Holafly keeps the buying decision short: choose a destination among 200+, choose the number of days, and you get unlimited data with no top-ups. Its Japan price table listed $11.90 for 3 days, $27.50 for 7 days and $73.90 for 30 days, with 4G and 5G speeds. The main fine print is the hotspot. Holafly lets you share 1 GB of data per day with other devices, so a 7-day plan includes 7 GB of sharable data, which is fine for a phone but tight for a laptop. Its refund policy offers a full or partial refund when the eSIM fails because of Holafly or the local network. The cost is the drawback. For the same trip length, Ubigi and Maya listed lower unlimited prices, and Holafly's pages showed some prices in PLN next to USD from our location. It is data only, so you keep your home number active for calls and texts.
