How to purchase Holafly’s Japan eSIM
After carefully reviewing the product’s features and restrictions—such as phone compatibility— purchase your Holafly eSIM from their official website. Select your desired plan based on your trip’s duration, choose the quantity, and then add to cart.
You will then be redirected to a secure payment page, where you can choose express checkout (with Apple Pay, PayPal, or Google Pay) or manually fill in the necessary transaction details (i.e. email, billing address, phone number, and card information).
How to set up your eSIM
Once you make your purchase, Holafly will email you a receipt and instructions on how to install and activate your eSIM.
Please note that your eSIM plan will immediately start once you activate it and turn on data roaming. So to avoid starting your plan too early, Holafly recommends installing the eSIM just hours before your trip and then activating it once you arrive at your destination.
eSIM set-up instructions differ for iPhone and Android devices. So below, we will summarize the basics to give you an overview of the process. For detailed instructions, please refer to the Holafly links listed under “Helpful guides and links.”
First, installation:
- You will receive an email from Holafly with a QR code and an Activation code (one for iPhone and one for Android)
