Embracing the expat life in Japan is an exciting journey but comes with unique challenges. One thing many foreigners in Japan face is getting a local phone number.
Most expats want a SIM card to surf the internet and chat with friends and family as soon as possible. But you also can’t access essential services such as opening a bank account or applying for an apartment without a local phone number. Likewise, you need a number for everyday conveniences, like ordering food and online shopping.
Mobal provide(s) contract-free SIM cards and essential English support…
Unfortunately, getting a phone number in Japan can be difficult for foreigners due to residency requirements, language barriers and visa restrictions. Many providers require a registered residential address and a visa with at least two years of permission to stay in Japan.
Enter Mobal’s Japan Unlimited SIM card to the rescue. Not only does Mobal provide contract-free SIM cards and essential English support, but they also contribute to a meaningful charitable cause—making your mobile choice in Japan all the more impactful.
