PrePaid iPhone XS TravelPass in Japan

[daveatc1234]

I currently have a prepaid plan on my iPhone XS. I will be traveling to Japan next month, and I am unclear whether or not I can use TravelPass while I am there to make/receive calls and texts. I have found conflicting information on the Verizon pages. Some say there is no service provided there, while other pages say there is service available at $10/day. Can someone officially clarify for me?

THANK YOU!

I’m confused, because this clearly indicates Travel pass for prepaid?

So, to FINALLY clarify this, Erica. The original question. YES, Prepaid users CAN use PrePass, but NO PrePass is not available in Japan for prepaid customers. IS THAT CORRECT?

THANK YOU!

daveatc1234, we are here to ensure you have all the information that you need. Yes, that is correct. TravelPass is available to prepaid customers, but the list of available countries is different compared to postpaid customers. Regrettably, Japan is not available for prepaid TravelPass. We hope this information is beneficial.

I certainly appreciate you taking the time to answer my question, but now, as the other member here has noted, I’m a bit more confused. I travel a lot to Canada and Mexico with this phone, and I have used travelpass in both those locations. In fact, when I go into my account on Verizon, you can see it:

So when I click on that “international coverage map” link, japan is not listed. However, when I go to travelpass coverage on other pages, it IS listed. Hence my confusion.

It seems Travel pass is available, but as you noted Japan isn’t included.  

My son found Wifi available almost everywhere in Japan and didn’t need cellular.  

Alternate is a local SIM card.
