Travelers to Japan and South Korea Stay Connected

For years, strict regulations and administrative hurdles were the reality for many tourists registering for a local data SIM card. Transatel DataSIM’s innovative offer now allows travelers to forget the stress and connect right after landing, all the while benefiting from local conditions for data. Travelers will profit with one SIM card as they connect to the internet via Japan’s KDDI network at just €0.038/MB and South Korea’s SK Telecom network at €0.083/MB.

Smart travel to Japan and South Korea means finding the best solution to stay connected

Japan and South Korea can be tricky countries for buying local SIM cards. Tourists confront long paperwork and request forms to have their foreign device added to the network. Now thanks to Transatel DataSIM, with the cooperation of KDDI and SK Telecom, these travelers and tourists can avoid the stress, profit from local rates with one SIM card and enjoy their connectivity freedom. Transatel's prepaid global SIM card expires 18 months after last use and can be easily recharged through the customer webapp for future travels. The SIM card can be purchased via www.transatel-datasim.com, and is also delivered worldwide at no extra cost, so travelers are ready-to-go on their journey.

Jacques Bonifay, Transatel CEO: "We're proud to be offering innovative solutions for travelers everywhere, and in particular, now, for the two economically and culturally important countries of Japan and Korea. Whether for business or leisure, these destinations are well worth the trip, and being able to stay connected can definitely mean a better trip all round".

New data bundles to make regional travel cost-effective

Transatel DataSIM is providing better deal bundles, fittingly grouped into continents, for their consumers.

To date, there are 6 bundle pass offers, each equipped with 1GB: Europe, Asia, Oceania, Americas, Africa, and the Caribbean.

Those interested in visiting Japan and South Korea will also have access to Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia and 10 other countries in the Asia bundle [2] to continue their Asian itinerary.

Bundles can be combined and added to existing credit on the account. The bundle is then prioritized when traveling to a country covered by the bundle.

How does Transatel’s DataSIM card work?

Simply inserted into any laptop or tablet equipped with a SIM slot, the prepaid data SIM card is delivered for free internationally and allows travelers to benefit from permanent internet connectivity worldwide, at local prices.

For travelers who do not own a laptop or tablet with a slot for a SIM card, Transatel offers the Wi-Fi hotspot as an alternative. Ordered and delivered already preconfigured with the SIM card, the hotspot shares internet access with up to ten separate devices simultaneously. This is an ideal solution for trips with family, friends or colleagues, whether to consult emails, surf the web, use mobile apps for navigation, stream videos, stay connected via social media, and instantly send home—or to the office—videos and photographs.
