What is the difference between a Country of Residence IP address and a Regional IP address? 

A Country of Residence IP address is an internet address that matches the country you have selected during your Ubigi’s account creation. It allows you to access geo-restricted content as if you were home.

A regional IP address, on the other hand, provides a more precise location within a specific region or area of the country, offering tailored services based on your local geographic position.

Excellent Network Coverage
I’ve used ubigi e-sims several times through my travels in east asian countries and the service has always been excellent. Never encountered connectivity issues and the speed was also satisfactory.

Ubigi e-sim for Japan... recommended.
Had no problems at all with connecting to the Internet. I hadn't left the plane yet when the e-sim kicked in and I was connected! Have used it fairly constantly using Google Maps and had no problems whatsoever. Would highly recommend this e-sim.
