Connect Minna
Launching 2026 · eSIM for Japan

Your connection in Japan,
quietly yours.

Connect Minna is a UK-operated eSIM service for residents, Japanese nationals abroad, and visitors to Japan — designed around data minimisation and privacy by design, not as an afterthought.

Who it's for

Two ways to stay connected.

01

Residents & expatriates

For foreign residents in Japan and Japanese nationals living abroad. A private, dependable connection for everyday life in Japan — held to UK GDPR standards, with your data kept to a minimum.

Mid- to long-term
02

Visitors to Japan

For short stays — travel and business. Activate an eSIM online in minutes, before you land. Reliable data and connectivity for the length of your trip, with no physical SIM to collect.

How we operate

Data minimisation

We collect only what is strictly required to provide the service, and keep it no longer than necessary. Privacy is the default, not a setting.

A UK operator

Run by Connect Minna Ltd, a company registered in the United Kingdom and bound by UK GDPR — a clear, accountable legal home for your data.

Lawful use, by design

Our service is for lawful, personal use. Transparent terms and zero tolerance for fraud or abuse keep the network trustworthy for everyone.

Data plans

Japan eSIM plans.

Privacy Line — a US number, charged only when it works.

A real US second number for everyday privacy. Pick a service you want to verify with (Apple ID, Signal, Telegram…) — we hold the card, watch for the verification SMS, and only capture the $5 charge when the service actually accepts the number. If 48 hours pass with no verification, no charge is taken.
