What is e-SIM?
eSIM stands for "embedded SIM" and refers to a SIM function that is pre-installed in the smartphone itself. Unlike before, there is no need to insert a small SIM card; communication becomes possible simply by downloading a profile (contract information).
Three great benefits for travelers
1. No need to replace SIM cards
All you need to do is make some simple settings in your phone's settings, so there's no need to swap out the SIM card.
2. Ideal for international travel
If you purchase and set up an e-SIM in advance, you will be able to use Japanese radio waves from the moment you arrive in Japan.
No need to search for pocket Wi-Fi or SIM cards at the airport.
3. Environmentally friendly
e-SIM is also eco-friendly as it does not require a plastic SIM card.
