Get a SIM at CDG Terminal 2E!

If you fly with Japan Airlines (JAL), you'll arrive at Terminal 2E of Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), the gateway to Paris. Getting a SIM card there is incredibly easy.

Get a SIM card at Berlin Tegel Airport

So, this time I went to Dresden, an ancient city in Germany, from October 16th. Because flights to Dresden were fully booked and I couldn't get a ticket, I ended up traveling by land from Berlin, so I got my SIM card at Berlin's Tegel Airport (TXL). I arrived on Air Berlin, which is going bankrupt and will cease operations in a few days, so I landed in Terminal C, but to get the SIM card, I needed to go to Terminal C…

Get a SIM in the Schengen area of ​​Helsinki Airport

Well, this week, with the words "information bank" plastered across the front page of the Nikkei newspaper, a large number of people are apparently heading from Japan to the My Data 2017 conference, and I'm one of them.

Unlimited data usage with France's Orange Mobicarte (with its catches)

Since I have a SIM-free iPhone 4s, I thought it was a bit much to be paying 2000-3000 yen a day to SoftBank, so I went to the Orange store in Montparnasse to get a SIM card. It took about 40 minutes including waiting time, but the staff spoke English well, so there were no problems there. I also asked if I could get a data plan...

Dutch SIM – Ortel APN settings etc.

Right after getting off the plane at Schiphol Airport and clearing customs, there's a shop selling SIM-free phones and SIM cards. I bought a prepaid SIM card from an MVNO called Ortel there. It cost €24.95 = €9.95 (SIM card) + €7.50 (phone charges) + €7.50 (credit for other plans). Internet/data will be purchased using this credit. The plan is…
