Am after simcard with data for personal portable wifi router (simlock free) Cannot change the APN settings on the router but use of different providers has been possible in the past. Tried travelsimcard-doccommo setting up via iPhone didn't work.
Seeking for simcard - am aware of portable rental and using iPhone hotspot

If you cannot change the apn of the router and a docomo based sim already failed, then it is unlikely that you'll be able to find a local data provider as they are primarily based on the docomo network. You might get lucky with an au based sim mvno like UQ mobile if it is compatible with your router.

thanks for your reply. In the meantime I have worked it out along with the great service and patience of the customer service of Travel-Sim
To change the settings on a wifi portable: Insert Sim-card in portable router. Search for wifi with iPhone/Android - log onto wifi Open Safari at your device - type the following: 1) 192.168.0.1 2) Enter username and password as : (most likely) admin 3) Under wireless tab, you can change your Wireless network name and password. APN SETTINGS 4) Click Apply (had to do this twice) 5) Portabel will reboot and voila I could log in to my wifi
All set and done!
4) For changing password, Go to wireless security under 'Wireless' tab. 5) You can type your new password under 'Password'( WPA/WPA2- Personal) and click on save. 6) U will get a msg to reboot ur device. So reboot ur device under 'system tools' n there u go with ur new WiFi password!

I see, sorry I interpreted your question to mean that it was not possible to change the APN of your device. Good to hear it worked out.
