Not to brag...TRAVELLERSLove us

Installation was quick and straightforward, and we had instant internet as soon as we landed in Bali. No need to search for a local SIM card after a long flight, which was a huge plus.
The connectivity is great! Better pricing than my own provider. And the installation of the e-sim is very easy.
As soon as you land, you've got internet. It's also very easy to install. So next time we will take this e-sim again!
The customer support was excellent: they responded immediately via both WhatsApp and email, with no waiting time at all, and guided me step by step until everything was set up properly.

Once I landed at the airport in Bali I switched the eSIM on and had a connection straight away. That was a real relief, because previous years in Bali with a different eSIM sometimes caused stress.

We had it installed before we left and we had a connection straight away on arrival. We used to buy a new SIM card at the airport every time, with long queues, but now we could skip that and travel straight on to our hotel.
SjoerdTranslated from Dutch · Trustpilot
You install everything before you leave, so you are online the moment you arrive. The connection was stable in Bali and worked perfectly for Google Maps, WhatsApp and social media.

Very simple and easy to install and use. Was finished fast and very good coverage everywhere.

Frequently AskedQUESTIONS

We know, it sounds too good to be true. But if you have any questions we’re here.

Get support
How much does a Goodbars eSIM for Japan cost?

Three plans: 10GB for 30 days at €12.99, 20GB for 30 days at €18.99, 50GB for 30 days at €39.99, VAT included. Validity starts the moment you first connect in Japan, not on the day you buy.

Can I install my eSIM before I arrive in Japan?

Yes, and you should. Install it at home on Wi-Fi; the validity period only starts counting once your phone connects to a network in Japan.

Do I need a visa for Japan?

Not with an EU passport, for up to 90 days. There is no mandatory arrival form; Visit Japan Web is the government's free, optional pre-registration that turns immigration and customs into one QR code, and it is worth the ten minutes.

Which network does the Goodbars Japan eSIM use?

It uses NTT docomo, the country's largest mobile network by subscriptions. Our coverage page shows what NTT docomo and independent sources publish about its coverage, with a source for every figure.

Does it work outside Tokyo?

That is the point of it: one eSIM for the whole trip, Tokyo to Kyoto to Osaka and the train between. What exactly the plan covers is stated on the plan itself.

Why can't I connect to the internet?

Make sure the Goodbars eSIM is switched on, that data roaming is enabled for it, and that it is selected as your mobile data line. If it still does not connect, restart the phone and write to us; we answer fast.

Is the Goodbars eSIM data-only?

Yes, it is data-only and does not carry regular calls or SMS. Calls run over WhatsApp, FaceTime, Zoom or any other app, which is how most people call from Japan anyway.

Do I need a local ID?

No. Buy it online from anywhere. The SIM counters at Narita and Haneda ask for a passport for every card they sell; an eSIM installed at home never asks for it.

Can I use this together with my regular SIM?

Yes. Most phones support dual SIM: keep your physical SIM for calls and texts and use the Goodbars eSIM for mobile data, both at the same time.

Which devices work with Goodbars eSIM?

Most modern smartphones support eSIM, including iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, and Google Pixel 3 and newer. Check your device settings or manual to confirm eSIM support.

Can I combine Japan and Bali on one trip?

Yes. They are separate eSIMs: install each one at home while you still have Wi-Fi and switch it on when you land in its country. Nothing needs doing at a border.
