Great 4G LTE connectivity but hiccups with activation!
Great 4G LTE connectivity throughout my 14-day (9/22 to 10/05/25) trip in Japan. KYOTO, NARA, OSAKA, TOKYO. I do wish 5G data speed was available. I do love the massive data plan 50GB for 16 days.
I did have a little hiccup activating my eSIMs on the 1st day. I was getting worried that I had wasted my money. One eSIM had the wrong preset APN settings. I needed to find a local SIM retailer in the HND Airport for help and manually change the APN settings.
I did not get the activation email of the 2nd eSIM until 12+ hours of arriving Japan. I requested the activating email before I departed USA on 9/20/25 @ 1600 ET. The activation email information didn't arrive in my inbox until 9/22/25 @ 1800 JST. I had to email Mobal service center for the activation email when I arrived in Japan using the airport's Wi-Fi.

Almosr perfect
All went smoothly except:
* the set-up is entirely self-service. The instructions are clear, but some human assistance at the collection point would be even better
* my first attempted connection was in a rural area with a very weak docomo signal and was unable to connect. No problem after moving to a town. A warning from Mobal would have helped.
I would use Mobal again.

I've used Mobal before and was delighted
I've used Mobal before and was not disappointed so it was natural to use the service again. This time it was even easier to set up on my phone, not because I've used it before but because Mobal have improved things, it is almost a single click process, nothing to make a note of, nothing that's difficult to understand, just a QR code to view and that's it.

Extremely frustrating experience
Extremely frustrating experienceâ I should have read the product page more carefully but according to the main box on the product page, my device is esim compatible. If I had dug further into some obscured drop down menus, I would have seen that I also needed my phone to be unlocked. Again, my fault, but it seems reasonable that I could get a refund since I didn't use the esim and noticed the mistake and reached out immediately. They let me know promptly that they don't offer refunds in this situation which feels like a pretty scummy way to make $26.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are truly sorry for the confusion and frustration this situation has caused you.
We completely understand how it could feel misleading if, after reading the âIs my device eSIM-compatible?â section, you believed your phone would work with our service. As you correctly pointed out, that section does not explicitly mention that the device must be fully unlocked. While this requirement is mentioned later on the product purchase page, we recognize that it could easily be missed if you relied only on the compatibility section.
We have shared your valuable feedback with our team, and we will be updating our website to make this requirement clearer and more consistent across all sections. Our goal is to ensure that no future customer encounters the same misunderstanding.
Our agent has replied to your email regarding this matter, so please check our response.
We truly appreciate your valuable feedback!
The eSim had excellent network coverage in Japan
The eSim had excellent network coverage during my entire trip to Japan (Tokyo, Hakone, Kamakura, Nara, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima).
If you have initial problems with the network, it is best to enter the settings manually.

It's a scam!
Tourists, be careful, this service is a scam! They promise the world but the Internet is absolutely slow, close to zero-speed downloads. Their only benefit towards their competitors is the fact they provide foreigners a number, but you should definitely ignore this and go for a more suitable provider.
I signed up for Voice + Data SIM Card and followed all their setting steps. They say it's a 4G service but you receive something more like a GPRS/Edge.
It's a scam and the Governnment should do something about this!

We're very sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
Weâve looked into your account and can confirm that the slow speeds youâre experiencing are due to the high-speed data allowance on your plan being fully used. Once this allowance is exceeded, speeds are reduced to approximately 200Kbps, which can affect performance.
This is a standard feature of the plan you selected, and we aim to make this clear during the purchase process. That said, we understand how disappointing this must feel, especially while travelling, and weâre sorry that the service hasnât met your expectations.
Your data allowance will reset on the 1st of the month, but if youâd prefer not to wait, you can upgrade to a plan with more high-speed data at help.mobal.com/support/changes/updown
Weâre committed to providing transparent service and support, and weâd be happy to discuss your options further. An agent has replied to your email regarding this matter, so if you would like to continue the conversation, please reply to that message.
I bought a SIM card along with a numberâŠ
I bought a SIM card along with a number on March 2025 , two months before arriving in Japan . Yes the customer service may be responsive but the rest sucks . The service , coverage and the pricing is absolutely horrible. I bought an eSIM as I wanted to have access to my US number . Somehow the coverage and the communication wasnât clear on how to have both on . So at times I had to turn off my US eSIM to get Mobil lousy coverage. Texts werenât going through and I am talking about locally . I then realized the price I was charged which is very high didnât cover calls or texts . I left Japan a month ago and de activated the phone a month before leaving, and I am being charged still . Basically I had the phone for two months and I have paid for this damn service since March . Basically 5 months. Never used the phone as I was so frustrated and gave up. I would never ever use Mobal again . Itâs not the best choice . I supplì have just used my US number which would have been much cheaper .

Thank you for your feedback, and weâre very sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced with your Mobal eSIM.
After reviewing your account, we can see that your eSIM was purchased in March and activated in May for two months of use. Regarding calls and texts, weâd like to clarify that incoming calls and texts are free, but outgoing calls and texts are chargeableâas stated on our product page. We sincerely apologize if this was not as clear as it should have been.
Additionally, as outlined in our Terms & Conditions, there can sometimes be delays in receiving call and text records from the network provider, which is why some charges may appear later than expected.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
The company did what it said it wouldâŠ
The company did what it said it would at the price that it said. No nasty surprises. It delivered the wifi box quickly and setup was easy. I always felt in control. Clean, simple, easy - no hard sell - it just works. It gave me notice by email of the deadline to change or cancel my contract (the 20th of the month). Recommended, and I will use it again.

Great Company who supports charities
Ordered a sim card for calls and data for Japan. Item was delivered promptly along with good instructions, my phone was all set to go as soon as I landed in Osaka. Which was lucky as needed it to contact the driver on arrival. Excellent communications, easy to use, and love the fact that Mobal give back to communities/charities etc. They aren't just in it for themselves which was one of the reasons I opted for mobal. Having now used them I am definitely using them for my next trip to Japan. Such excellent service/support/product was great never any issues with coverage and as a bonus they help people - what's not to love â€ïžðð»â€ïž

Mobal is Sugoi (amazing)
I've been a customer for almost two years now and i've never had a single issue using this company for my phone and data. Mobal is a great company.Their prices are very low and their service is amazing. I have a true japanese phone number which makes life much easier when trying to get an apartment or other things for long term stays in japan. Without them life would be a lot more stressful, even when I become a full Japanese citizen. I will most likely continue using their services because I see no reason to switch since it works so well.

Charges full cost even for just a few days, no early cancellation
Will charge you the full cost of a month of usage even if you only use it for the first couple of days of the new month. Over the last 10 months my connection has been below standard, especially for the cost of the sim.
I do not recommend unless you can manage without data from the first of the month until your departure, to avoid paying the full amount just for a couple days of usage. A ridiculous and very sneaky way of taking customers money. Customer service also takes days to respond, will not be using Mobal again.

With regards to our Voice+Data SIM/eSIM products and the ongoing plans we offer, we can confirm that the first plan fee is pro-rated (if the service is activated part way through a month) but after this fee, all plan fees are billed in full on the 1st of each month.

I purchased an eSIM for 31 days with 10GB of data. The activation and installation process on my Android phone was straightforward.

We're very sorry to hear about your experience and truly understand how frustrating this situation must have been.
Weâd like to clarify that in Japan, mobile phone numbers are routinely recycled across all networks â not just with Mobal â to meet the high demand for new numbers. Unfortunately, this industry-wide practice can sometimes result in a number being previously associated with services like LINE or Yahoo.
We understand how inconvenient this can be, and we always try to assist our customers as best as we can in these cases. We've sent you a more detailed message by email with a proposed resolution, and we hope you'll consider giving us the opportunity to make things right.

Poor speeds
We used the service for 3 months from Osaka to Tokyo. Installing the Esim is different to the regular sim and you need to ensure you download the right esim profile as there are a few options on their website
The main issue I have is that speeds are pretty poor. Alot of the times it can take 30 secs to 1 min for my Google map to process a location i want to go to or looking at reviews for a place I have to wait a while for the photos to appear
I will not be using their service again. The speed is slower than 3g for sure when I used it. I followed their instructions

Thank you for your feedback, and we're truly sorry to hear that your experience with our eSIM didnât meet your expectations.
We completely understand how frustrating slow data speeds can beâespecially when relying on essential apps like Google Maps. While speeds can vary due to several factors such as location or network congestion, we always aim to provide a reliable and smooth connection.
We noticed our team had reached out with some troubleshooting steps, and as we didnât receive a follow-up, we had hoped the connection had improved. We're sorry to hear that wasnât the case, and it does sound like this may have been a local coverage issue.

Phone Compatibility re Volte
Received Sim and installed it - had data but had problem with receiving voice calls. This was due to the age of my phone. There are notes on the website about this, but the issue could perhaps be made clearer, since SoftBank upgraded its system last year (before that I had no problem using the same phone to make and receive calls in Japan).
