To install your GotoeSIM, scan the QR code we sent you on your device. Make sure to do this before your flight. Once in Japan, your eSIM will automatically activate, providing you with data immediately.

I used GotoeSIM in Japan last month. Install the QR code before you leave, and it should switch on as soon as you turn on your phone there. Super convenient!

For smooth activation, ensure your device supports eSIM and that your regular SIM is set for roaming if you plan to receive calls. Also, double-check that the eSIM is enabled in your device settings.

Check your phone settings to ensure mobile data is set to use the eSIM. I've had issues before because I forgot this step, and it's simple to fix!

I recommend downloading any travel apps you need before you leave. This way, once you land in Japan and the eSIM kicks in, you can hit the ground running without worrying about slow connections.

Japan has excellent eSIM coverage, so you should have no reception issues. Just make sure your phone is unlocked, or the eSIM won't work.

I suggest having your regular SIM in a safe place while you switch to eSIM. It's easy to lose the little tray. This setup was a lifesaver during my trip!

Don't forget to carry a portable charger. Your phone will be doing a lot of re-adjusting as it switches networks, especially on arrival. Better safe than sorry!
