Do Google and WhatsApp work on this eSIM?
In Japan and Korea, yes. In China, no: Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube are blocked. Set up WeChat before you fly.
Does Google Maps work in Korea?
Only in part: it shows places and public transport but not walking or driving directions. Use Naver Map or KakaoMap instead.
Will I have signal on the Busan to Fukuoka ferry?
Near each coast, yes. In the middle of the strait it drops for a while.
Does it work in Hong Kong or Taiwan?
No. The Asia eSIM covers China, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and 7 more countries.
When does my China, Japan & Korea plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in China, Japan or Korea. Install it on Wi-Fi a day or two before you fly: the days don't start counting until you land.
Can I use the China, Japan & Korea eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Every China, Japan & Korea plan can share its data with a laptop, a tablet or a travel partner's phone. Anything you share comes off the same plan.
Does the China, Japan & Korea eSIM include calls and texts?
No, it's data only, with no local number. Call and text over WhatsApp, iMessage or FaceTime. In mainland China WhatsApp is blocked, so use WeChat. Your Australian number stays on your phone, so texts like bank codes still arrive.
