I will be leaving Japan next week and just relapsed that my current phone contract doesn’t allow me to get my Japanese verification sms. Does anyone have a phone carrier/sim card provider that can quickly provide a sim card (which allows me to receive Japanese SMS abroad) and is not to expensive to maintain even abroad? Would be grateful for your help! I am currently a resident but will leave next week.

POVO is rolling out international coverage soon, [starting next week](https://povo.jp/service/international_roaming/). Is eSIM an option for you?
NOT 100% TESTED — for some reason I get my SMS messages from my Docomo service when my Docomo SIM card is in my phone and I’m connected to any WiFi. Haven’t tested or asked Docomo why.
Ymobile doesn’t work overseas/in Europe.
Not sure if this is actually connected to yahoo blocking nearly all of their services (excluding mail) for Europe however
