Pros and cons
EE
Pros
- Fast 5G mobile service paired with fibre broadband for busy homes
- Connects many devices at once across phones, tablets and watches
- Combines mobile SIMs with broadband and entertainment TV for households
Cons
- UK centered service which narrows options for multi country travel
- Catalog centers on household connections rather than standalone visitor access
Ninja WiFi
Pros
- Daily price of ¥440 keeps a short Japan trip easy to budget.
- Unlimited data is on offer, listed as the unlimited data feature, and the capped plans slow down past the daily cap.
- Pickup at airport counters or courier delivery to your hotel, with a counter, courier or airport return box for the return.
Cons
- Support runs on phone and help centre only, with no chat or email listed for questions on the ground.
- Unlimited data comes with strings: past the daily cap the speed drops, and very heavy use in a day can suspend the service, with a fair use policy that says Excessive use may cause reduced speed.
- It is built for a single market, with JP as its home country, so it does not stretch beyond Japan.
Who each suits
EE
Who it suits
- Households connecting many devices across one UK account
- Families pairing mobile SIMs with home broadband access
- Homes linking entertainment TV with shared mobile use
Who should look elsewhere
- Travelers needing multi country service beyond the UK
- Visitors wanting only a standalone short stay connection
Ninja WiFi
Who it suits
- You land in Japan and want a device in your bag the same day, with airport counter pickup or courier delivery to your accommodation.
- You browse, stream and map all day and want unlimited data, with a daily cap you can live inside.
- You travel solo or as a pair, since the device handles 2 devices at once.
Who should look elsewhere
- WOM Chile, listed at CLP 3,990 a day, fits a Chile trip better than a Japan-only device.
- QCell, whose roaming data packages cover 50MB to 2GB per roaming data package, suits a traveller who wants data across markets rather than one home country.

Questions about each
EE
What is EE?+
EE operates as a mobile network and broadband provider with 5G mobile service and fibre broadband. It also handles phones, tablets, watches and entertainment TV alongside SIM service. Household use links those products under shared daily connections.
Where does EE work?+
EE works across the UK through its mobile network and home broadband footprint. The focus stays on national mobile use plus steady connections for busy households. That UK centered footprint shapes the combinations shown for family life.
Ninja WiFi
How much does Ninja WiFi cost per day?+
Plans run at ¥440 a day, with the entry point quoted at ¥770. Unlimited data sits inside the range rather than being sold as a separate data top-up, so the daily rate carries the whole cost. Pick the plan length that matches how long you are in the country.
Is the data allowance really unlimited?+
Unlimited data is listed as available, and it shows as the unlimited data feature. The catch sits in the allowance: the capped plans reduce speed once you pass the daily cap, and use beyond a very heavy daily total may suspend the service. So read unlimited as generous rather than endless.
