SIMCARD, POCKET WIFI



There are various types in Japan:



Type A) B-Mobile pocket WiFi, working off the Docomo 3G cell phone network.
This has has a wider service area (and customers have said they have used on trains) although it is a little slower (300Kb/s) - fine for email and basic internet use- pages should load in 5-10 secs.



If renting with a phone - Yen 3900 for up to one week, then Yen 300 per day
If renting just the pocket WiFi- Yen 5900 for up to one week, then Yen 300 per day



Type B) BIC Wimax pocket WiFi, working off the data-only Wimax broadband signal.
This is much faster (apparently it can be up to 40Mb/s - usually about 10Mb/s) but the service area is rather more limited (unlikely to work in the countryside or on trains)


If renting with a phone - Yen 4900 for up to one week, then Yen 300 per day
If renting just the pocket WiFi- Yen 6900 for up to one week, then Yen 300 per day

The rental charge includes shipping both ways and unlimited use (no extra data charge).




Simcard for your own phone with 1GB internet.


3,686yen (excluding tax)
