What JP SMART Customers Say

What JP SMART Customers Say

It's very easy to set up, and it's way cheaper than other options. The internet is fast and it's convenient.
Staples-san, USA USA flag
It's been 6 years I'm using JP SMART SIM and its easy to use all my family using jp smart sim.
Conde-san, Philippines Philippines flag
Registration and administration are very simple and the price of the package is affordable and quality.
Rezki-san, Indonesia Indonesia flag
Everything that was promissed to me was done correctly. Also, I have been to some different parts of Japan (Tokyo, Ibaraki, Fukuoka...) and everywhere the service was on a good level.
Trigo-san, Brazil Brazil flag
I've been using more than 1 year and have already referred 10 friends.
Ngu-san, Myanmar Myanmar flag
I think JP SMART SIM provides consistent service. I've been using JP SMART SIM's services for about 5 years now, and I've never had any issues. The call and data plans are very affordable, and there's lots of special promotions! It's also very easy to sign up for your own SIM, so I would always recommend it to friends who are new to Japan (and are looking for a SIM they can use as soon as possible).
Bautista-san, Philippines Philippines flag
I think it's really amazing. I can access the internet no matter where I go. At First I had a problem with the amount since 3GB and 6GB were not enough for me but with the 20GB now available, it's been wonderful.
