π± Why We Started with SIMs
The leader of our operations team has worked in the telecom industry for more than 20 years.
Starting with selling mobile phones, they have gone on to manage sales operations, negotiate with carriers and trading companies, handle back-office work, oversee other managers, and run a business. They have experienced every part of the telecom front line.
For more than 6 of those years, they have been providing SIMs to foreign residents of Japan as an MVNO/MVNE operator.
Selling and renting SIMs, collecting payments, setting up our own customer support, gathering information and making improvements, handling end users' unpaid bills, negotiating with business partners, managing inventory, and paying our partners their rewards.
From delivering to the customer, through after-sales service, to the flow of money, we have carried out all of it with our own hands.
After a long time in the field, you start to see how hard it is for people who aren't used to the Japanese language or the system to understand Japan's telecom system.
What trips up people who have just started living in Japan is, in fact, something very familiar.
Their phone doesn't connect
They don't know how to sign up for an internet contract
Without a way to communicate, you can't start looking for a job, doing paperwork at city hall, or booking a hospital appointment.
That is why we chose SIMs, the gateway to daily life, as our first step.
And so that people who use SIMs aren't held back by the walls of language and the system, we deliver articles and videos on SIM Point Community ππ¬
What we aim for as an operations team is clear.
Selling SIMs is not the goal in itself.
1. To create an environment where foreigners living in Japan can take their first step with peace of mind.
2. To help people in the same situation support one another during their time in Japan, through the community's posting features, so they can have a better life in Japan.
These are our goals.
To widen this circle, we believe we need partners who understand the languages and cultures of each country π
π What to Know Before Signing a SIM Contract
Unfortunately, there are quite a few operators whose application processes are problematic.
From April 1, 2027, the rules will change under a revised law. Not only voice SIMs but also data SIMs with SMS will require identity verification. Along with presenting an ID document, its IC chip will also have to be read.
When signing a telecom contract, you may hand over important personal information such as your residence card or My Number.
If you hand over important personal information without checking who the other party is, it might be used for someone else's contract or for a crime. The risk is high both for SIM users and for the partners who refer them.
Before signing a contract, please check:
Are the other party's company name and contact details clear?
Do they explain why personal information is needed?
If you feel even a little uneasy, stop before you send anything and check.
π€ What Is a Referral Partner?
It's an activity where you introduce our SIMs to the people around you who are coming to Japan or living in Japan.
π You can work fully remotely while living in any country
π No initial investment is needed
π It is a system that generates recurring monthly rewards
π People who use SIM Point or SK-SIM can use SPCS (the community) for free. Our strength is that we can support people not only when you refer them, but also after you refer them
β»SIM Point users can use SPCS without limits. SK-SIM users are not eligible for the Premium plan.
Many partners are already active in countries around the world β¨

π How to Apply
Please apply through the application form below. You can choose your preferred language from Japanese, English, Indonesian, Vietnamese, and Bengali π
π Application form
β± How long the form takes
If you'd like to learn more first: about 5 to 8 minutes
If you'd like to go straight to the contract: about 7 to 10 minutes
Most questions are multiple choice. Contract details (official name, address, phone number, email address) are entered only by those who choose to proceed to the contract.
π It goes more smoothly if you have these ready
Your contact details (WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, LINE, email, etc.)
Company or organization name, and links to your website or social media (optional, but entering them may speed up the review)
If you are proceeding to the contract, the official name and address of the individual or company
π What happens after you apply
Submit the form
SIM Point reviews your application (about 7 to 21 days)
We send you the result and next steps through your preferred contact method
β»Submitting the form alone does not complete your partner registration. A review is part of the contract process.
π§ Possible Limits on Accepting Applications
We are a small team and have no spare staff.
To make sure we can support you even after you start referring, we accept partners only in numbers we can manage.
Because of this, the following may happen.
β³ It may take some time from your application until we process it (the review takes about 7 to 21 days, but it may take longer when many applications come in)
π Depending on the situation, we may stop accepting applications
We may keep you waiting, but we will contact everyone who applies as soon as we have checked, through your preferred contact method.
If you're interested, it's best to apply early πββοΈ
β οΈ Notes Before You Start
If you live outside Japan, you are free to do referral activities
If you live in Japan, depending on your residence status (visa type), this kind of activity may not be permitted. Please check your own residence status in advance
