Japan Prepaid SIM (1GB Data for up to 15 days)
Network: Docomo Xi network, Connectivity: 2100 MHz / 800 MHz (W-CDMA / HSDPA / HSUPA), Voice Call / SMS: Not Supported, Data Top Up: Supported, Compatibility: Compatible with unlocked devices, APN Settings: Required, After Use: Disposable
But in the end this card fit my trip time perfectly and was more than enough data for Google Maps, occasional FB, and making some calls using LINE
This card worked well for me, and I had reliable data the entire time I was in Japan
Network was very reliable and fast and renewing/buying more data was easy.
Or you can tether another phone's cell service to get their data while you top off
Perfect for my short trip and provided enough data for simple tasks such as Google Maps and communication via LINE.

And like I said, once properly setup, the SIM card works very well in Japan at a very reasonable cost
The key to the successful setup was to download the app and register the SIM before arrival to Japan

The app also made applying the proper NTT APN an amazingly painless process
I ended up using just under 3 gigs of data during my trip but the top up process was very easy and about $14 per gig at the current exchange rate
The process with this card was much easier as I could use their app (downloaded days before my trip) to activate the changes after we landed while still offline

Overall, this is an outstanding product and I would highly recommend it for short-term visitors to Japan.
Fantastic product, works so well that once I insert it in my phone, it worked
Product is defective

I just hope they would improve their service as they have a potentially great product.

I prefer other SIM cards which just throttle you down to a slower 4G speed.
1GB for 15days is not enough if you are a heavy data user.
I was all prepped to reload if needed, but unlimited or 5GB limit for 15days would have been better for me.
The initial price for the SIM card, SIM ejection tool, and 1 GB of data is reasonable
I thought I would need more, but in the end, 1GB of data was sufficient for my 10 day trip there

This SIM card worked perfectly with excellent comm service.
Too bad I
I just hope they would improve their service as they have a potentially great product.
The technical service provided by eConnect Japan was excellent as I ido get quick troubleshooting response from them via
Download the app before you leave, swap cards before you arrive and you're off... great, fast data service!

In my opinion, the price for top-ups are also reasonable
However, since I was unable to use it, I returned it and was promptly refunded the purchase price.
You can purchase additional bandwidth as necessary for a reasonable price.
Too bad I
And the price was very competitive with buying in Japan or elsewhere

The app was easy to use and it did the rest of the set up on our iPhones with only a couple prompts
App: I was afraid that the app that is recommended to use with this SIM card would be buggy, but I have found that it works great
Their special app is very useful as it shows your data consumption and has a built-in option to top up, among others
The associated app makes it easy to activate the card before you leave
I would recommend this card and use an app like Facebook or Whatsapp to make phone calls or text using this data SIM

After getting through the setup, the usage of the SIM was very smooth; speeds were around 3G, which is more than enough for Google Maps and loading standard websites, and coverage via Docomo was great, even outside Tokyo
I prefer other SIM cards which just throttle you down to a slower 4G speed.
The coverage was excellent in all of the many major cities and even underground.
Tokyo is great and all, but I actually spend more time in Japan's smaller towns/cities and rural areas and I have found that NTT has great LTE coverage even in lesser populated areas as well

This is an easier solution than what we experienced in the past purchasing a SIM from a BIC Camera store in Tokyo
Too bad I
This solution, used with my iPhone SE, worked much better
I rented wifi hotspot device for my rest of the family to watch video etc, but for light to moderate internet use while traveling in Japan, using this SIM was one of the most economical solution for me.

Works exactly as advertised, no issues setting it up and using it
Works mostly as advertised, but beware with Android, which had a known issue with data only SIM cards
The SIM card worked as advertised while we were in Japan for a week

The few bad reviews appear to be from someone who just dropped in the SIM card (like some countries) and did not use the app which makes setup and registration trivial.
However, the SIM did not work

LTE speeds were fast and the service worked everywhere except for some very remote villages
I prefer other SIM cards which just throttle you down to a slower 4G speed.
Used for a week long vacation in Tokyo on my iPhone X. Speed was good and coverage was always there

I'd never switched out a SIM card before, but the instructions were clear enough.
It was very easy to install and activate; the instructions were clear and concise.
My only gripe was that there should have been a clearer instruction about registering the card.
Too bad I
