How activation works in Japan

You buy on the website, we send a smart install link to WhatsApp, and we walk your phone through setup. Apple direct install where supported, with QR and manual fallback for every Android.

Once installed, turn on data roaming for the new line when you land. We're already in the chat to help you with that step too — most travelers are connected within 90 seconds of touching down.

Honest fine print: not every Android supports direct install. We always provide a QR code and manual setup as fallback — and a human on WhatsApp if you get stuck.

Phone compatibility

Most modern eSIM-capable phones from the last 4–5 years are supported — iPhone XS / XR or newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 or newer, Google Pixel 3 or newer, plus most Xiaomi, OPPO, and Huawei flagships.

  • Phone must be unlocked / SIM-free
  • eSIM support enabled in firmware
  • Carrier compatibility verified by Airalo at checkout
  • Unsure? ask us on WhatsApp — we check before you pay.

Not sure which plan?

Tell us how long you're traveling and what you do online. We'll pick the right plan for you on WhatsApp — most travelers settle on 5–10 GB for two weeks.
