I have U Mobile but that is Rm36 a day. What cheaper alternatives SIM card for data especially I can get in Japan. I read that you can even buy one at Yodabashi or Bic Camera.

QUOTE(quadcube @ Aug 13 2016, 10:24 AM) Depends on what you need,validity or amount of data.. i only need for 8 days of travel. unlimited data or less also can considerWhen I need to use quite a lot of data for a day or two,I just use Maxis and run it on roaming plan For my case,I need 80+ days of data,so I went for IIJmio Japan travel sim,2GB for 3 months,the cheapest I could find  im going to need it for just lite surfing and whatsapp nevermind i think i will just get this at yodobashi - http://www.yodobashi.com/日本通信-JCI-...00001003114220/ This post has been edited by idoblu: Aug 13 2016, 10:35 AM |

QUOTE(munkeyflo @ Aug 13 2016, 11:13 AM) Go Japan bojio!!! You see the bmobile seems cheaper.  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. I don't want rental for wifi eggs, have to carry, have to return. Very mafarn Hotel got wifi but ....actually now come to think of it, do I need wifi when go jalan jalan?  I didn't have last time also |

QUOTE(Fyonne @ Aug 15 2016, 01:21 PM) got link? Info and order here but they only ship to a Japan address like your hotel. Problem is it could take a couple of daysmostly i found is RM30+- perday. in which i still thinkin bout using international data roaming which provide limited data perday but with more room for my pocket/bags/powerbank for something else. http://www.bmobile.ne.jp/english/index.html So the best is go to a Yodobashi store and buy straight. This is for the nano sim. They also got microsim http://www.yodobashi.com/%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%A...00001003114220/ You can get 8% tax free return and if you use Visa card you get another 5% off at Yodobashi and Bic Pls check if your smartphone is in the compatible list This post has been edited by idoblu: Aug 16 2016, 10:50 AM |

QUOTE(munkeyflo @ Aug 16 2016, 07:32 PM) Thanks. Based on what I find, I guess the IIJmio sim would be best if I can get the 1GB 30 days one. According to their website can get at Narita airport. :thumbsup: 1gb can catch how many pokemons? 😆Edit: Just saw JTB Malaysia sells them as well. Maybe tomorrow go check out the JTB booth near my office. http://jtbmalaysia.com/japantravelsim/ This bmobile also not really unlimited as claimed. They throttle you down once you are over 1gb but they renew every three days For bmobile you can choose the starting date for online purchase. If you buy at retail stores, the time starts when the store activate for you on the spot. How about IIJmio? |
