First time to try e-SIM with Unlimited Data during my trip to Japan and it is the best travel hack.
I used to bring pocket wifi or buy local SIM cards whenever I travel for vacation or workcation. During the recent trip to Japan, I chanced upon the e-SIM Unlimited Data offer via Klook and it saved my travel.

How to Activate e-SIM Unlimited Data (Japan)
- Buy voucher via Klook –>> eSIM Data for Japan
- You can select the duration and data plan according to your travel itinerary.
- Wait for the email notification that contains the QR code.
- Go to your iPhone’s Setting>Cellular>Add e-SIM
- Scan the new e-SIM QR Code.

Once you arrive in Japan (or your destination country), TURN OFF your primary e-SIM (Globe) to make sure you won’t be charged Roaming and TURN ON the Travel e-SIM.

When I arrived in Japan, I turned it on as soon as we landed and I got instantly connected.
Why I love it:
- Instant confirmation! I booked the day before my flight and received the QR code the same night.
- It is much more convenient to use compared to pocket wifi – I don’t need to worry about charging another gadget and carrying it around. My minimalist heart is so happy! Strolling around is a lot lighter and I was able to save power bank juice for my phone.
- Saves me time and energy. No need to look for the pick-up kiosks. After we got our luggage and went through customs check, we were able to navigate Google Maps from the airport to the hotel.
- I don’t need to worry about sending the pocket wifi back to the airport (en route back to Manila).
- Data connectivity is strong and stable. I can watch videos, upload clips/Instagram Reels and even share data connection with my friend.
