Watch YouTube sensation and Japan-expert, Paolo de Guzman, introduce his top tips for arriving in Japan which includes getting a Mobal Japan SIM!
Introducing Mobal’s Japan Unlimited SIM!
Our service is different, We have removed obstacles that other providers
place in your way. It’s simple to buy a Japan Unlimited SIM Card, it’s easy to activate, and
it’s simple to cancel it if you need to.
Our long-term Japan SIM cards are perfect for you if you are living, working or studying in
Japan. You can have your SIM shipped to you before you travel, or you can pick it up when you
arrive in Japan.
We provide a SIM card which fits any phone - including iPhones, Android smartphones and basic
phones.
Always-on data
Free incoming calls & incoming texts
Real Softbank Japanese phone number
You can use the Japan Unlimited SIM in any unlocked phone that supports the 3G Band 1 (2100MHz) or 4G Band 1 (2100MHz) frequency.
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 Unlimited SIM.
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.
Real Japanese Phone Number
All our Japan Unlimited plans come with a real 070, 080 or 090 Japanese phone number with cheap calls and texts (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.
Choose a plan, collect in Japan...
We can ship your SIM worldwide, or you can pick it up when you arrive in Japan.

Always-on data - it never stops!
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.
" 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 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. You can also pay
your monthly fees by cash – see below.
Pay by Cash
If you are living and working in Japan, you may find that it’s not convenient to pay
your bill long-term with your international Debit/Credit Card or PayPal account.
Some international providers charge transaction fees – or you may not be keeping
money in your international account.
To solve these problems, after you’ve paid a full month's line rental you can change
your payment method to cash. This means that you can pay your bill in cash at
thousands of convenience stores around Japan - any Mini Stop, Lawson, Family Mart or
Circle K / Sunkus.
Paying by cash is easy. Each month, we’ll email you to let you know how much you
need to pay. We provide you with a simple step-by-step guide on how to make your
payment in store.
Switching to cash payment
Once you've made your first monthly payment (billed on the 1st of each month), just
login to your online account and choose the option to make future payments in cash.
" The Mobal staff were very helpful with great English. The
phone service is faultless – very fast with excellent coverage "

FAQ's
If you've never heard of Mobal before, here are some of the facts about
us:
a) Mobal is one of the world's longest running cell phone providers and
was founded in 1989. We have offices in Japan, Europe & North
America, so we're well placed to serve during your stay in Japan, before
and after your trip!
b) You're in good company! Since 1989, Mobal has served over 250,000
international travelers and has earned great reviews from the likes of
Frommer's, Budget Travel and TIME Magazine. We specialize in providing
English-language service to travelers and most importantly, we're
dedicated to keeping things simple (which we know isn't always the case
with traditional Japanese providers!).
c) Mobal guarantees that the majority of profits go to charity. So, with
a Mobal SIM, you don't just travel the world, you make it a better
place!
As you can see, we're a well-established company with a proven
reputation. We are dedicated to providing a great service, and we would
love you to join our community of international travelers!
Yes! You can collect your SIM from our convenient collection points at airports and cities around Japan – completely free of charge. Simply choose your pick-up point when you add your product to the shopping cart.
Mobal is based in New York, USA - so we don’t need to charge Japanese taxes.
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 Unlimited SIM in any unlocked phone that supports
the 3G or 4G Band 1 (2100MHz) frequency. All iPhones and most modern
Androids support the Band 1 frequency.
If your phone is locked, it’s often possible to get it unlocked - simply
ask your provider about this.
What does "unlocked" mean?
If your phone is "unlocked", it means that it can work with a SIM card
from any network. If your phone is "locked", it is restricted to work
only on your regular carrier's network. Your phone must be "unlocked" to
work with the Japan Unlimited SIM.
How do you know if your phone is unlocked?
If you purchased your phone as an "unlocked" or "SIM Free" phone from a
retailer such as Amazon, then your phone is almost certainly already
unlocked. This means that it will work with our SIM card. If you
purchased your phone directly from your carrier (AT&T, T-Mobile,
etc.), your phone is probably locked and, therefore, it may not work
with our SIM card. If you're still not sure whether or not your phone is
unlocked, simply contact the store where you purchased your phone from.
My phone is locked. What can I do?
If your phone is locked, it may be possible to get it unlocked - simply
ask your provider about this.
What size SIM card will I get?
Our SIM cards are ‘Nano-SIM’-size (perfect for up-to-date iPhones and
other Smartphones). We provide a SIM adapter, so you can use the SIM in
any other phone too.
Data is fast, free and and unlimited, you'll get 1GB, 5GB, 10GB or 30GB
of fast 4G LTE 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 SIM. Voicemail is easy to use! Simple instructions are included in your package.
Our Mobal Japan Unlimited 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 Unlimited 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. If you are picking up your SIM in Japan, you can simply show your passport when you collect. 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.

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 :) "

" Purchased a Mobal Data SIM for my iPhone while on a cruise around
Japan. The SIM arrived here in the U.S. very quickly, so I had it with me to install once I
landed in Tokyo. It worked perfectly in all the Japan ports of call. Was able to text, use
internet/Google Maps/Google Translate and send/receive emails with no issues. "

" I'm a digital nomad and I need to be connected most of the time
for my work.
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's unlimited Internet, I don't have to break the bank
while I work and explore Japan!
Thank you Mobal! "
