In the communication package you get two products: the Japan Travel SIM and the Brastel Card.
With the SIM card you get the data service to use your smartphone or tablet, and the Brastel Card allows you to place calls by using the My 050 app.
As an option you can also get a phone number in Japan allowing you to receive incoming calls, and you may even continue using it after returning to your home country, with other SIM cards or Wi-Fi.
In addition, you can add extra data on the Japan Travel SIM card with credits from the Brastel Card in case you run out of the initial 6GB or 15GB of data.

The SIM will initially expire 30 days from the usage start date. Each data recharge will extend the SIM's validity until the end of the third month after the recharge. Upon the first recharge, the initial data provided will be extended to the end of the second month after the start of use. Additionally, any remaining data from your previous top-up (excluding the initial SIM card data) will be extended upon a subsequent recharge, remaining valid until the end of the fifth month after adding this new data. The SIM becomes invalid if no additional recharge is made before the final expiration date. Click here to see an example.

SIM validity extension example

The example above illustrates how the validity of the SIM is extended when the SIM is recharged. For the sake of this example, we will assume no data is consumed.

  • A 6 GB SIM starts being used from January 1. The 6 GB will at first expire on January 30.
  • A recharge of 2 GB is made on January 20. The added 2 GB will expire on April 30. The expiration date for the initially granted 6 GB is extended to March 31.
  • If a recharge of 5 GB is made on April 10, the added 5 GB will expire on July 31. The expiration date of the 2 GB from the first recharge will be pushed back only until June 30 (the fifth month after January, the month when they were added to the SIM).
  • If no further recharges are made until July 31, the SIM becomes invalid after this date.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How can I check the remaining data of my SIM card?
    The remaining data can be checked by accessing https://tr.iijmio.jp/login/ or right after recharging the SIM card via My Account.
  2. I’m running out of data, what should I do?
    You can add extra data using the Brastel Card (enclosed in the package).
    Please see the Recharge the SIM card section above.
  3. Why can’t I recharge the SIM card?
    Please check if you have enough credit on the Brastel Card for the additional data plan you wish to add.
    Also, make sure the SIM card's PASSCODE1 and PASSCODE2 have been entered correctly.
    If both cases above are correct, please access the IIJ Support website (https://tr.iijmio.jp/login/) and check if the SIM card has not expired.
  4. I’ve recharged the SIM card but it’s not reflecting on the balance. What should I do?
    In most cases, the process takes less than five minutes. After some time, please check the balance by accessing https://tr.iijmio.jp/login/. If the additional data is still not reflected, please contact Brastel Customer Service.
  5. Is it possible to extend the validity period?
    Yes. Every data recharge will extend the validity of the SIM until the end of the third month after the recharge was made.

Rates for domestic calls (to or within Japan) placed with the 050 button already include consumption tax (except where noted).
The apps cannot be used with Wi-Fi routers or over networks that restrict the usage of VoIP applications.
Slow internet connection may affect the quality of the calls.
Some devices may not support the apps. Please check the compatibility and requirements at the developer's website.

The apps' icons and images shown on this page are for reference purposes only, may appear different on your device, and may be changed by the developer without notice.
SIM card recharges are processed instantly; however, some recharges may take up to 24 hours to be processed depending on the network conditions between Brastel and the SIM card company. If the SIM card is not recharged within 24 hours, please contact Brastel for verification.
