I am currently in Japan and will leave on April.

Two intel I wanna share with you guys:

1. If you are flying with AirAsia, very likely you can catch up with last monorail/tokyu train. You can plan around that.

2. Do not use Digi and Celcom data roaming.
I was thinking I might need my mobile number in Japan for example credit card online transaction, might as well go with digi. The truth is zero service availability.
Then I thought luckily I brought along my second number with Celcom. Quickly I bought nearly rm100 purported data roaming pass. The truth is it barely connects. Keep disconnecting.
My rm200 burn liao 😂

Haneda.
Took more than 1 hour.
5 flights came in in the window of 30 minutes. However AirAsia is slightly ahead of sequence.
So making to tokyu and monorail is still possible.


I still can't believe how Celcom-digi can advertise for services that do not work on the ground just like that.
I will see this complain go through.

Thanks.
I contacted Celcom support and successful getting stable connection after some trouble shooting.

However, for digi I still have no idea how to get connected.
Below: sim 1 - digi, sim 2 - Celcom.

Got back from Japan earlier this week, sharing a few info:


1. Tokyo is more than 80% using credit/prepaid card. Not sure where I read people saying Japan prefer cash. Not with Tokyo.


2. I tested among Wise, TnGo and Bigpay visa prepaid card, Wise gives best exchange rate. I tried so you no need to try.
For more info please refer: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...#entry107009880


3. Cash (changed from mid valley money changer) still gives best rate. Though if you do not spend much the discrepancy might not be significant. Might as well just use Wise to make life easier.

Maybe you are right.

It really depends on where do you spend.

I used Seven bank atm.
I tried Japan post atm not working.
This is at Haneda airport.

Now abit regret should had tried a few more machines.
