iPhone XS/XR users in Japan have been wondering how long it would be before they had the opportunity to finally use the eSIM feature from a Japanese carrier. KDDI announced an eSIM service for iPhone XS/XR today for travelers going overseas. The service provider is GigSKY, one of the Apple SIM service providers in Japan, and while it is cheaper than what I used for my Docomo iPhone roaming recently, it’s still not that cheap: 30 day/5GB/5,800 JPY and 30 day/8GB/8,900 JPY. The service area covers America, Canada, Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, and launches April 17. Details are on the KDDI au site.
Hopefully this is just the start of more eSIM service plans from other Japanese carriers with better pricing.
