TokyoとKyotoでテザリングも高速通信も快適
物理SIMを抜き差しせずにiPhoneへそのままインストールできて安心でした。 Tokyo中心部からOsakaまでNTT docomoの電波が強く、配車アプリや翻訳も快適でした。 コスパも通信品質も大満足です。
★★★★☆
Easy iphone setup before flying to HND
Speeds on NTT docomo were fast enough for facetime and video calls from Tokyo with zero lag. dropped to 4G LTE for a bit in rural areas outside Kyoto, but stayed super reliable overall.
★★★★★
Rakuten Mobile 망 덕분에 여행 내내 끊김 없이 사용
HND 도착하자마자 NTT docomo 5G로 자동 연결돼서 Tokyo 시내까지 구글맵 바로 켰어요. 여행 내내 데이터 걱정 없이 정말 만족스럽게 썼습니다.
