Why an eSIM is Your New iPhone’s Best Travel Companion for Japan
Modern iPhones are designed for global travel, thanks to their built-in eSIM and dual SIM capabilities. This technology is a game-changer, especially for international trips. Instead of physically swapping your home SIM card (and risking losing it), an eSIM is a digital SIM that you can download and install directly onto your device.
Here’s why it’s the perfect match for your new iPhone in Japan:
- Dual SIM Convenience: Keep your primary phone number active for receiving calls and important texts (like bank authentications), while using your Yoho Mobile eSIM for high-speed, affordable data. It’s the best of both worlds.
- Instant Delivery: Purchase your Japan data plan from anywhere and receive it instantly via email. No more waiting in long queues at the airport SIM card kiosk after a long flight.
- Cost-Effective: Avoid the exorbitant fees charged by home carriers for international roaming. With a local eSIM, you pay local rates, saving you a significant amount of money.
- Flexibility: Yoho Mobile offers a variety of flexible data plans for Japan. Whether you’re a light user checking maps or a heavy user streaming videos, you can choose a plan that fits your exact needs.
Step-by-Step: Activating Your Yoho Mobile Japan eSIM on a New iPhone
Getting your new iPhone ready for Japan is incredibly straightforward with Yoho Mobile. One of the best parts about being an iOS user is the streamlined installation process.
Important Note: With Yoho Mobile, iOS users do not need to scan a QR code! The setup is integrated directly into your iPhone’s system for maximum ease.
Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Choose Your Perfect Japan Plan
First, head over to the Yoho Mobile website and select the ideal Japan travel eSIM plan for your trip duration and data needs. Complete the purchase, and you’ll receive a confirmation email almost immediately.
Step 2: Check Your Device is Ready
Ensure your new iPhone is carrier-unlocked. Most iPhones purchased directly from Apple are unlocked. If you’re unsure, contact your home carrier to confirm. You can also check our constantly updated eSIM compatible device list.
Step 3: Tap to Install
Open the confirmation email from Yoho Mobile on your iPhone. Simply tap the “Install” button. This will automatically open your iPhone’s settings and guide you through the cellular plan installation. Just follow the on-screen prompts—it takes less than a minute!
Step 4: Label Your eSIM
Once installed, your iPhone will prompt you to label your cellular plans. We recommend labeling your new eSIM as ‘Yoho Japan’ or ‘Travel’ to easily distinguish it from your primary SIM. This makes managing your connections simple.
Step 5: Activate Upon Arrival
Your plan’s validity period only begins when your eSIM connects to a supported network in Japan. So, you can safely install it at home before you fly. When you land, just turn on your eSIM line and enable ‘Data Roaming’ for it in your iPhone’s settings, and you’ll be online instantly.
Unlocking the Power of Dual SIM on Your iPhone in Japan
Now that your Yoho Mobile eSIM is installed, you can customize your settings to get the most out of your dual SIM iPhone. This is how you use your eSIM for data while keeping your home number active.
In your iPhone’s Settings > Cellular:
- Set Your Default Voice Line: Choose your primary (home) line so you can still receive calls on your regular number.
- Set Cellular Data to Your Yoho eSIM: This is the most important step! By selecting your ‘Yoho Japan’ eSIM for cellular data, all your apps, maps, and browsing will use the affordable data plan you purchased, preventing any roaming charges from your home carrier.
Your apps like iMessage and WhatsApp will continue to work seamlessly with your original phone number, using the data from your Yoho eSIM. And what if your data runs out while you’re exploring? With Yoho Care, you’re never truly offline. We provide a backup connection to keep you on the map, so you can manually top up your data without stress.
