Will the Japan SIM expire if I don't use it?
Your Japan SIM card is set up for use based on the travel dates you provide us. If this changes, you need to let us know.
Are there any data speed restrictions on this SIM? Can I use this SIM for unlimited downloads/uploads?
There are no data restrictions. However we recommend using the Softbank SIM for normal travel usage. Eg. google maps, emails, social media browsing, web browsing, VoIP calls/texts etc. Softbank may monitor how data is consumed for fair use. We do not recommend using this SIM for data heavy tasks such as streaming content or gaming purposes.



Please only configure the APN upon arrival in Japan. Do not configure the APN when your Australian SIM is plugged in, as the APN will be pointing to the Softbank network. Once you return from Japan, simply delete the installed APN configuration from your phone.

- If your handset is dual SIM, ensure only the Softbank SIM is inserted in the primary SIM slot of your handset.
- Enable Data Roaming and 3G/4G/LTE Data
