The best SIM network as it really never got disconnected even in the remote areas. We did few hikes in deep mountains outside Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, the network has never dropped. Thank you UBIGI I will use this network again.

From start to finish the process is exactly as it says on the web site. Plus speeds are as reported. Would highly recommend this eSIM. I also find the app helpful I. Tracking your usage.

Connection was good
Connection was good. Should be more clear on the instructions for installation. Example: how to setup the Sim settings in Sim management on android phone.

Fair
It works fine, good coverage, and good speed ! And the most important : regarding Data usage I never have the feeling to be cheated (what is always the case with GSM providers like ComSwiss, esirnuS etc.) !!!

The service was easy to set-up
The service was easy to set-up, competitive pricing and large area of coverage. The only thing that I found irritating was that often I needed to restart my phone for the data to be active again

Works quite well
Works quite well. No issues once I activated. The only drawback is figuring out when and how to activate. Twice I have been dinged by my cell provider for a days charge. It is not clear where I can or should activate while in my mobile provider's area

Great Data plan rate options
Great Data plan rate options, but no notice about voice usage being unavailable unless using a specific app like WhatsApp.

This was so easy to buy and even easier for me to load on my phone, so far it has been brilliant in Tokyo,worked perfectly, still got a week in Japan traveling around, for someone who's not great with this sort of thing and was worried about setting it up it's been a dream Will recommend this to my friends who are going to Japan next year
