I am travelling to Japan next month for 3 weeks. Can anyone recommend a Data SIM for use whilst I’m there? Thank you.

You would be better off with a Japanese sim. I bought one there because O2 was virtually unusable when I went.

Yes as long as your phone is unlocked. O2 haven't locked their phones for a couple of years so just try another UK network sim in the phone. If by any chance it is locked to O2 then follow this link to get it unlocked.

Another option for an unlocked phone is a World Sim https://www.worldsim.com/
This has the advantage of giving you a UK number so people at home can call you without extortionate charges.
Ive used one for years all over the World and always had good coverage and data speeds.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.

Would this have been useful for my grandson? I'm not talking about whilst on the cruise ship obviously., but when he lands in strange Caribbean islands?
