FAQ
What is WiFiBOX?
WiFiBOX is a new portable Wi-Fi rental service by Telecom Square with a surprisingly simple rental process, and no hidden fees. Only take several minutes to book yours! Japan domestic plan and international plans are available with affordable price.
How are you different from other Wi-Fi rental services?
The whole process is totally contactless and quick, just like when you buy drinks from vending machines in Japan. There is no need to line up at a pickup counter, and no need to arrive at your hotel first to retrieve your Wi-Fi unit.
Also, you only bring the Wi-Fi unit without any bulky accessories, so it does not take up space in your bag.
I want to use the Wi-Fi not only in Japan, but in other countries as well. Can I?
Yes. Choose “Regional Plan”. You can view the supported countries on the product detail page.
Why Renting Wi-Fi is an Advantage?
Free Wi-Fi in Japan is actually rather slow, not widely available, and sometimes not really free.
Meanwhile, renting a mobile Wi-Fi is as easy as one two three.
With mobile Wi-Fi, you just have to connect once to your router, and internet connection will be there all the time.
WiFiBOX router can connect to up to 5 devices; making it very practical when you travel in a group, or when you are using multiple devices at the same time.
It’s true that you can also use a SIM card, but it depends on your phone’s compatibility. If it’s not compatible, you won’t be able to use it at all, let alone the confusing settings you have to go through before using it.
Using SIM card also means that there is a high chance that you have to switch between your SIM card and the one you are buying. Wouldn’t it be troublesome if you lose such a small item?
With Wi-Fi router, switching SIM cards isn’t needed, so you are free from the unnecessary tragedy of losing your SIM card.
Why mobile Wi-Fi for traveling in Japan?
While public Wi-Fi is available in places like stations, hotels, and cafes, it’s not widely spread out. Then, it’s quite often that we find Wi-Fi connections requiring us to submit our personal data. Oh, have we told you that the speed is often slow since there are many people accessing it at the same time?
While free Wi-Fi is practical, oftentimes your privacy is at risk that you really need to be careful.
With mobile Wi-Fi, you can stay connected to the internet no matter where you are in Japan, and this is especially helpful when you are traveling and need to access maps, transportation schedules, and other important information. Mobile Wi-Fi in Japan provides the same level of connectivity that you would expect from a high-speed home broadband connection.
What is the difference between WiFiBOX and other Wi-Fi rentals?
You can easily receive your Wi-Fi in a non-personal, contactless manner. Unlike conventional international Wi-Fi rentals, there is no need to wait in line at a busy airport pickup counter or wait for a delivery to arrive; with WiFiBOX, you only need to carry the Wi-Fi itself, no heavy pouches.
WhWhich do you recommend, international Wi-Fi rental or international eSIM?
The advantage of an eSIM for overseas use is that it is inexpensive and your smartphone can be used without modification. On the other hand, they are limited to compatible models and require some configuration changes to connect. eSIMs are useful when traveling alone or with a group of people traveling separately. Overseas Wi-Fi rentals do not require any initial settings and can communicate with any smartphone as long as it is connected to Wi-Fi. You can even connect and share with your friends at the same time. On the other hand, it is suitable for group activities because communication is lost if you leave the person with the Wi-Fi router. It is also possible to connect your PC, tablet, or other devices other than your smartphone to your communication. In particular, WiFiBOX supports low-cost unlimited plans for all destinations, so you can save money by sharing with several people. Telecom Square also offers an eSIM product for overseas use (eSIM square), and we recommend using WiFiBOX's completely unlimited plan and eSIM square together. Click here to purchase eSIM square at the eSIM store for overseas use.
