In addition to this SIM plan with domestic voice call, there are various plans!
There is also a prepaid type that can be used on the same day, which will be explained in detail later in "A prepaid SIM card is available", so please continue reading after this.
SIM cards specialized for overseas use, which can be said to be unique to HIS, a travel agency, are also provided.
The overseas SIM card, which is provided with the service under the name of "strange SIM", is a convenient SIM card that you can purchase once and use it as many times as you need.
Plan name | Data capacity | price |
---|---|---|
Regional plan | Up to 200MB a day | 500 yen |
World tour plan | Up to 6GB for 15 days | 5,500 yen |
Base price | 2,178 yen |
* All displays include tax
The SIM card used to use this plan can be selected from the stick-on type "strange SIM" and the normal SIM card type "strange SIM plastic".
Since this is the first service in Japan that uses technology, many people may not be familiar with it.
It can be used in Japan as usual with the "strange SIM" attached, so it will come in handy for people who often go abroad!
For overseas use, "HIS Mobile Wi-Fi" can be used in addition to the strange SIM.
For a detailed explanation of "HIS Mobile Wi-Fi", see "We also offer a Wi-Fi router rental service," which will be described later, so please check it out as well.
As a result of searching on Twitter with the keyword "HIS Mobile Weird SIM", we found the following reviews.
The "sub SIM" used in the "strange SIM" is Japan's first technology, so it seems that many people were surprised to see it for the first time.
It is convenient because you can communicate overseas just by pasting it, and you can also communicate domestically with it pasted.
HIS Mobile has a "prepaid SIM for data communication".
The prepaid method is a method of purchasing and using a SIM card with a fixed available data capacity and expiration date in advance.
You don't have to make a long-term contract, so feel free to apply!
kinds | For data communication only | With voice call | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Available period | 8 days | 16 days | 31 days | 31 days |
Selling price | From 2,718 yen to 2,728 yen | From 3,598 yen to 3,608 yen | 4,268 yen-4,278 yen | 14,800 yen |

Tethering | 〇 | 〇 | ||
the term of validity | Until the end of the month following the month of shipment | 31 days from the date of shipment |
* All displays include tax
If it is a prepaid type, it can be used on the same day, so it is useful when you suddenly need an internet environment.
You can also choose a communication plan, so if you know the number of days you need for a business trip, you can use it without waste by choosing the one that suits your purpose.
The prepaid method is recommended for people like the above, but please note that once purchased, it cannot be returned or refunded.
By purchasing a SIM and a smartphone as a set, you can also purchase the smartphone itself at a great price.
* Some are some of the terminals that can be purchased.
If you purchase a smartphone as a set with HIS Mobile, you can purchase it at a lower price than usual.
However, since the terminal is a used product, you need to be careful!
The points to note about the terminals that can be purchased are explained in detail in "All terminals on sale are second-hand products."
As a result of searching on Twitter with the keyword "HIS Mobile Used", we found the following reviews.
When you hear that it is a second-hand item, few people may have a very good image.
It's cheaper than the list price, so you may be worried, but some users are more than happy with the beauty products!
You can rent a mobile WiFi that is convenient for remote work.
If you have mobile WiFi, you can freely use the Internet at home or on the go.
Plan name | Light plan | Large capacity plan | |
---|---|---|---|
Data capacity | 20GB / month | 50GB / month | |
Monthly charge by contract period | 6 months | 2,680 yen | 3,980 yen |
1 year | 2,580 yen | 3,480 yen | |
2 years | 2,480 yen | 2,990 yen |
* All displays include tax
If you apply from the official website, the usage fee for the first month is free, so it is a great deal.
Also, if you sign a contract with a SIM card at the same time, you can get a cashback of 3,300 yen for the administrative fee!
There is also a special security plan for using mobile router terminals with peace of mind, so you can be prepared in case of emergency.
usage fee | 330 yen per month | |
---|---|---|
Guarantee contents | Costs without security | At the time of joining the guarantee |
Natural failure | 5,500 yen to 22,000 yen | 1,100 yen |
Corruption | 11,000 yen to 22,000 yen | 1,100 yen |
Total loss / submerged | 22,000 yen | 3,300 yen |
Lost or stolen | 22,000 yen | 5,500 yen |
Battery exchange | 8,800 yen | 1,100 yen |
* All displays include tax
While paying attention to the above points, let's choose whether to use a SIM card plan or a Wi-Fi router rental service according to the purpose!
HIS Mobile notes and word of mouth / reputation
From here, we will introduce the points to note about HIS Mobile, along with the reviews and reputations of actual users.
You can avoid regrets and troubles after the contract by not paying attention only to the merits but also knowing the precautions!
With HIS Mobile, you can purchase a SIM card and a device such as a smartphone as a set, but all the devices on sale are second-hand products.
Of course, it does not interfere with the operation, but be careful of those who say "second-hand goods have resistance" or "want to use new ones".
When purchasing a device with a SIM set, there are two patterns: one is to apply for the plan first and then the device is purchased, and the other is to purchase the device and then apply for the plan.
However, if you apply for the plan first, the device must be purchased within 10 days of applying for the plan.
If more than 11 days have passed since you applied for the plan, you will not be able to purchase the device!
By the way, the terminal can be purchased separately.
In order to purchase a device, you need to register as a member of the online shop, but there is no membership fee or annual membership fee, so let's register with confidence.
As of February 2022, if you have any questions or want to know about HIS Mobile, we will only respond to inquiries by email.
Until now, it was possible to respond by telephone, but due to the influence of the new coronavirus, the "telephone" window will be suspended for the time being, and business hours will be shortened to respond by "email".
Contact name | Purpose | mail address |
---|---|---|
HIS Mobile help desk | Inquiries about domestic communication / overseas SIM "strange SIM" | His-mobile@mvno.ne.jp |
HIS Mobile Wi-Fi Support Center | Inquiries about HIS Mobile Wi-Fi | Hismobile-contact@wi-ho.net |
Even if you make an inquiry by e-mail, you may not receive a reply immediately depending on the situation.
It may be an inconvenient situation for people who want to contact the operator directly by phone or who are not good at email.
If you're in a hurry or don't like email inquiries, you may find a solution by searching for "Frequently Asked Questions" on the official website.
As a result of searching on Twitter with the keyword "HIS mobile inquiry", we found the following reviews.
While many businesses offer "chat" and "LINE" as well as "email" and "telephone" as inquiries, some people may be worried that "email only" is available.
Even though it is affected by the new coronavirus, it seems to be a big negative point for those who place importance on early resolution of troubles.
People who recommend HIS Mobile
Based on the merits and precautions, we found that the following people are recommended for HIS Mobile.
I will explain in detail why each can be recommended.
Take a closer look at HIS Mobile
HIS Mobile pricing plans are detailed for each application.
You can choose the best plan for you, so you can use your communication costs without waste!
There is no contract period such as "If you do not continue the contract for 〇 years, a penalty will be incurred", so it is a nice point to be able to contract or cancel at any time.
Since the service is provided by a travel agency called HIS, there are services that are specialized for overseas use.
"Weird SIM" can be used as many times as you like once you purchase it, so it is recommended for people who often travel abroad for work or private use!
In addition, HIS Mobile Wi-Fi is supported in the largest class in the industry, so it is highly possible that it can be used in areas not supported by other companies.
You can buy a smartphone at a great price with a cheap SIM.
Although the terminals sold are second-hand products, they work normally, so it is recommended for people who say, "If it works properly, you don't have to worry about second-hand products."
Cheap smartphones you want to consider with HIS Mobile
Besides HIS Mobile, there are cheap smartphones that we can recommend.
The cheap smartphones that you can recommend will differ depending on what you prioritize, so consider it with HIS Mobile!
Rakuten Mobile is a cheap smartphone called the "fourth carrier" that has its own Rakuten line.
There is only one price plan, and the simplicity of "paying only for what you use" is attractive.

The most attractive point of Rakuten Mobile is that you can use it for 0 yen up to 1GB.
If you have a WiFi environment at home or at work and rarely connect to the internet on your smartphone, you may be able to significantly reduce your monthly communication costs!
Also, since the charge does not change no matter how much you use it after it exceeds 20GB, you will not inadvertently make a large-capacity communication and receive a high bill.

Cheap smartphones have the image of being slower than the three major carriers, but if you want to focus on speed among cheap smartphones, we recommend "UQ Mobile" or "Ymobile".
Which one you can recommend depends on the number of users!
"UQ Mobile for single use" and "Ymobile for family use".
UQ Communications provides the service, and it is a cheap smartphone that is well-known for its luxurious commercial development.
It also supports 5G communication, so you can expect high-speed communication within the service area.

Also, if you apply the "Home Set Discount", which is a set discount with an internet line such as au Hikari or au Denki, the monthly charge will be discounted, which is a great deal.
It is a cheap smartphone recommended for those who want to use a smartphone with a comfortable communication speed and a satisfactory price.
Take a closer look at UQ Mobile
This is also a well-known cheap smartphone, but if you use it alone, the price will be higher than UQ Mobile.

Therefore, if you are worried about the online procedure or have any questions or concerns, you can consult with the professional staff directly at the Ymobile shop.
