FAQ

Can I get a SIM card without a Japanese bank account?

Some carriers like GTN Mobile accept overseas credit cards. Others like Rakuten Mobile accept major international credit cards (Visa, Mastercard). Some carriers also offer convenience store payment options that don't require a bank account.

Can I bring my own phone from my home country?

Yes, as long as your phone is SIM-unlocked and supports Japanese frequency bands. Most modern smartphones (iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, etc.) work in Japan. Check that your phone supports Band 1, 3, and 8 (for SoftBank/LINEMO) or Band 1, 3, and 19 (for docomo).

How long does it take to get a SIM card?

In-store sign-up typically takes 30-60 minutes and you can use your SIM the same day. Online applications take 3-5 days for physical SIM delivery. eSIM activation can be completed within a few hours of application approval.

What if my Japanese is limited?

GTN Mobile offers support in multiple languages including Vietnamese, Chinese, and English. Rakuten Mobile has an English website. Major carrier shops in areas with large foreign populations often have multilingual staff. You can also bring a friend who speaks Japanese to help.
