Are there any e-sim which offer unlimited or high data daily usage?
As I will be driving and will also be streaming music (Spotify) in the car, this will require high data usage.

I used 3gb/day e-sim from this hk-based company. Paid in USD using youtrip card. They have an unlimited plan as well.

My recent airalo expeience was positive, posiive in connectivity, didnt bother with speed tests, whatsapp, instagram, yt, google maps, X, etc. Been to ulu ulu places in Gifu and Toyama pref. Things that I normally do in singapore they worked there too. Most of the time I was on their Softbank network.

I am sure Ubigi also similarly good, the defining factors are their prices, IMO

Anyone has any experience with the roaming provided by Simba in Japan? Coverage and speed? Is it solely KDDI?

That’s about 1GB/day, are you doing only navigation?

when i roaming with low data mode, my usage is less than 500MB per day. I only use data for maps, X, IG, WA and some google search. If intensive map use is expected, it's better to dowload off line maps first before setting out.

Ive always used unlimited data in japan. But this time i wanna use the free roaming data in my sim plan, mainly for google maps. So I'm surprised to see the high usage.
