Think most of us min-max too much to have tried it. And it seems to have started service in Oct 2022 so there won't be any old reviews from them. Their selling point to me is the option for phone number service at a premium. Most of the time we can get away with it without a Japanese phone number nowadays.

Maybe you can be our vanguard and try it out

Thks for the replies ,yes indeed it started quite late Oct 22 n Japan opened not too long ago.....

I decided to use Circles auto roam (90cents per minute) + ICC Japan (2gb at fast speed+ 12 days +remaining after 2 gb at 133 kbps) -->$42.90

Mobal too ex and the payment is 2 tier ,pay to activate oso quite confusing hence I use the above model haha

Just came back from a 2 week trip, I bought a mobal card for myself and Ubigi esim for my parents

Having a Japanese number can be quite convenient, esp when you can use it to register for their ride hailing app (GO). I end up using it quite a lot while I was there. The card itself is from Softbank, I didnt have any signal issues

The main problem is with activation. You might have to wait up to 24 hours upon activation before you can use the card. I had to be without any data for an entire day before having it activated

You can have it delivered to your house before your trip (must buy it at least 2 weeks before), although Im not sure if activation can be done before you reach Japan

Otherwise, I collected the card the JTB counter at Narita. It ended up being a long wait because thats where you collect the JR pass as well, so a lot of people in the queue. I would opt for the free delivery option next time

Ubigi worked flawless on both iphone and samsung android. Just make sure you follow their settings step by step to get it activated
