APN for Pocket SIM for Japan

If you find yourself arriving to Tokyo – maybe via the Haneda airport – and having bought a Japanese prepaid SIM card – Pocket SIM – at the airport which you cannot get working, maybe this will help.

The included pamplet says to use the following settings (so maybe Google led you here?)

Nameppsim
APNppsim.jp
User namepp@sim
Passwordjpn
Authentication typePAP or CHAP

but they won’t work.

The actual settings can be found in this Twitter thread. Try the following (Pocket SIM Premium)

APNppsim.jp
User namepp@psim
Passwordjpn

or (Pocket SIM)

APNpsim.jp
User namejapan@psim
PAsswordjapan

or

APNdm.jplat.net
Usernamepocket@sim
Passwordjapan

P.S. If you haven’t bought the SIM card already, I recommend that you try to find the U-Mobile prepaid SIM card, which is sometimes sold in vending machines.
