## Good to know

### Install before you fly

Install it at home on Wi-Fi. It stays off until you switch it on for data at your destination.

### Keep your own SIM

Your usual SIM stays in for calls and texts. Set the Veela eSIM as your line for mobile data.

### Help when you're there

The assistant answers in your language at any hour, and a person picks up anything it can't fix.

## Tips for Japan

- Trains and Google Maps all day use roughly 0.5 to 1 GB a day. For 7 to 10 days, 10 GB is comfortable; if you video-call home every evening, pick 20 GB or unlimited.
- A pocket Wi-Fi has to be charged, carried and returned at the airport, and your group has to stay together to share it. An eSIM sits in each phone.
- Download offline maps of the areas you're staying in: deep underground stations can lose signal for a few minutes.

## Japan eSIM questions

**Does it work in Hokkaido and Okinawa?**

Yes, the plan covers all of Japan. In remote mountain areas speeds can be lower than in cities.
**My iPhone was bought from a Japanese carrier. Will it work?**

Only if it's unlocked. A carrier-locked phone accepts only that carrier's SIMs and eSIMs. Check in Settings › General › About › Carrier Lock before you buy.
**When does the plan start?**

When the eSIM first connects to a network in Japan. Installing it at home doesn't start the clock.
**Is my phone compatible?**

Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number and your phone is unlocked, it works. See the [compatibility checker](https://veela.io/compatibility/) for common models.
**Can I top up?**

Yes. From your account, add data to the same eSIM without reinstalling it.
