Do not buy the Clearance esim. It's not mentioned on the website, but it's routed through Hong Kong. The connection is very bad and 5G seems capped at slow speeds. I had issues keeping a consistent connection and ended up buying a MobiMatter esim that has worked flawlessly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does EscapeSIM offer unlimited data eSIM for Japan?
EscapeSIM does not provide an unlimited data eSIM plan for Japan. The available options are fixed‑data plans that give a set allowance for a set period. For example, the CMLink Japan 50GB plan offers 50GB of high‑speed data for 30 days at a price of $33.66 USD, and the Japan Local KDDI Light 30GB 10 days plan supplies 30GB for 10 days at $18.02 USD. For travelers who need a lot of data but do not require unlimited usage, these fixed‑data plans can be more cost‑effective than purchasing a plan that caps data for a short time. However, if a user consumes data extensively, a different provider with an unlimited offer might be better suited to their needs.
Does EscapeSIM offer Japan eSIM with phone number and SMS?
EscapeSIM does not provide a Japan eSIM that includes a phone number or SMS capability. Only data‑only plans are available. Travelers can use data‑based messaging and calling apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage to communicate without needing a traditional phone number or SMS.
How many data plans does EscapeSIM offer for Japan?
EscapeSIM offers 27 single‑country data plans for Japan and 22 multi‑country plans that include Japan. Plans range from $2.96 to $163.99, with data caps between 1 GB and 50 GB, and validity periods from 4 to 60 days. Some plans provide a fixed amount of data, while others set a daily data cap for shorter validity periods. All plans support tethering and require eKYC for activation.
