things (like a Tsukiji
Foodie Crawl!).
But with Mobal SIM, I don't have to break the bank
while I work and explore Japan!
Thank you Mobal! "
