Gregory King

Our recent holiday in Japan was made all the more enjoyable by having access to our pocket wireless device. Easy to get/return, easy to set-up, competitive pricing, and very convenient. Connectivity was great wherever we travelled, and the device was small enough to pack into a bum bag. We were very happy and will use again.

Peter Hodges

Really convinient product, super easy to order, collect, and then return at the end of your trip, with good communication & all the instructions you need. The pocket wifi device worked faultlessly, with plenty of data and also excellent battery life, despite near constant use. Wouldn't hesistate to recommend if you can't or don't want to use an esim.

Erik M van der Lee

It is just easy to use. Did have to give the qr scannng process three tries before is processed fully, but that was it.

Aruna Sriram

Easy pickup delivered to hotel. Service was awesome no issues found was a smooth connection.

Mohamed Mousa

Good speed , thank you

Krista Mae C. Sotalbo

Erik Toth

Reliable, actually inexpensive service.

Vanessa Cremona

Always our go to when we visit Japan, have used 4 times, and travelled throughout the country, this time to Okinawa Islands with no problem. So easy to pick up and post back. Will use again

Stephen Pallas

Really good works well and very easy to install and activate

Susan Greenwell

Easy to connect. Worked well

Rachel Gierak

I’m so glad we got one of these for the trip. I will say, it runs faster with one device than two. It was only for me and my partner, and he had a locked phone. But the battery life was adequate for our needs, and it was absolutely handy for our trip! Would highly recommend

Thida Thein

Amazing and reliable service.

Savanna Nguyen

GOOD PRICE & COMPANY

Marylyn Kaahanui

I had both an eSIM card for myself and the Japan Wireless Pocket Wifi for my husband's use. Having both came in very handy as we always had internet connection wherever we went in Japan. The Pocket Wifi freed up my husband's phone so we could call anywhere we needed to as a regular phone line.

Luke Dunbebin

Fantastic service that never let me down! The delivery to hotel on arrival and easy drop off made for a very smooth process. I will be recommending Japan Wireless to anybody who visits Japan

Thorsten Lifka

Worked perfectly everywhere! Met expectations 100%.

Victoria Chan

I prefer getting a portable WiFi than to get eSIM so it doesn’t interfere with my existing phone plan. The WiFi service was good, also good battery life. Device is light weight Would definitely use it again when I visit Japan!

Peter Kam

We put this portable Wifi to use everyday in our visit to Japan. The included battery/charger was very helpful, because we needed reliable internet connection day and night.
