Great eSIM for holiday
I bought a 30 day data only eSIM for our trip to Japan from England. I installed it in the UK the day before travelling and once I got to Japan, it was activated. I had great fast coverage wherever we went, from Tokyo to Osaka, with some rural towns in between. I had better and faster coverage than my UK sim provider and was very pleased that I had it.

Thank you for your review and we really appreciate your feedback! We are pleased that the data connection exceeded your expectations and we hope to hear from you again in the future!
Made life stress-free while travelling
Used this everyday whilst traveling around Japan. It worked much better than the cheap device I got last time which never had a signal or much data. Having huge data meant I could watch anything for as long as I wanted during long Shinkansen rides. I didn’t have to sweat about how much data I was consuming so kids were happy too. So glad we got this. Big help when you need to use Google Maps/ Goggle translate or research places to go and eat at.

Bad experience
Bad experience. According to directions from Mobal, i should get connectivity within 24 hours max, actually should be 15-30 min. Coming on 40 hrs, no activation code provided, due to provider issues “please be patient “. That is not what was promised. Asked support 3x for cancel and refund as they have not delivered product as promised got zero response. So customer support is not responding, I have spent $$ and have nothing. I need to go get a physical SIM card and need Mobal to pay me back.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for any frustration the delayed activation has caused you!
Regrettably, a system-wide issue at the network level caused delays in eSIM activations, affecting some of our customers, including yourself. We understand you paid for immediate service, and we are sorry that these issues prevented us from delivering the service within the timeframe we pride ourselves on.
The issue has since been resolved, and all eSIMs have been activated. However, we completely understand that you’ve made alternative arrangements. As such, we would be happy to provide a full refund for your order. Please kindly send an email to care@mobal.com with your order number, and we will ensure the refund is processed promptly.
Once again, we are truly sorry for the inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience and understanding.
Arnaque totale
Arnaque totale. Achat de 2 esim 50 Go pour notre voyage de 16j au Japon. Tout va bien jusqu’au moment d’activer les cartes la veille du départ…les codes sont en cours d’émission, mais une problème technique chez le fournisseur empêche la création des codes, ça fait 3 jours que le problème n’est pas résolu, aucune nouvelle du service client, malgré les relances

Mobal works ‘almost’ flawless
Mobal works almost flawlessly, but for travel in rural japan reception is not the best. It’s sad it’s on the Docomo network and not SoftBank. The ESIM pickup was horrible, I arrived in Osaka KIX in the evening, the pickup point had just closed. I had to sleep in the terminal just so I could pick up the e sim in the late morning… and the fact that it is a esim that needs to be physically delivered too… it’s stupid. I know it’s due to regulations but the pickup point should at least be 24 hours at an airport or multiple pickup locations.
Edit: thank you Mobal for your reply on the review but the information you are giving me is incorrect. I have not been in touch with you earlier through email. I stay to my opinion that the delivery of your e-sims are not the best, but otherwise your services are pretty great. Of course it was my choice to sleep in the terminal, but I really needed the esim asap and the most flexible option to me was to wait until the pickup point opened which was a whole nights wait in the terminal. I feel there must be better options or just other pickup point in the city for situations like these where the customer arrives evening time or late nights

We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with feedback regarding your recent experience with our service.
Using the details you have provided, we believe we have located your account and emails to our Customer Service team.
We can see that prior to collecting your Japan Voice + Data eSIM Access Code, a member of our team explained the I.D. requirements (for voice capable eSIMs) that are entirely outside of our control.
We also provided you with the collection point opening hours on a number of occasions and advised that if you arrived at the pick-up point out of hours, you could always collect your order the next day or from one of our other collection locations.
As we did not hear back from you after this information was provided, we assumed that you had collected the Access Code without issue; however, we are sorry to hear that this was not the case.
Thank you once again for your feedback and if there is anything else we can assist you with in the future, please do not hesitate to contact our team again!

Mobal fulfills a need in Japan for foreigners
Mobal provided exactly the service I needed from 2017-2023. Their products are reliable and their customer service is prompt and fair. I'm grateful to Mobal for providing a service accessible to foreign people living in Japan. If you are new to Japan, Mobal is the obvious choice for convenience. I only changed carriers because I joined a family plan.

A Mobal e-sim during my last visit to…
A Mobal e-sim during my last visit to Japan made the trip so much easier. I’ve used a physical data sim from them before, and the first time I needed help from their customer service. But the e-sim was really straightforward and easy to install.
The price is very competitive, and I like the fact that they give some of their profits to support good causes.

No more vacation hold on version 2.0 SIM?? :(
For many years, I had your version 1.0 SIM that allowed for a vacation suspend (so that I didn't have to pay the monthly fee whenever I was absent from Japan for a period of time). That SIM was accidentally disconnected last year when I was simply trying to put my SIM back on vacation suspend - and upon discovering this a year later, I was told your version 2.0 no longer allows for a vacation suspend. This is a HUGE miss for many expats like me who do have to bounce back and forth between countries and I would love it if the vacation suspend can be applied to your version 2.0 SIM. Otherwise it is a huge overhead for me having to change phone number everytime I return to Japan... with my existing Line app/PayPay app still having the old phone number associated. Thanks for your consideration!

Hi Jim, thank you so much for taking the time to provide your feedback.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience that was caused by the vacation plan for our older Japan Unlimited V1 SIM cards being discontinued in October last year. Please be advised that this was due to changes made by our service provider which were unfortunately outside of our control.
We understand that a number of our customers travel to and from Japan on a regular basis and retaining their Japanese phone number is important, so we can confirm that we are looking at offering a suspension plan for our Japan Voice + Data SIM/eSIM products in the not too distant future.
If you are interested in finding out more about this new suspension plan, we recommend signing up to our newsletter, as more details will be provided once this plan has been launched!

Experience Japan like a local
Mobal offers voice/text/data plan that allows travelers to have a Japanese phone number necessary for many ticketed events that must be purchased in advance. Also helpful for calling and accepting calls from local businesses. E-sim needs to be setup after activation. This is easy to do but can be overlooked if you are used to physical simm that was basically plug n play.
