Happy New Year guys!

We've received plenty of supportive messages over the Christmas and NY break for our SIM cards. So we're kicking of 2019 with the official release of a Japan AND Korea SIM card. If you're also heading off to Korea simply add the South Korea option!

Our SIM cards use the Softbank (Japan) SK Telecom (Korea) 4G LTE network and can be bought for 7/14/21 days, meaning you don't need to bring 3-4 SIM cards and swap them out. The SIM cards come in a Triple Cut SIM which will have standard, micro and nano sizes. APN settings are usually not required - however if you run into trouble we've put up guides on our site. SIM cards come with data only (no voice).

All our SIM cards come with, a SIM card sleeve and SIM ejector tool. Activation is a matter of plugging in your SIM card once you land. No personal identifiable information is held on these SIMs so you can dispose of freely. Our SIM cards will still work even if you go over your daily allowance (albeit at slower speeds), meaning you won't be stranded in the middle of nowhere without data.

Prepaid Japan Travel SIM Card

  • 500mb per day (resets every 24 hours)
  • 4G Softbank (Japan) SK Telecom (South Korea) Network
  • Data service only - no voice
  • Unlimited 3G data afterwards (OK for browsing OzBargain/Reddit/Google Maps)
  • Cheaper than the SIM cards from vending machines or BIC/Yodabashi Camera in Japan
  • Free Regular Post via Australia Post for all orders
  • Ships from Sydney
  • Make sure to take a look at our SIM guides before you fly out - https://www.northsim.com/sim-guides/
  • This offer is for SIM cards which have an activation expiry date of 25/03/2019 (extension for April/May available via PM)
Days Inclusions Price
7 500mb 4G LTE Data Per Day (resets every 24 hours) $19.95
14 500mb 4G LTE Data Per Day (resets every 24 hours) $29.95
21 500mb 4G LTE Data Per Day (resets every 24 hours) $39.95

    I’m in Korea now and wifi is mostly free anywhere in Seoul. Even in the street.

      Hi hyeunjun24, thanks for the top tip!
      Travelers who are heading to other cities in Korea may find that the free WiFi coverage is not as dense as Seoul.

      Thanks,
      Tony@northsim

        I'm in Ulsan and there's free WiFi everywhere as well.

        We saw the data sim at the airport but didn't buy it. Glad we made that choice as WiFi readily available in my most cities.

        What we really need is voice. Any sims with this as well?

        • Associatednorthsim @ NorthSIM on 05/01/2019 - 12:44

          Hi chibot,

          Unfortunately we are offering data only SIM cards at the moment.
          We strongly recommend to our customers to use a VoIP service if voice is required.
          We've had great success with Skype/ViberOut.

          Thanks,
          Tony@northsim

      This is why you shouldn't believe everything you read online. I'm aussie korean that visits Korea at least once a year and getting wifi is not easy even in Seoul. Wifi is free if you already have mobile plan with a Korean service provider.

      • orly on 06/01/2019 - 17:13

        When I was in Seoul, my experience was that you can get wifi readily at shopping departments and coffee places but it just depends how reliant you are on it eg using maps etc.

        • [Deactivated] on 06/01/2019 - 22:39

          Yeah you can get wifi from nearby cafe or convenience stores but it's really not reliable. You'll find yourself walking around the street trying to get free wifi from random shops.

      Hi watwatwat,

      We can extend the activation dates for customers who are travelling in April/May.
      The expiry dates allow us to offer competitive pricing, it also allows us to provide our customers, the best service and support we can.

  • Trainer Red on 05/01/2019 - 13:20

    Hi,

    Thanks for the post

    What does 14+South Korea mean? Does this mean 14 days in Japan and Korea? Or does it mean the first 14 days from activation in Japan + Till sim expiry in Korea.

    • Associatednorthsim @ NorthSIM on 05/01/2019 - 13:30

      Hi Trainer Red,

      The 14+South Korea option means that the SIM card is valid upon activation for 14 days either in Japan or South Korea. There are no limitations as to which country a customer needs to be in first. Similarly there are no limitations if you go back and forth between the countries (eg. Japan-South Korea-Japan)

      Thanks,
      Tony@northsim

      Hi kei,

      After 500mb the speed will get limited to 3G and will reset within 24 hours.

      Thanks,

      It defaults to express postage. He probably just clicked without reading it.

    Hi OP do we have unlimited 3G after the first 500MB expired?

    Also, do u have one for 12days only?

    • PTS on 05/01/2019 - 15:42

      Also, what kind of GBs are we looking at for "fair use"

    • Associatednorthsim @ NorthSIM on 05/01/2019 - 18:10

      Hi rickie0704,

      Correct - there is unlimited 3G after the first 500MB. Please note that unlimited 3G as per the description is suitable for light web based tasks, it is not recommended for video streaming, gaming etc.OK for browsing OzBargain/Reddit/Google Maps and messaging.

      The 500mb limit resets daily.

    • Associatednorthsim @ NorthSIM on 05/01/2019 - 18:49

      Hi gutenmuach,

      WiFi hotspot can currently only be enabled on Android or Pocket WiFi devices only.
      Once hotspot is enabled any device can connect to it.

        Hi Tony, base on your comment, does it mean I won’t be able to use the hotspot function of my iPhone with the SIM card from this deal?!
        Will the SIM card work ok in a pocket wifi I had from Vodafone years ago (unlocked already)? I think it’s a 3G pocket wifi. Thanks.

        • Associatednorthsim @ NorthSIM on 05/01/2019 - 21:42

          Hi rkung,

          That's correct - unfortunately this SIM card does not work with iPhone's personal hotspot.
          It should work in your pocket wifi (APN settings will need to be configured). Our APN settings are in our SIM guides located here:

        • Nads2407 on 06/01/2019 - 15:40

          2 weeks is normally 39.95. so there is a $10 discount on the 2 weeks.

    Hi OP, please advise if your SIM card can be used in a telstra mobile wifi router. I will be travelling to Japan in May with my son for 11 days , so we can share one card between us use mainly for Google maps and TripAdvisor. Thanks

      If the Telstra mobile wifi router is unlocked it can be used with our SIM card.

    Folks, the coupon code got hammered overnight. It has since been refreshed.

    Thank you all for the kind words and support.

      Just tried to buy 21 days + South Korea but it said out of stock. Any chance to restock?

        Hi kingkong121,
        We are looking to restock within the month.

        Thanks,
