How can I buy a Ubigi data plan on iPad?

To purchase a Ubigi data plan on your iPad, follow these simple steps:

1. Open the iPad’s settings: Navigate to the Cellular Data section where you will find the option to set up mobile data, click on Find a new plan and select Ubigi.

2. Access the purchase: In iOS 17.4 and above, a native pop-up window on the iPad will allow you to access the purchase website directly. (This works even if your iPad is not connected to Wi-Fi).

3. Select your plan: Choose the desired Ubigi data plan from the available options within the interface.

4. QR code activation: Once your plan is selected and purchased, a QR code will be displayed at the end of the process. Simply long-press on it to add your eSIM instantly—no camera scan necessary.

For iOS 17.4 and later, you can also receive a new QR code via email if the iPad is connected to Wi-Fi.

💡Once the eSIM is installed, be sure to download the Ubigi app and create your account to monitor your usage in real-time and top up your plan anytime if needed.

Great service for a good price!
After searching the internet for great but affordable mobile e-sim providers I came across ubigi and after reading reviews about it on Reddit and other sites I was sold. And i can tell you it worked great. I added it a week before I left to Japan to my phone and it automatically activated when I arrived in the targeted country, which is very handy! The reception is great anywhere I went mostly larger cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto but also Kanazawa and Koyasan worked great with mostly 5G reception. There were a few times I had to wait maybe 10sec to get a better internet connection but it was never an issue. I got 10gb for 2,5 weeks and I had 2,6gb left. So you don't need that much data if you just use it for some texting, surfing web, maps and gpt usage. My girlfriend did have more issues with the same package but in a Samsung S20. We don't know why.. but in the end it mostly worked fine for her too. So I can easily recommend Ubigi and will use it next time too!

Used in Japan
Used in Japan, great connection 99% of the time as their network is very vast in size and coverage area is huge. Great prices overall I used the 10gb just incase, as I was not sure how much GB I would be using for GPS and other navigation stuff while getting around Tokyo. Travelled up to Sapporo and then visited family middle of Hokkaido. Was a bit tricky at first to get it running so anyone who uses this you really need to check the instructions on the steps to follow to guide you through the process.

Reliable and affordable
Definitely recommending Ubigi eSIM as it saved me a couple of times already. Been twice abroad when my usual service provider actually failed me and I was able to activate Ubigi plan while still abroad. Plus the tariffs are cheap and data always is enough for me.
