just come back from Japan.
Review abit on Hello1010 since most of the review on shopee are just "shipping is fast" "packaging is good" etc

bought 2x Japan Go! 10GB 15 days.
Trip between 5th - 12th Nov 2023 (Osaka > Kyoto > Tokyo)
Roaming between Softbank & AU, overall at the city i visited got good coverage mostly 4G/4G+ (My phone no 5G)

CS by Hello1010 is quite fast as well
As 1 of the sim card run out of data, whatsapp their CS for troubleshoot and checking, replied within few min (during working hours)

Lucky u of the 3 sims I bought fro GoGo Roaming at Lzd only one had problem which was capped at 500mb instead of agreed 1gb per day. CS not helping either keeps claiming I had exceeded daily despite me providing start and end day usage.

Thanks for the info,

I concur as it provide a peace of mind,
I am looking at Thai Airway, and there is a layover of 9 hour at Bangkok Airport.
Here, will  the baggages be check thru or self check in again?  Read but it was not mentioned.
It is a different plane.

Thanks.

Have you tried searching direct with full fledged airline ie ANA? I recently booked with ANA KL-Osaka-Tokyo-KL for $2866 all in. Did compared with MAS which were about 27% higher

Hi All,

Is there other cheaper alternative JR travel pass other than the JR Rail Pass that covers Osaka to Fukuoka?
Am planning to fly to Osaka but would like to visit Fukuoka for a few days.
Is it cheaper to use JR travel pass or just take the Shinkansen?

Planning to stop by multiple location along the way between Osaka and Fukuoka (Kobe, Okayama, Hiroshima, Kitakyushu if possible).

The duration of my trip is between 10-14 days, and would be flying out from Osaka. Unfortunately flying out from different airport cost a lot more. sad.gif

I booked on ANA for $2586 nett, KL Narita Osaka and Tokyo KL for mid Oct vacation

Asking a noob question, meaning one don’t need a physical card to be added to wallet instead get a new suica card directly from wallet? Thanks

Hi guys, I’m checking out esim now for Tokyo and found a few brands, want to check if anyone here used them before and whether they’re worth the purchase in terms of speed and coverage?

Hello1010 - RM49.90 for 10GB / 10 days
Sakura/NTT docomo - RM71 for 10GB / 10 days

Both are on 4G only. I think that’s fine since 5G would consume data faster and thus probably deplete my usage faster.

Not planning to opt for unlimited as the price shoots up double terus, but not sure if hello1010 is trustable? (Price quite good)
*
My advise get at least 2gb per day min, my sim mostly on 4g speed ain’t an issue. Both mentioned is trustable
