I'm going to Osaka this Sunday for 4 days. So just wanna get some recommendations on travel/pocket wifi. So far I've narrowed down to 2 providers that seems reliable (please correct me if I'm wrong):

1. Roaming Man MY
2. Travel Recommends

For a KL/PJ/Subang person, which is easier to pick up by this Friday (17 May)? Besides those 2, are there any other reliable providers out there? I noticed there are some but has terrible reviews.

4 pax, but probably at most also 3 devices will be connected to it at all time. Mainly for Whatsapp, Google Maps, a bit of FB & perhaps some Googling for help lol.

That's good to hear! Do I have to make advance booking with them now to secure a unit? Or can I visit them directly in the KLIA 1 to discuss & pay?

Besides Travel Recommends, have you tried others?

The SIM card or our telco roaming is one of the safest option. But my phone battery can't even last an hour if i do that lol. Too much PoGo last time gg-ed my battery

Yea simple web browsing & social media usage only. Better spend more time offline while being overseas lol.


I'm planning to utilize the Amazing Osaka Pass (2 days). Just wanna check with people who had similar experience, may I know if my itinerary is too hectic or rush? Assuming I'm going to kick off my day at 10am & retire back to the hotel at 10pm. The journey will most likely be via train + walking.

Day 1
Sakuya Konohana Kan
Osaka Castle
Utsubo Park
Kuromon Ichiba Market
Dotonbori

Day 2
Nagai Botanical Garden
Osaka Tennoji Zoo
Keitakuen Garden
Kuromon Ichiba Market (optional)
Dotonbori (optional)
Umeda Sky Building

Are there any other "highly recommended to go" places that I missed out?

Yea there bound to be people encountering bad experience with the device something. Just wanna ensure whichever providers I go to isn't notorious for bad experience

The cheapest i found is RM8 per day but the provider is notorious for delay deposit refund & very unresponsive (even for technical help)

My phone batter is very weak, so that's why i'd prefer to use travel/pocket wifi over the SIM card method. If i tether from my phone, confirm 1 hour later my phone will be dead

Ohhhh, so that's what you meant by using SIM. Yea, I totally forgot about that. I'm not a season traveler, so I don't have my own MiFi device. A good one costs a few hundreds right?

No worries la, like I said....I understand if some people encounter bad experience. Nothing is perfect after all. Hopefully there won't be any issues during my trip later no matter which travel wifi provider i use.

Okie dokie. I just booked from Travel Recommends already, cross my fingers & hope everything will be ok.

Another thing to check. I'll be departing KLIA at 2pm & arrive at 10pm. Is it better to buy the train ticket to town at KIX itself or buy while in Malaysia?

Is it easy to hail Uber (or their local e-hailing if there's any) in Osaka or better to just use their cabs? Just wanna know in case need to use suddenly.

Have to be a member in Klook to buy anything there? I can't find the option to check out as Guest

Okie thanks

Yea, just came back. It's actually possible without being that rush. But it's too much walking, so my feet can't make it lol

Anyway for those who planning to visit Kuromon Market. Among the many "cook as you pick" seafood sellers, there's 1 that is run by PRC. You may want to avoid that shop. IMO they serve overpriced sub-quality food.

Yea it's pretty obvious, welcomes you in Mandarin, talks all the way in Mandarin & very rush. From the way they talk too, can easily tell they're immigrants.
