Pocket Wi-Fi converts signals into Wi-Fi, ensuring compatibility with various devices and stable connections. If your smartphone does not support the Japanese frequency band, you may not be able to communicate in some places in Japan. By using pocket Wi-Fi, you can use the Internet without worrying about frequency compatibility.
The SIM cards used in Pocket Wi-Fi are continuously monitored and improved, similar to the networks commonly used by Japanese citizens, ensuring consistent and stable communication. Prepaid SIM cards (eSIMs), which are designed based on demand forecasts, tend to have slower transmission speeds because they are not designed to handle significant increases in transmission speeds during peak tourist periods or weekday daytime hours.
Pocket Wi-Fi's security features, including regular firmware updates and advanced encryption standards, make it a safe choice.
Pocket Wi-Fi offers larger data communication capacities compared to prepaid SIM (eSIM). There are plans that allow for 50GB or even 100GB+ of data transmission.
| Pocket Wi-Fi plan | Monthly data usage |
| Softbank Pocket Wi-Fi | 100GB/month |
| Cloud Pocket WiFi Rental | 200GB/month |
While smartphones can also be tethered to connect multiple devices to the Internet, Pocket Wi-Fi is specifically designed to connect multiple devices to the Internet. This makes it the ideal method for using the Internet when staying in Japan with family or friends, as it allows multiple devices to be connected simultaneously.
