QUOTE(munkeyflo @ Aug 13 2016, 11:13 AM) Go Japan bojio!!!  Most of the Airbnb units there provide free portable wifi egg. Otherwise, you can also rent the wifi egg from airports when you arrive. If I recall correctly, was around RM20 a day or so. Depending on company. Last time I help a friend to buy the travel sim also from Bic. But I can't remember how much already. It was this one: https://t.iijmio.jp/en/Coming Tokyo trip, I'm just going for Airbnb units that provide wifi egg. the wifi egg all have a daily quota so it will depends on your daily usage...and how many ppl will be using it their house have no internet, they use this wifi egg to replace it so if you're using to surf FB or youtube when you're back at home...i suggest getting an extra wifi egg on your own |

QUOTE(munkeyflo @ Aug 15 2016, 10:41 AM) Ohhh. I didn't know that. Good to know. Do you know roughly how much is the daily quota? Looks like I'll have to ask the airbnb unit owner before I confirm any bookings then. i ask a few..like 3-4 some dnt reply or dnt understand what i ask but got one who is not native japanese(taiwanese), he got answer me...he say 1GB/day if u do your usual thing when back home like in other country...surely no enough speed is unknown...some forummer here did mention they use the lower speed ones |

QUOTE(munkeyflo @ Aug 15 2016, 11:34 AM) I see. Hopefully the ones I ask will understand 1GB a day for me alone is good enough. But for 4 then a bit of a stretch. Then again, mostly be using it for emails, whatsapp, getting around and some bragging on social media only. u can try, most dnt know what im asking so they simply didn't reply to that question or they simply reply "high speed internet" for 4 ppl, have to get own wifi egg....i also planned to get one...1GB/day for 3 ppl isn't enough for me, for outside searching for maps and POI is ok |
