Questions and answers

How much does Three charge for data in Japan?

The table shows the cheapest official Three option for about 5 GB in a week, every Three data option for Japan, and the source with the date we checked it.

Is Japan included in Three plans?

Not in the standard plans of the Three price list we checked. In Japan you pay a pass, a daily charge or a price per MB.

Can I keep my Three number in Japan?

Yes. In Japan, keep the Three SIM for calls and texts and use the travel eSIM for data. Turn off data roaming on the Three line so it does not use data.

Where can I see all Three roaming charges?

On the Three roaming charges page, with every destination in the Three price list.
