Pros and cons

Pros

  • Collection at Narita, Haneda, Kansai, Chubu, New Chitose and Fukuoka, or delivery ahead of the trip to a hotel, a home address or a post office
  • Return by prepaid envelope in any mailbox in Japan, at no added charge
  • Support by email, phone and help centre while you are still in the country

Cons

  • A daily cap of 3GB per day rather than an unlimited plan, so a heavy streaming day can use the allowance up early
  • One shared connection tops out at 1 to 10 devices
  • Handing the device back means posting a prepaid envelope to a mailbox in Japan, so plan the return around postal time

Who it suits

  • Travellers whose flight lands at a Japanese airport and who want a device before leaving the terminal
  • Anyone who would rather have the pocket WiFi sent to a hotel, home address or post office before the trip
  • Small groups sharing a single connection, given a capacity of 1 to 10

Who should look elsewhere

  • Travellers crossing several markets on one trip, who would suit QCell and its roaming data package of 50MB to 2GB per roaming data package
  • Anyone whose trip centres on Chile, where the daily price to weigh is CLP 3,990
  • Visitors to Cape Town, who would compare ZAR 29 instead

Who runs it

The rental agreement is held by COOCOM CO., LTD., headquartered in Japan. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so a traveller can call, write or browse the help centre while still in the country, and both delivery and return sit inside Japan.

How Global Advanced Communications compares

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Global Advanced Communications pocket WiFi cost per day?+

The premium Japan plan is priced at a daily rate of $13.01, and that is the figure to compare against other pocket WiFi providers. The same plan sets the daily allowance at 3GB per day, so price and data move together on this tier.

How much data do I get each day?+

The premium plan includes 3GB per day. It is a daily allowance rather than an unlimited plan, so maps, messaging, video calls and streaming all draw on the same cap, and a heavy day can use it up early.

Where can I collect the device in Japan?+

Collection happens at arrival airport counters at Narita, Haneda, Kansai, Chubu, New Chitose and Fukuoka, and the device can be sent to a hotel, a residential address or a post office. Support runs on email, phone and help centre if you want a delivery address confirmed before departure.

How do I hand the device back?+

Return is free and uses a prepaid envelope you can drop into any mailbox in Japan, so handing the device back shortly before departure takes a couple of minutes. If a mailbox is missed, support runs on email, phone and help centre to sort a late return.

How many devices can share the connection?+

One connection serves 1 to 10, which covers a phone, a laptop and a tablet with no extra hardware. A larger group shares the same 3GB per day allowance, so spreading streaming across the day beats saving it all for one evening.

Is the data unlimited?+

The premium plan is capped at 3GB per day per day, so usage is bounded by the daily allowance. A traveller who streams heavily for hours at a time will reach the cap sooner than one who spreads browsing, maps and calls across the day.

Who runs the service and how do you get help?+

The service runs under the legal entity COOCOM CO., LTD., headquartered in Japan. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, covering phone, email and a help centre, which handles questions while a stay is under way and a device is out with you.
