Good to know

Install before you fly

Install it at home on Wi-Fi. It stays off until you switch it on for data at your destination.

Keep your own SIM

Your usual SIM stays in for calls and texts. Set the Veela eSIM as your line for mobile data.

Help when you're there

The assistant answers in your language at any hour, and a person picks up anything it can't fix.

Tips for Japan

Trains and Google Maps all day use roughly 0.5 to 1 GB a day. For 7 to 10 days, 10 GB is comfortable; if you video-call home every evening, pick 20 GB or unlimited.
A pocket Wi-Fi has to be charged, carried and returned at the airport, and your group has to stay together to share it. An eSIM sits in each phone.
Download offline maps of the areas you're staying in: deep underground stations can lose signal for a few minutes.

Japan eSIM questions

Does it work in Hokkaido and Okinawa?

Yes, the plan covers all of Japan. In remote mountain areas speeds can be lower than in cities.

My iPhone was bought from a Japanese carrier. Will it work?

Only if it's unlocked. A carrier-locked phone accepts only that carrier's SIMs and eSIMs. Check in Settings › General › About › Carrier Lock before you buy.

When does the plan start?

When the eSIM first connects to a network in Japan. Installing it at home doesn't start the clock.

Is my phone compatible?

Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number and your phone is unlocked, it works. See the compatibility checker for common models.

Can I top up?

Yes. From your account, add data to the same eSIM without reinstalling it.
