Hi guys, have been flooded with Japan requests.

Unlimited 4G data for 15 Day sim card is here, and exclusively to this deal for the time being! (Previously was a 14 Day SIM Card).

No more of the first 200mb at 4G speed then slowed down!

  Hi mate!
  
  Basically we get them in batches for periods of time from the supplier. Currently the sims expire end of September, so anyone activated by 15th September is fine. Close to your travel date we will have one to cover your trip, either look out for the deal or PM us and we will sort you out in a few weeks and give you the same deal!

      @Dice: Hey guys ordered, confirmed and date adjusted on the deal.
      
      Best we can do at the moment is 15th of October, first use by that date. So if you're landing in Japan by the 15th of October, you're covered in this deal.
      
      Anytime after that, we will have to organise a special close to your travel dates!

  Thanks a lot for the kind words mate, really appreciate it.
  
  It's funny OzBargain started off as just a place to get some clicks etc for these cards when the Aussie dollar was strong and profits were decent - but with the low Aussie dollar and other not so favourable variables, there is very little money in this industry at all.
  
  But with all the highs and lows the ozb community has been so supportive and kind, one way or another we just want to keep being a part of this family and help people travelling one way or another.
  
  So many OzB users have reached out to us and have been supportive and understanding, we don't deserve it but we appreciate it and it makes hard times so much easier.
  
  Thanks to everyone! :)

Well wishes for you and your family!

I used a 14 day sim in May this year and it could not have been a simpler process, some people argue that there are vending machines etc at the terminal but this made it so much easier.

I put the sim in once we landed, connected to the airport free wifi to set the correct apn settings ( forgot to do this at home ) and that was it, once past passport check I could use google maps etc to find out where the hell I was and use hyperdia to get the correct train. The sim made my trip all the better and easier for a first timer in Japan.
We will use TDS again in the future and highly recommend them, even if it costs a little more for the convenience, it's worth it. A+ in my book.
scotty on 22/07/2016 - 17:19

This or Yokoso SIM? Both 15 days on DoCoMo network, but Yokoso is $5 cheaper but only 3.5GB rather than unlimited. Not that I would need to use all that data to catch up on my anime simulcast when I am already in Japan…

Can also vouch for the b-mobile service for about $30. Only supported 4G bands on my Note 4 but went to some pretty rural places where it still worked (mountains and islands), although a little slow. Did have a problem on the first day (delivery never arrived at hostel), but the staff helped me ring up and it was delivered the next day at midday when I checked out!

Hey guys, I bought a Japan (Docomo 200mb 4g) + USA (T-mobile 1 month 6gb 4g) sim card from TSD and wanted to report back.

They both worked perfectly, I sent TSD an email or two and always got prompt responses

In actual fact, TSD, I can report back and confirm that specifically the T-Mobile 6gb 4g SIM works in Canada too (I was in Canada for about 10 days but didn't go to Mexico). It's awesome that it works because T-Mobile apparently has roaming agreements with a bunch of Canadian networks so the coverage there was great.

Tip: If you're in the US for longer than a month but less than 2 months you can always drop down to a lower plan (which excludes Canada/Mexico roaming) - US$3/mo for 30 min/text + US$10/week for 1gb data. That's what I did.

Can vouch for TSD, I ordered SIMs from them last year and they didn't arrive after a few weeks, contacted and they fixed it right up they worked great too.

Just some feedback from my side. Bought a Sofbank Japan Data SIM Card from them for 25AUD last year. That didn't work when arriving in Japan although within the advertised dates. I kept receiving some chinese message and gave up. It could be a mistake from them or me not understanding how to set this card up in my phone, but anyway, if I need to have my phoneand 4g in Japan next time, will upgrade my vodafone plan, arrange some less attracting but working for sure options from the airport. There is a lot of free wifi in shops.

Hi TSD,
Parents about to head off to France and Japan for a holiday leaving Australia on the 2nd of August.
Dad would love a Data SIM for Japan for when they arrive on the 21st August.

Couple of questions:
If ordered today or Monday, would the SIM arrive to 2480 by 2nd of August?
Does the SIM have to be activated in Japan or Aus?
Is the activation process difficult, dad is somewhat hopeless with configuration but can replace SIM easily enough.

Appreciate your help.
- Store RepTravelSIMSDirect @ Travel Sims Direct on 24/07/2016 - 12:19
  
  Hi,
  Sounds like an great trip for your parents!
  It's a bit of a likely but can't guarantee with AusPost to 2480 (I would suggest Express Post, just because you're away from the key major cities).
  The card has to be first inserted into the phone and used in Japan (upon arrival). It is a easy activation process and we provide an activation guide we wrote ourselves in plain English to help - I don't think he will have much trouble at all!
  
  Thanks!

  Tethering does work with these cards. Though no specific limit is put on the tethering, some telcos around the world who advertise unlimited tethering have a hidden "unfair use" limit of 50 or 100GB - not sure if this is the case with Docomo though - no one we have sold to has ever either used that much or been capped after using that much!

Hi OP, I'm in Tokyo(anywhere from Shiodome/Ginza to Akasaka) right now with the 15 Day SIM. But I'm not reaching anywhere near 4G speeds at full bars. I'm averaging 0.6/0.4mbps (down/up). Even my roaming 3G NTT Docomo speed is faster.

I'm a little bit concerned as I'll be heading off to whoop whoop tomorrow. Any way you can help me out?
- sukite on 05/08/2016 - 14:41

  Alright, I'm going to have to give my verdict after failing to receive a response from OP nor from their customer support through the website. I travel to Japan up to 2-3 times a year and this is the first time I've used TSD and I must say I'm extremely unimpressed. Using a compatible phone that supports 4G/LTE band in Japan I have found that in most places right in the heart of Tokyo I receive barely 1-2 bars. Even at full bars the speed is sub 1mbps down & up.
  
  Comparatively, my roaming with Vodafone which uses the 3G docomo reaches faster speeds than this. I've tried my local friends docomo network which is makes this a laughing stock. Tethering is out of the question as is uploading screencaps of speedtest.
  
  I wish others the best of luck with these, but I will never use this again.

APN Downland link didn't work for me.
Some advice for those with the 15day unlimited sims after arriving in Japan. The website in the instructions didn't work when I tried to download the new APN settings on iPhone6. Annoyingly Apple doesn't allow you to manually type the APN anymore.
After some googling I found the same/similar config files here

As OP says get the APN profile before leaving. I suggest that you don't leave the Narita free wifi until you're settings work.

  Instructions it came with didn't work for me either.
  
  My workaround was connecting to the Narita free wifi, navigating to http://m.apnchanger.org/ and entering the details manually to install the profile.
  
  What speeds are you getting btw? I'm getting an average of 0.75 Mbit down. I'm considering going to BicCamera and getting a B-Mobile sim if it continues to be this slow.

      I ended up getting a B-Mobile sim today as the speeds weren't getting any better.
      
      Here's a screenshot of the speedtest results. The bottom 4 are from TSD's 15day.. And the top 4 are from B-Mobile. Both use the DoCoMo network.
      
      http://imgur.com/ywglaeA
      
      There's a cap on the B-Mobile 14day travel sim (1000MB in 3 days), but still faster than the one I got from TSD.
      
      Depending on your requirements, the TSD one might be okay, but uploading any photos online takes ages, and is definitely not 4g speeds.

      @keen_7: I'm averaging about 10-15Mbit now that I've switched sims.
      
      I'm not going to bother asking for a refund since I already activated it, but I'll probably just stick with B-Mobile next time.. works out to be cheaper anyway.

  If anyone reads this and has the same problem, they messaged me this link and said to copy and paste it in safari, it now works for me.
