Coverage and networks

Consult the supported networks for your package. Mountain regions, remote islands, underground spaces and rail tunnels can have variable reception; keep essential journey details accessible offline.

Activation

Install your eSIM before departure on reliable Wi-Fi and keep the setup information available offline. Activate it according to the plan instructions, then select the eSIM for mobile data after landing in Japan.

Device compatibility

Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. Confirm compatibility in the device settings before purchasing. Dual-SIM functionality normally lets you retain your regular number while the Japan eSIM provides data.

Hotspot and tethering

All DALO eSIM plans support personal hotspot and tethering. Share your mobile data with a laptop, tablet or another device. Hotspot usage counts toward your plan data allowance.

Japan eSIM FAQ

How much data is useful for Japan?

Navigation, translation and messaging use less data than video, frequent uploads or hotspot use. DALO combines your travel duration and usage type to suggest an appropriate plan.

How can I prepare translation and address details for Japan?

Save key addresses in the form supplied by your accommodation. If your translation app offers offline downloads, prepare them before you need to use them without a connection.

Does it work in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka?

Japan plans are intended for supported local networks across major cities. Reception may vary underground, in tunnels, mountain regions and remote destinations.

Can I keep my existing phone number in Japan?

Yes. On compatible dual-SIM phones, retain the regular SIM for calls and messages and use the eSIM for mobile data. Prevent unwanted roaming on the home SIM.
