Slightly expensive than data plan
It’s great that I can make calls, but it costs a little more than a data-only plan. I had no trouble with the mobile network while I was in Japan.
The discount code on this website gave me 20% off.
I chose a long-term plan (over 90 days), and it was incredibly convenient to have a dedicated phone number included. On top of that, I was able to apply a 20% off coupon to my purchase, making the overall deal even better.
