FAQ

How is a voice SIM different from a data SIM?

A voice SIM has a Japanese phone number and can make calls, so identity verification is required. A data SIM is internet-only and needs no documents.

How are call charges calculated?

The monthly fee includes full-volume data. Call charges are billed separately at the carrier's standard rates, based on how long you talk.

Can I keep my existing phone number?

HD Telecom does not currently support number portability (MNP) from other carriers. Voice SIM plans are issued with a new phone number.

How long until I receive the SIM?

Once your application is approved and payment confirmed, HD Telecom ships the SIM to the address on your residence card.
