      Enough for maps, basic searching etc. You don't intend to be streaming HD content all day long while in Japan right?

    • em on 18/10/2022 - 07:18

      I have a 60gb 365 day prepaid account and I never use all of it. Not everyone is a heavy data user.

      • prankster on 18/10/2022 - 08:08

        Agreed I’ve got a 130gb Pre paid and I’ve only used 9.5gb over 2 months so I think 6gb for 15 days should be suffice. Like Itwo said you only will use it for maps and basic searching when overseas, you not going to be YouTubing or watching Netflix and if you did you’d do it at the hotel

    • tanksinatra on 18/10/2022 - 08:43

      Agree. If you take lots of photos and accidently leave your cloud synchronisation on you'll burn through 6GB

      • Store RepSimsDirect @ SimsDirect on 18/10/2022 - 09:36

        Yep, we recommend turning sync off to preserve data 👍

    • plmko on 18/10/2022 - 10:29

      It's 2022 why would I waste my time needing to pickup a sim card at two specific airports?

      • UncleCheapSteam on 18/10/2022 - 13:13

        it’s up to you, you can waste time checking how much data you have used daily, to ensure you don’t run out of data for your last couple of days so you don’t get lost in a foreign country.

        Pickup locations are just on our way out of airports anyway.

        Again if a small bowl of rice is sufficient for you on a daily basis it’s fine. But I prefer all you can eat buffet.

        • plmko on 18/10/2022 - 15:40

          I prefer not wasting my overseas trips drowning my head in digital noise.

          But if for some reason 10gb in two weeks isn't enough, I just use the free WIFI that comes in almost any Airbnb place you rent to upload bulk cloud storage which I run overnight. In reality that's rare because all my gear is expandable via SD card back up.

          Also we're not all landing in Tokyo/Osaka or when those pick-up kiosk windows are open.

          Anyway, not after a bowl of rice or buffet. Just the flexibility to travel my way thanks.

    I just bought a couple of eSims 30 day. Can I confirm - do I need to install the eSim in Australia? (Ie. Before I depart). Going on holidays for 32 days, therefore would like to activate on the third day (which I’ll be in Singapore).

      The day you activate counts as day 1, so the expiry will be on the 14th of Feb.

      Just also want to be clear the SIM needs to be active before 31/01/2022.

      -Aidan

        Ah ok thank you for the info!

        As per the last day of expiry, would it still work on that date? For example following the example above would it work on the 14th?

        So the last day to activate would be the 30/01/2022.
