Roaming in Japan

[mhikihara]

I would like to use my PAYG phone in Japan next month for call and data roaming.

How can I start??

Are there anything I must do beforehahd?

See here for roaming expenses:

It would be cheaper to get a Japanese SIM card, assuming you have a phone that can use eSIM, have a look at TruPhone - it's data only, but that shouldn't be an issue

Or a local SIM options, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I70BYQbAfrQ

Hi @mhikihara 

EE PAYG phones are auto-enabled for roaming.

Your UK bundles, add-ons and allowances will not apply outside the EU, and whilst receiving texts is free, all other activity will be chargeable.

The roaming costs page gives you all the details here
