"GLOBAL WiFi®" to Launch New Overseas Telecommunications Service,
"World eSIM," on September 21
Vision, Inc. (headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, President & CEO: Kenichi Sano, hereafter "Vision"), the provider of "GLOBAL WiFi®" service ( https://townwifi.com/), launched "World eSIM," an eSIM service that can be used in over 120 countries around the world, on September 21, 2021.
"World eSIM" is an eSIM-based telecommunications service provided by "GLOBAL WiFi®," the No.1 overseas Wi-Fi rental service provider, that utilizes its existing know-how and network.
You can choose from a variety of pricing plans, including daily plans according to your usage, as well as excursion plans that allow you to use the service in multiple countries.
Setup is done online with your smartphone, so there is no need to pick up or return anything at the airport like with Wi-Fi rentals.
Furthermore, there is no need to physically swap out your Japanese SIM card when setting up your foreign SIM card.
We hope that "World eSIM," along with "GLOBAL WiFi®," will be useful to you during your future travels abroad.
Vision will continue to make efforts to improve service quality, network quality, and expand our coverage area, providing easy to use mobile Internet access around the world to support tourism and business, both during and after COVID-19.
