Work fine overall but instructions could be a bit more clear for beginners. After setup, no issue.
No need to find airport SIM or WiFi. Just turn on eSIM and go. Very convenient after long flight.

First time in Japan and first time using eSIM, was a bit unsure but actually very simple. Just scan QR, follow steps, done. If it doesn’t connect straight away, just wait until you arrive in Japan like they say.
Got the QR email within minutes after purchase, which was really quick. Installed before flight and it activated straight away once I landed in Tokyo. Data speed was very fast, even in busy Shibuya area. Used maps and train apps all day no issues.
I’m a bit of a tech dinosaur and accidentally deleted my activation email while waiting for my flight. I messaged Global Starlink on email and they re-sent the QR code through in under ten minutes. Once I landed in Tokyo, the eSIM worked flawlessly. That kind of customer service is rare these days!
Scanned the QR code at Sydney airport and it activated the second we touched down. Used it for Google Maps and Translate constantly with zero lag
Had a bit of a blue trying to activate it at Narita, but the support team on email sorted me out in minutes
Don't bother with the overpriced pocket WiFi rentals at the airport. This eSIM is cheaper and way more convenient. It connected to the local network immediately and the speeds were fast enough
Setup was a breeze on my Pixel—just scanned the code and I was sorted. Only giving 4 stars because I had to manually toggle 'Data Roaming' on to get it working, which I didn't realise at first.
Used this for a solo trip through Hakone and the Japanese Alps. I was worried about losing signal in the mountains, but it stayed strong the whole time

Impressive coverage even in the smaller rural towns. The support actually followed up to make sure I was connected properly, which you don't get from big providers. Fast, reliable, and cheap as chips
Very solid performance and easy setup. Only wish the data options were a bit more flexible, but still did the job well.
