This is terrible news. I wanted to get a sim card for Japan, but you can only get a pocket wifi device, which isn't so bad, but not as straightforward as swapping your sim out for a local sim as i do when in the states or malaysia.
- hamishforbes 10y agoThat's not true. You just can't get a sim card with voice/SMS capability. Foreigners can get data only SIMs no problem, most airports will sell them (often out of a vending machine) e.g. https://t.iijmio.jp/en/ https://t.iijmio.jp/en/
- jessriedel 10y agoGiven VOIP, what is the rationale of making this distinction?
- tangent128 10y agoSo voice SIMs can't be used as throwaway cell numbers, I'd guess.
