Fairphone threads keep mixing two radios.

A Japan eSIM is an EID profile. If *#06# shows an EID, Airalo / Ubigi / Holafly will install. That is maps, trains, Translate.

Suica / ICOCA is a FeliCa wallet chip. Welcome Suica Mobile is 180 days, no refund (JR East, as of March 2026). Most overseas Android, including phones sold in the EU, still cannot add it.

Has anyone actually tapped a gate with an FP4/FP5/FP6, or only used a physical card + eSIM for maps?
