You land, you open the map, the taxi app, the payment QR at the till. On many "unlimited" plans that works until mid-afternoon, then the line drops to 1 Mbps for the rest of the day. The difference between eSIMs is rarely the gigabytes. It is the network you land on and what happens to your speed after a few GB.

One reader, one day: 20 October 2026, each provider's own product page, the 7-day unlimited plan where one exists. "Not named" means the page does not say which network you get. Japan has its own deeper comparison: Japan eSIMs compared on network, speed and support.
Total data usually is. Speed is the catch: on 20 October 2026 Airalo slowed unlimited plans to 1 Mbps after 3 to 5GB a day, Saily after 5GB, Nomad after 2GB, and Holafly did not publish its threshold.
For messages and maps, yes. For video calls, posting video, a ride-hailing app on a busy street or a laptop hotspot it feels slow, and that is usually when you need data most.
Flat-speed plans. ESIM KIMONO unlimited runs at a flat 10 Mbps with no daily cap in Japan, Thailand and Europe.
Because a named, licensed carrier is what you can check before paying. If a page does not say which network you land on, you find out at the airport.
No. We do not compete on price. Plans are priced for a carrier-grade network and a human who answers when something goes wrong. Today's price is on every plan page.
