1. The Shift in Smartphone Usage in Japan with the Rising Adoption of eSIMs
With the increasing use of eSIMs, many travelers to Japan, especially those with iPhones bought in the U.S. and other countries that no longer have SIM trays and are exclusively eSIM-operated, find themselves needing to purchase an eSIM upon arrival. This is also the case for eSIMs bought overseas that are incompatible in Japan.
eSIMs are incredibly convenient for switching to an international data plan while traveling, as they allow the use of a different line without the hassle of swapping SIM cards – just scan the issued QR code. Additionally, eSIMs enable the use of multiple lines (dual SIM) on a single phone, alongside your current SIM line.
For more detailed information about eSIM, please refer to the following article.
2. What is GTN eSIM?
