How we compare prices

We compare Graba SIM’s current published price with the linked provider’s public price for 3GB in Japan for 30 days, in the same currency. Savings are the competitor price minus the Graba SIM price; percentages are rounded down. Lower competitor prices are included when verified. This comparison expires automatically within seven days of verification, or is removed if our plan price changes.

Competitor names identify their own services. Graba SIM is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by these providers.

What this means
  • Your eSIM connects to local networks in Japan, but your data joins the internet in Hong Kong. Apps and websites see a connection from Hong Kong, so some may show that country’s language, prices or content.
  • Maps, GPS and taxi apps still know where you really are, because they use your phone’s location, not your internet location.
  • Some services, such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini, aren’t available from Hong Kong. If you need them, choose a plan whose internet location isn’t Hong Kong.
