Frequently Asked Questions
Our eSIMs are data-only and do not include a phone number. For calls and texts, we recommend using VoIP apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Skype, or Google Voice.
Japan only. Coverage is nationwide on the IIJmio network, including Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hokkaido and Okinawa.
Your eSIM connects to the IIJmio mobile network in Japan. It supports 5G where available and 4G LTE everywhere else.
Each plan has a set number of days, listed on the product page. eSIMs can't be extended or topped up, but you can buy a new plan anytime.
Yes. IIJmio coverage is nationwide, so the eSIM works in the resort towns as well as the cities. Expect 4G on the mountain and 5G in the larger towns.
Every plan has a full-speed allowance (5GB to 50GB). After that you keep unlimited data at 256 kbps until the plan ends, enough for maps and messaging.
No. There is no passport registration or eKYC step.
Dial *#06#. If you see a 32-digit EID number, your device supports eSIM.
(Note: MEID is not the same as EID.)
At sea, signals are usually only available via satellite networks, which our eSIMs do not support. Near ports, your eSIM will reconnect to local networks.
This eSIM is designed primarily for smartphones. While some tablets support eSIM, we cannot guarantee compatibility on all non-phone devices.
Our support team is available daily via live chat and email at hello@globalstarlink.com.au. We're happy to assist you with any questions.
It depends on your trip. A travel eSIM is set up before you leave, so you land already connected — no queuing at an airport kiosk, no local ID or passport registration where that is required, and no risk of losing your home SIM while you swap cards. A local prepaid SIM can still work out cheaper on a long stay, and it gives you a local phone number.
This plan starts at $7.90 AUD and covers Japan.
Buy before you travel. Your QR code is emailed to you right after purchase, so you can install the eSIM while you are still on home Wi-Fi and have it ready to connect the moment you land. Installing after you arrive needs an internet connection you may not have yet — which is the situation the eSIM is meant to solve.
Installing early does not start your plan: the validity period begins when the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination.
For data, usually. Roaming with an Australian carrier is normally charged as a fee for every day you are away, so the cost grows with the length of your trip. This plan is a single upfront cost from $7.90 AUD that covers the whole plan period in Japan.
