OFFICIALLY SOLD OUT OF ALL SIMS AT 23:49 3/9/15. THANKS SO MUCH GUYS, HOPE TO STILL BE AROUND AND ON HERE AGAIN SOON. IF WE DON'T, WE LOVE YOU GUYS! KEEP ROCKING!

Hi all,
It is with a heavy heart and some sadness that we have to say that our business has faced a lot of diversity recently: the Australian dollar has ruined most of our great price strategy we came with and our biggest seller (USA Travel SIMS) is currently going through a current landscape change with their SIM cards that again confronts us with some very hard decisions!

Our focus is still to take care of all our customers! It is in this spirit that we are doing what very well may be a one and final clearance sale on our prefunded cards that have incredibly high reliance and need no activations ect. These are going at a steal and dare we say it these prices will never been seen again! Only while stocks last.

We will do our best to survive this tough time but if we don't, OzBargain it has been a pleasure. TSD signing out!

Hey. I'm looking for a data SIM for Japan, but I arrive on 18 November :(. Any chance of a Docomo 14 day for this start date? Anything else you can recommend/sell me?!
- chinezejew on 02/09/2015 - 20:28
  
  I bought one for $44 last time

  This is the cheapest offer yet.
  
  I am traveling in October, (feel dooooped for being proactive)
  
  "To celebrate our brand spanking new site we are selling our pretty popular DoCoMo Japan 14 Day Unlimited Data SIM Card for the lowest price yet! $45.95 including shipping!"
  
  I suggest you purchase in October (TravelSimDirect seems to be posting their offers here monthly)

    Hi guys, Ok this is going to likely be a tad confusing but here goes. The 14 day cards expire completely on the 30th of November i.e. even if you first use it on say the 28th you will only get 2 days of data.
    So if you guys landed and first used on the 18th, you will not get 14 days of data, only until the 30th of November.
    For simplicity we changed the date early so everyone is covered. Up to you guys if you want a card with less days.

I'm in Japan for 21 days and want to use a 7 day sim and 14 day sim sequentially. When filling out the form it asks for country arrival date, I just want to clarify that if I put in the same country arrival date for both and I don't touch my second sim until the first one has expired I will get the full 21 days?

The checkout menu sets the country arrival date to activation date and I cannot find on your website what the term activation date actually means.

  Most carriers are changing the way they sell, activate and make available prepaid USA sims. They are pushing for a system that only supports USA physical retailers being able to sell i.e. if an Aussie wants one ideally they will make you go in store when there and pay full RRP mark ups. We will do our best to stop this but it is out of our hands mostly.

I'll be in Japan from the 28/09 - 07/10. This looks like a fantastic deal.
However, at my work I have come across people from around the world who have purchased a "preactivated" sim card for their travels to Australia only to find out that when they get here the SIM doesn't work and they need to contact the carrier's customer service.
IF this were the case, are you the ones to contact them for me seeing as you activated the sim and since I don't speak Japanese?
- Store RepTravelSIMSDirect @ Travel Sims Direct on 03/09/2015 - 11:21

Hi guys, instead of flooding the comments section with an individual reply to all the supportive comments I thought I would just say a massive thank you to everyone. It is a very stressful period but the kind words mean sooo much, you guys rock!
Have been a part of OzBargain for a long time. I remember deals like free custom calendars from Harvey Norman, insane video game deals when 'Game' was taking on EB Games at one stage, those infamous boxing day listings so we all know exactly where to go at dawn on the 27th of December and when my daughter was born OzB helped me find the best for her with what was a limited budget.
This place has given so much, and it's all thanks to the great community. I hope we have given a little back. The support and response for us in this hard time epitomizes what OzB is really about. This place is one of the best online communities around.
Thank you all so very much!

Dissapointingly, given the excellent feedback from other users, I have been sent a different product than ordered.

I ordered the 14 day Docomo sim in micro size. They have sent me the nano size with some dodgy adapters. These ones to be precise: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/155307

There seems to be many warnings to stay away from sim adapters, because they can catch and damage the fragile sim pins inside the phone. Both here in previous deals and on other forums there are plenty of posts by people that have written-off their smartphone using these.

Fair enough, they ran out of micro size. But I don't want to risk it, so will seek an exchange or refund.
- mister_snrub on 08/09/2015 - 20:10
