I was away for three weeks, had no connection issues, and it was cheaper than the more well-known brands.

Trois raisons de ne surtout pas prendre de eSIM pour ton voyage au Japon. En numéro un, ça bloque TikTok et tes applications bancaires. Personnellement, ça m'est jamais arrivé, j'utilise celle de voilà eSIM et tout fonctionne normalement sans aucun souci. En numéro deux, c'est que c'est plus cher qu'une carte SIM physique. Celle que j'utilise fait partie des moins chères au Japon et elle est quasiment deux fois moins chère que les cartes physiques que tu peux trouver à l'aéroport ou même au 7-Eleven. Et en numéro trois, c'est que c'est compliqué à installer. Honnêtement, avant de partir, j'achète mon forfait voilà eSIM et je fais l'installation en deux minutes. Et le gros avantage, c'est que dès que j'arrive au Japon, je suis déjà connecté à Internet. Pour moi, c'est actuellement la solution la plus simple et efficace pour voyager au Japon sans prise de tête.
"With voilà, everything works in Japan: from TikTok to my banking apps. Setup takes two minutes, and I'm connected as soon as I land."
I have to admit, I had my doubts at first... The price of voilà eSIM was significantly lower than its competitors, so I expected complications or mediocre service. But in the end, my experience was quite the opposite! Before leaving for Thailand, I got a voilà eSIM and everything was incredibly simple. Installation took just a few seconds, no complicated steps, no need to look for a 7-Eleven or buy a card locally. Another thing that impressed me was the customer service. I asked several questions on WhatsApp, expecting to wait for hours... I got a response in a few minutes, very professional, from someone who was really friendly and already knew my file (not an AI or a robot!!! That's so rare these days!

Great app
I got an eSIM for Japan because it was the cheapest option—I ended up with good network coverage and all my apps worked perfectly. I highly recommend it.

Ce que j'aurais aimé savoir avant d'arriver à l'aéroport de Bali. La première chose qui est totalement obligatoire, c'est un visa. Même si tu restes un jour, le visa est valable 30 jours. Tu peux le faire directement en ligne sur ce site ou tu peux le faire en arrivant. Il vaut 30 euros. Ensuite, tu vas devoir faire ta déclaration de douane. Tu peux la faire en avance sur ce site 24 ou 48 heures à l'avance. Tu pourras aussi la faire à l'aéroport. Autre point important, ne change pas d'argent à l'aéroport. Les taux sont parmi les pires. Si tu as besoin de cash, attends d'être en ville et surtout vérifie que tu as une carte sans frais à l'international. L'option la moins chère pour rejoindre Bali, c'est de prendre Grab et Gojek. Ça te coûtera environ 10 euros pour rejoindre Canggu. Fais quand même attention au taxi en sortant de l'aéroport. À ce moment-là, tu n'auras plus accès au wifi de l'aéroport. Pour avoir internet sans te ruiner, le mieux c'est de prendre une eSIM sur voilà. Ce sont les eSIM avec le meilleur réseau à Bali. Je n'ai jamais eu de problème de connexion. Abonne-toi et on se voit bientôt à Bali.
"To get Internet in Bali without breaking the bank, the best option is to get an eSIM from voilà. They're the eSIMs with the best network there, I never had a single connection issue."
I am extremely satisfied with my experience with voilà. I came across their Instagram page when I was planning a vacation to Japan. So I decided to get their Japan Guide and their eSIM! And honestly, I was extremely satisfied. I was looking for an eSIM that was reliable and offered good value for money, and I was definitely not disappointed. I highly recommend it. Thank you again, I had a wonderful trip to Japan thanks to you!

Ideal and economical solution
Using the application for esim in Japan. The solution if you don't want to break the bank with other competitors, the prices are unbeatable! I spent a month in Japan with esim. While using it, there were no bugs and no apps crashed. I chose the 50GB option for extra security, which was more than enough despite intensive use and with almost no use of the hotel's Wi-Fi. Top-notch customer service and super responsive!

On va mettre fin au débat sur les eSIM au Japon. Avant de partir, j'ai énormément fait des recherches évidemment pour organiser le voyage. Il existe maintenant 20 milliards de eSIM, mais honnêtement, il faut vraiment faire attention parce que t'en as qui peuvent te bloquer tes applications bancaires, TikTok, etc. Donc c'est vraiment pas le bon plan. Une bonne connexion au Japon, c'est vraiment essentiel en fait, c'est obligatoire. T'en as besoin pour te déplacer, pour utiliser ta carte de transport, pour traduire les menus, pour tout traduire en fait. Donc t'es obligé d'avoir une bonne carte SIM qui te bloque rien. Et là, j'ai trouvé une application vraiment incroyable. C'était l'une des moins chères du marché par rapport à tout ce que j'ai comparé. C'est 14 euros pour 20 gigas. En plus de ça, aucune application bloquée. J'ai eu du réseau même dans le Shinkansen. C'était juste top. J'ai eu aucun souci du voyage et j'ai pu suivre ma consommation en temps réel sur leur application. C'est vraiment trop trop bien. L'application, ça s'appelle voilà. N'hésite pas à enregistrer cette vidéo si tu pars au Japon.
"I've compared quite a few eSIMs: with voilà, no blocked apps and signal everywhere, even on the Shinkansen. Zero issues throughout the whole trip."
I didn't know anything about voilà eSIM until a Japanese friend told me about it. He told me it was the most reliable solution he uses on a daily basis in Tokyo, so I trusted him for our vacation. My wife and I went to Japan for 3 weeks (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Okinawa) and we each took 50 GB. I have to say that the network is ultra-stable, fast, even in the Tokyo subway or in more remote areas like Mount Fuji. It's clearly the best network we've tested in Japan. I've used Holafly, Airalo and Ubigi before, and always had problems. These other brands block TikTok and banking apps for no reason. With voilà eSIM, none of that. All apps work as they do in France. voilà is clearly the cheapest Japan eSIM I've found for this network quality. What's more, you can recharge very easily from the app if you need to. Personally, I haven't needed to do this, but it's reassuring to know that it's possible in just a few clicks, and customer service is pretty responsive!

cheapest eSIM for New York
We went to New York with our girlfriends, and clearly we were looking for a cheap eSIM to avoid being ripped off. We always compare prices before buying anything. Comparing eSIMs for New York, I saw that voilà was about €15 cheaper than Airalo for a similar package. So we gave it a try... and frankly, no regrets. Super-simple activation, immediate connection on arrival. 5G worked perfectly everywhere: in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Google Maps, Uber, Instagram, TikTok, FaceTime... everything worked without a hitch. I had taken 20 GB for 10 days and that was more than enough, but I still recharged 5 GB directly in the app in 2 minutes. I recommend voilà because it's clearly the best eSIM in New York in terms of value for money, and the service is unbeatable.

Top-of-the-line eSIM at an unbeatable price
A top-notch interface that lets you quickly find a place to visit or a recommended restaurant. Excellent eSIM (tested and approved in Japan) at an unbeatable price, with very responsive customer service in case of issues (contact support on WhatsApp). I recommend it ✌🏻😉

Best eSIM for Thailand!
I was away for three weeks, had no connection issues, and it was cheaper than the more well-known brands. I will get another eSIM from them for the rest of my road trip in Malaysia and China.
An eSIM is a digital SIM card built directly into your device (smartphone, smartwatch, or tablet), eliminating the need to insert a physical plastic card. When traveling, it allows you to purchase a data plan before departure and avoid roaming charges.
ESIM replaces the physical SIM card with a digital profile installed directly on your device. You scan a QR code, the profile is installed, and that's it. There's no risk of losing your SIM card, and no operator stores to find on site.
Internet connection on landing
Your voilà eSIM activates automatically when you arrive at your destination, with no Wi-Fi or setup needed. Connection sharing is included on every plan: connect your computer or share your mobile data with your loved ones at no extra cost. TikTok, banking apps, Google Maps: everything works, nothing is blocked.
Your main line remains active
Your usual phone number keeps working for your calls and messages. Your voilà eSIM handles your mobile data abroad at the same time. One phone, two profiles active at once, or several eSIMs if your trip covers several countries.
Any questions? We'll answer them.
