Special Notice Concerning LightPocket WiFi Service and the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Dear Users:
LightPocket rents communication tools (WiFi units, Sim Cards, etc.) for tourists and business people who are visiting or staying in Japan.
The world is now undergoing very challenging circumstances with the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). We have watched on TV in disbelief that many visitors in Japan are unable to return to their country because of COVID-19, which very much concerns us. Many of these visitors cannot get access to the net to learn, work, or contact loved ones.
So, we have tried to negotiate with our telecommunications providers, and implored them to increase the availability of new units for those who cannot leave Japan. However, because of the number of people working from home has grown exponentially, networks are reaching capacity, making it impracticable to increase the number of available lines. So, the number of units we can obtain will be limited in the near future.
Thus, we can only operate with stock on hand, but we want to do what we can. Here is what we can offer.
For people who want to rent a WiFi unit now from us:
We will offer temporary discounts on WiFi rental units (as long as there is availability).
The uproar over the COVID-19 will come to an end. At that time, please continue to enjoy your stay in Japan again, with LightPocket Services. We wish for your continued good health and safety.
From all of the LightPocket Employees
