FAQ

What is a SIM card?

A SIM card is a small, transferrable chip that carries information within cellphones.

You need a SIM card in order to be able to use your cellphone outside. Depending on the type of cellphone, you will need a different size of SIM card.

There are three types: Standard, Micro, and Nano. At Sakura Mobile, we carry all three sizes, making it easy to get the right SIM card for your phone.

Why choose Sakura Mobile？

We provide affordable and simple plans and English customer support to make sure our customers have everything they need to enjoy their time in Japan.

Why is Sakura Mobile affordable?

Sakura Mobile lowers costs compared to competitors.

We are an MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator), meaning that we borrow lines from docomo.

As such, we do not have to pay costs for network maintenance, new technological developments, etc., meaning that we can provide cheaper plans to customers.

Are there any demerits to using Sakura Mobile?

Sakura Mobile uses only a part of docomo’s network, meaning that when too many people are using the same network at the same time, internet speeds will become slow.

There are times of the day where the network is especially crowded, such as lunchtime (12 pm to 1 pm).

Therefore, we recommend the three major carriers for those who want to enjoy continuous high-quality videos and playing games that use large amounts of data for long periods of time.

There is no difference in the quality of phone calls between Sakura Mobile and other major phone companies.

Is my iPhone compatible with Sakura Mobile’s SIM cards?

Yes, you will be able to use your iPhone, as long as it is unlocked.

However, please keep in mind that there are also cases in which your iOS version may be out of date, so please make sure your iPhone is usable beforehand.→
