Back then when I was looking for a parttime job and an apartment, every shop manager and landlord that I contacted asked me for my phone number, which I didn't have. Then when I went to mobile shops to register for a phone number, they all asked me for either a credit card or a Japanese bank account, which unfortunately I didn't have either. After so many falied attempts, my friend told me about JP Smart DATA and I was so thrilled to know that I do not need a credit card to apply! The SIM card arrived only one day after I had finished the online application, which I believe could not be any faster. I can use JP Smart DATA with the old phone I brought to Vietnam from Vietnam and that saved me a lot of money. I am now using the 3GB SIM plan along with using WiFi at home so it's still possible for me to carry on until the end of the month without exceeding the data plan. Even if the data usage exceeds the monthly plan, there should be no worries because I can always recharge my data! I think I was luckly to know about JP Smart DATA in my second week in Japan.

Period of stay in Japan: 3 months

I used to use the the service from a major mobile provider in Japan whose contract extended for 2 years. After two years when the contract was over and I was able to move to another provider without having to pay the contract cancellation fee, I found JP Smart DATA and decided to try the new service. The monthly charge for JP Smart DATA is about half of that of the old service so I can save quite a bit of money to spend on my hobby - buying manga books. The data speed is great and coverage area is all over Japan. I am now also a member of the「INTRODUCE FRIEND PROGRAM」and have so far introduced JP Smart DATA successfully to three of my friends. I received 3000 YEN Amazon Gift Card by introducing JP Smart DATA to my 3 friends and also I can make free phone calls to them. The referer and the referee who participate in the 「INTRODUCE FRIEND PROGRAM」will both receive a 1000 YEN Amazon Gift Card. So I think from now on I will be more actively introducing JP Smart DATA to my other friends!

Period of stay in Japan: 2 years

I actually had to ask so many mobile shops in trying to secure a SIM contract. However, as my period of stay was too short and the credit card I got from a bank back home could not be used in Japan, they all turned me down. But then when I went online and did some searching, I eventually found JP Smart DATA! I did not have to present my credit card and period of stay at the time of the application. A photo of my passport was all that needed to complete the whole application procedure for JP Smart DATA I felt so lucky that after so much frustration with mobile shops in Japan, I could eventually find a service that solved all of my problems. I will definitely recommend JP Smart DATA to my friends!
