We picked it up at Narita Airport because our trip was in Tokyo. If you don’t know how to install the SIM card, someone will help you. I think I’ll buy it again when I go back to Japan.

Booking Notes & FAQ
1. Can I call my friends or family back home with this SIM card?
Unfortunately, these Docomo SIM cards for Japan are only enabled for data use.
2. Will I be able to connect other devices with this SIM card just like a pocket Wifi device?
Sure, if the other gadgets are enabled for tethering or mobile hotspot, then you can get them connected the way a pocket WiFi does. However, doing this may drain your smartphone’s battery fast so make sure that you have a power bank.
3. Will I be able to use Facebook, Google Maps, Netflix, and the like?
Yes! 😊
4. To claim my Docomo Japan SIM card, do I need to print the voucher?
No, you can just show them the voucher that you’ll receive via email and the WAUG app. However, showing a printed voucher works just fine.
5. Is there any other thing I need to do at the airport pick-up counter?
Before you leave, do make sure that your SIM card is working and you’re connected to the internet!
