It is very simple to get a contract with LightPocket.
All you need to do is just place an order after determining how long you you will need it. With LightPocket, you can rent a pocket WiFi router with a very wide range of rental periods from short to long. You can use the pocket WiFi router once you receive it. No additional set-up is required.
First off, to use the internet, you might think that you should contract with major companies even if it is pricey. However, as a non-resident staying in Japan, there are a lot of difficulties when you try to contract with major mobile carriers (NTT Docomo, KDDI, SoftBank).
For example. you need a visa which has at least two years validity because the contract period is more than two years. While short-stay visitors also can make agreements, the period is fixed and you have to pay a penalty if the contract is broken before expiration.
Moreover, their contracts have too many options, which can even confuse local residents, and the process will wear on you as it takes a long time and you need to make may decisions before you can get your SIM or pocket WiFi. Although each of the major carriers have many physical stores, most of them suffer from insufficient foreign language support.
Japan's portable WiFi Hotspot.
A pocket WiFi is a portable wireless modem, also know as MiFi, mobile hotspot, or internet dongle, that connects any Wi-Fi enabled device (smartphones, tablets, etc) to the internet through a mobile network.It works like an at home Wi-Fi hotspot, generating a WiFi network with a radius of about 5-10 meters around you. It requires no installation. Just turn on the pocket WiFi, enter the password and then you can immediately connect your personal devices.
