3 weeks data for Tablet

I will be in Japan for 3 weeks and I would like to use internet for my tablet. Which plan can you advise me? I have used BMOBILE (1 GB) but it was for 14 days... I was considering to rent a WI FI portable device, but it is a little bit expensive.

e-connect and so-net have monthly plans (for roughly the same price as b-mobile's 14 days plans).

Thank you! Is econnect a good quality service? Can I buy it in a shop, without making an online reservation?

Both econnect and so-net use the same network as b-mobile, so for all practical purposes they should be pretty much indistinguishable.

econnect can only be ordered online, so if you want to go to a store you can use so-net (they seem to be adding sales locations regularly).

Does anyone know what the So-net sims initially cost? I'm only able to find the recharge prices.

So-net costs 3000 yen for SIM + 1G of downloads.

It's an LTE SIM, but will work on a 3G only device. Unlike the B-Mobile visitor's SIM which is only 300kbs, the So-net one is high speed.


It's available at retails stores (see their website)
It's also easy to set up, and activate via internet (Directly on Android device or via WiFi on iPhone/iPad)

Unlike the B-Mobile visitor's SIM which is only 300kbs, the So-net one is high speed.

b-mobile also has a high speed plan limited to 1G. The low-speed one, on the other hand, has unlimited traffic.

Sorry, mistake....

So-net costs 3000 yen for initial SIM + 100M of downloads.
The recharge is just over 3000yen for 1G, 60days. Max speed 150Mbs

Wow that's expensive. I wonder what is so compelling about their service that they think they can effectively charge twice as much as the competition.

Sounds like the OP is best off with an e-connect 1gb sim and just recharging if necessary.

IIRC, econnect can't be charged, if you need more than one month of coverage, you just buy several of them.

You can top them up, but they recommend buying multiple cards instead since the top up process is not instant.

How about this service?

they provide sim card or mobile wifi for 3 weeks

Too expensive. You'd probably be better off with the 1gb econnect sim if you need high speed data or their unlimited sim if you don't need high speed.
