When you use your US cell phone in Japan, do you temporarily change your contract to Tmobile or

rent a wifi router in Japan?

What do you do when you go back to Japan temporarily ？

It would be very helpful if you could share your good ideas and experiences.

Thank you very much ！

Hi
I used to buy a SIM card and replace it when I arrived in Japan, but now I use a Wi-Fi router exclusively ！ I can use not only my cell phone but also my computer and tablet together.
It is much cheaper to rent a router in Japan than in Hawaii, so
I make reservations to rent one at the airport on my arrival day, or
I have it sent to my parents' house.
When I returned to Japan last month, it cost about ¥ 5800 for 8 weeks ！.

After reading Beach's comment, I looked at Kakaku.com
It is really cheap.
https://kakaku.com/mobile_data/world-wifi/wifi-rental/company/?ww_rentaltype=21

When I go back to Japan in June (I'll be here for a little over 2 weeks), I'll use Amazon.com in the US. （ $ 30 ） 3GB data sim card I bought from Amazon in the U.S.
WiFi router rental may be more convenient ＆.

Good idea, thanks.

#2 Mr. Beach #4 Koji

Thank you very much for your reply.

While back in Japan, I have WIFI at my parents' house, so I only use it when I go out.

I haven't used a SIM card yet, it is set to Sim Locked, so if I want to use a Sim card,

I will have to have my cell company set it to unlocked, right?

I checked the price.com URL for the Wifi router. There is a price difference. I was surprised that there are 1600 yen per month if you choose the cheapest one. ！

Thanks for the information.

Sorry for the flight.

If I have a contract with T-Mobile, does that mean I can use it in Japan ？
When I arrive in Japan, will I see the Japanese carrier （ for example soft bank, etc.．
I have no problem at home with wifi, but if I can use my cell phone to do research when I am out of the country without a wifi router,
I would be very grateful.
