The Japan sims say 8/15 days on the website, just checking is it 8/15 or 7/14?
- Store RepTravelSIMSDirect @ Travel Sims Direct on 20/09/2016 - 14:05
  
  Hey mate, sorry about that. Put the old dates in the description. Edited now, it is definitely 8 and 15! Thanks.
  - sistermay on 20/09/2016 - 16:03
    
    Hi OP, if I arrived Japan on evening of 4/11 and returning on 12/11 would the 8 day card be sufficient the whole period ?
    - Store RepTravelSIMSDirect @ Travel Sims Direct on 20/09/2016 - 16:23
      
      Pretty sure it lasts for 8 days from time of activation. So if you activated on the 4th at 6pm it will expire at 6pm on the 12th.
      
      Not sure if it's an exactly science always, might get a few extra hours or a couple short changed.

      @TravelSIMSDirect:
      Hi OP, if I arrive in Japan evening 28/10, can I activate on 29/10 instead so my 15 days can last up till 12/11? Should I put in 29/10 as arrival date when purchasing from your website?
    - Store RepTravelSIMSDirect @ Travel Sims Direct on 22/09/2016 - 23:49
      
      @plain_biscuit: Hey mate, I'd suggest to out the 29th. Though we are running very low on sims for that period. Happy for you to purchase, but is it ok if we ship out in 3 weeks time or so with a new bunch of sims?
      Thanks!

      @TravelSIMSDirect:
      Ok, I'll put in arrival date as 29/10. If you ship in 3 weeks time I'm ok, but the "or so" comment kinda worries me that you may not get your new batch in time. I'll purchase one now if you still have one ready to post?

- Store RepTravelSIMSDirect @ Travel Sims Direct on 20/09/2016 - 14:06
  
  Hey mate, would love to but can't at the moment - because of supply increases in costs and a few other variables causing extra overheads out of our control.
  It will likely be the last time we do the DoCoMo at 25% off as well, as that is increasing as of this weekend too!

  Whoops I left that in from the old deal, it is now "unlimited 4G data".
  
  But in reality our users have had varying 4G speeds, some have consistently had slow 4G and others report ridiculously fast speeds all trip.
  
  In reality, a good expectation is a good decent speed for your trip.

BW296 on 20/09/2016 - 14:25

Rep,

DoCoMo sim needs to be activated by November 30th 2016: "Unlimited Data for 7, 14 or 30 Days (7/14/30 Days begins after first use)"

Just confirming this means we can activate the card, but the 7/14/30 days doesnt start until I begin using it early next year in Japan?

I would not recommend anyone purchase from these guys, they ripped me off only a few months ago.
I purchased one of those 14 days unlimited use travel sims and never received it.
After emailing them 3 times, i got a reply advising that another sim has been shipped additional times.
I found it odd that sim cards can go missing multiple times so asked for some sort of tracking as proof of delivery.
This was when the they stopped replying to my emails. 4 emails later, i still have no response and out of pocket 54 dollars.

Anyone looking at purchasing these sims should read the reviews others have left and avoid this service like the plague
http://www.productreview.com.au/p/travelsim.html?rating=1#re…
Even if you do receive the product, most users experience very slow to no signal.

I personally believe TravelSIMSDirect should be banned from listing deals on Ozbargain.

  Just so you know we have serviced thousands of ozbargainers and there is a reason why 99% love us. I don't know why AusPost would lose multiple times, but we know we have ridiculous issues with customers who insist delivery to large office complexes with many floors and companies.
  
  And that product review is for another company :/

      EDIT: Thanks for the info. Because you ordered 7 months ahead (and against the ozB limit - we waited for sims for your activation date) and possibly updated postal address in the meantime, which may account for "lost mail".
      Alls well that ends well, we understand miscommunications and your sim will be with you before your trip still (at no extra cost to you)! :)

  They're 21 days only and come with only 2GB of 4G data. This might be a good option for some, but if you want more 4G data or are away for more than 3 weeks the other SIMs are a better fit.

I bought their SIM card for my trip last month and I was quite disappointed. Be aware of the speeds that you get with the Docomo 4G. I could not achieve anywhere better than 0.6mbps down with their SIM card. Didn't help that their response time over 2 weeks. I'm going back again next month but I wont be using them again.
- Store RepTravelSIMSDirect @ Travel Sims Direct on 20/09/2016 - 15:40
  
  Sorry to hear about your experience mate, I know DoCoMo has been in the high 3G range lately for a lot of customers (reaching 4G traditional speeds has been hard). Hope we can make it up to you one day, maybe we a complimentary sim for a USA or something you haven't tried before!
  - sukite on 22/09/2016 - 04:55
    
    What bothered me was that I borrowed my local friend's DoCoMo SIM card right after and I managed to get 4G speeds no problem.
    
    I don't visit the states regularly enough unfortunately. However, I'm travelling again to Japan for a few days next month and if you guys want to send me another SIM to try, I'll be happy to give it another go. And if it works as advertised, you may have won yourself a regular customer who travel multiple times a year to Japan.
    - hamwhisperer on 22/09/2016 - 17:50

      There's been 2 SIM sellers on OzB in the past week offering (apparent) unlimiited accounts for 7 or 15 days……. I assume there is in fact a limit but unlimited would surely be over 1GB before the AUP and slow you down?
