April 11,2019

The service is made available through the eSIM platform operated by GigSky (Palo Alto, U.S., CEO: Ravi Rishy-Maharaj). Since the service is purchased through a special app as a plan with a preset time period and data volume, it is easy to use without worry.
KDDI and OKINAWA CELLULAR provide the service for a World Data Flat that offers overseas data transmission for an affordable one-time fee of 980 per 24 hours of access. The offer is made in response to the needs expressed by customers who want to economically use the same iPhone overseas that they always use in Japan.
Now customers can access data service through their own iPhones without having to rent a Wi-Fi router. The service brings convenience and availability of service not just to holiday travel, but also to long-term stays like study abroad.

(4) Service launch date April 17, 2019
(5) How to use [
