Your Japan SIM card will automatically activate on the "Country Arrival Date" you provide us (this should be the same date of arrival as per your travel itinerary). If your travel dates change or cancel, you need to notify us prior to the scheduled activation.
When you arrive in Japan, insert the SIM into your handset. The SIM will self activate once your phone receives cellular signal. Your handset should auto configure to the correct APN. If the APN does not auto configure, use the below APN.
Do not configure the APN when your Australian SIM is plugged in, as the APN will be pointing to the Docomo network. Once you return from Japan, simply delete the installed APN configuration from your phone.
- If your handset is dual SIM, ensure only the Docomo SIM is inserted in the primary SIM slot of your handset.
- Enable Data Roaming and 3G/4G/LTE Data
Note: You will need to configure your phone's APN in order to connect to the network and use data.
iPhone APN Setup
- Go to Settings - Mobile - Mobile Data Network
- Enter in APN details
APN: ppsim.jp Username: pp@sim Password: jpn
Android APN Setup (Configure within Network Settings)

- Create a new APN with the following details, then hit save
APN: ppsim.jp Name: ppsim Username: pp@sim Password: jpn
Reboot your phone after the APN has been setup.
*Note: If the APN is not set up correctly, the cellular connection bars will show but data will not flow through
The Unlimited Data Japan SIM Card cannot be recharged. Please purchase multiple SIMs if coverage beyond the validity period is required.
We recommend using the Docomo SIM for normal travel usage. Eg. Google maps, emails, web browsing, VoIP calls/texts etc. Docomo may monitor how data is consumed for fair use. We do not recommend using this SIM for data heavy tasks such as watching video content, streaming or gaming purposes.

All of our products are Prepaid. The features and allowances on each of our Prepaid Travel SIMs are all disclosed upfront. So you know exactly what you're getting when you purchase and there are no hidden surprises later on.
All of our Prepaid Travel SIMs work in areas where cellular signal is available. At open sea, when you're outside range of network towers, cellular signal may be weak or not available. However coverage will be available closer to port.
As long as your phone/tablet is unlocked they should be compatible with our prepaid Travel SIMs. If your handset is more than 7 years old, please contact us for advice on compatibility.
If you think your phone/tablet is locked, we recommend contacting your Aussie carrier for unlocking. If your phone/tablet has been issued to you from your employer, please check with them for compatibility as some work devices have additional security applications installed.
