Tips for Using Ubigi in Japan
Install before you fly
Download the Ubigi eSIM profile while you are on WiFi at home. This ensures everything is ready when you land in Japan.
Verify network selection
After activation, check that your phone is connected to SoftBank. Go to Settings > Cellular > Network Selection and verify the network name.
Enable data roaming
Some phones require "Data Roaming" to be enabled for eSIM plans to work abroad. This is safe with an eSIM since you are using a prepaid plan, not your home carrier's roaming.
Contact support if needed
Ubigi offers customer support via their app, email, and live chat. If your eSIM is not connecting in Japan, reach out before troubleshooting on your own.
