Frequently asked questions

Does J:COM Mobile accept applicants with a residence card and no Japanese credit history?

Yes — J:COM Mobile accepts residence-card holders (per official pages). A residence card is accepted as ID. That's a separate question from credit screening for the line contract itself: screening terms exist; see official page.

Can I pay J:COM Mobile without a Japanese credit card?

Not stated clearly either way on the official pages we checked.

Is eSIM available from J:COM Mobile?

Yes, at least one J:COM Mobile plan supports eSIM (see the table below for which).
