Why You Should Rent, Buy Online
People book flights and hotels online. Why not Pocket WiFi and SIM Card?
People are often too lazy to arrange things in advance.
But there are many benefits if you do so especially when it comes to travel.
Better Prices (most likely)
Question: Have you seen anything that is cheaper to buy at the airport?
Online stores do not need to pay for rent, airport tax and so on. Much less operating cost. Those aspects make online shopping extremely price-competitive.
Save Time
Make the most of your time in Japan. Period. Why would you want to walk around and wait in line to purchase on-site with your heavy suitcase?
Wider Selection
Shelf space is not an issue online. You can easily find and compare dozens of stores and products at once with only your fingers.
Easy Payment
Unless you are a cash-only person, handling payment beforehand probably saves time and money. We accept all the credit and debit cards.

Worked great!
It was waiting at our hotel when we arrived. It was easy to set up. Never had an issue with it the entire 2 weeks. The device was easy to return at the airport. Would totally recommend!

Indispensable back-up
The pocket wifi from eConnect was easy to set up and simple to use. It was indispensable as a back-up to our US cell plan and great to have to get map directions and translation service. Japan outside the major cities is getting more and more connected. But having the eConnect pocket wifi ensured we were never without connectivity, even high in the mountains on the Nakasendo road.

Excellent wifi, excellent service
Worked really well for the whole of our 35 day trip. Battery in the wifi lasted all day, most of the time, so rarely used the extra battery.
East to pick up and easy to post back from KIX (but there isn’t a post office anymore but there is a postbox in Lawsons on 2F)

Absolutely perfect service
Ordered the Monster plan for 28 days. Signal was always good, even in more out of the way places. Battery on the wifi unit was quite good, usually lasted 6-8 hrs before needing charge.
The delivery and return is well organised and thought out, was very easy.
Would absolutely use eConnect again.

A Pocket Rocket
Chose the Economy plan for 26 days on holiday, extensively used for Google Maps and a Route Transit app for rail travel plus keeping an eye on emails for home/work. It will get a little warm in its protective cover but never impedes function, only used the accompanying power bank once and was nowhere near the download limit when I returned it. Excellent value for money.

FAQ
How many days in advance should I place my order?
In general, the sooner, the better due to the limited number of products especially in high seasons.
If you can order at least 3 days in advance counting from your pickup date, all the pickup options will be available. If your order comes later than that, there might be some restrictions on airport pickup option.
Do you have any physical stores or booths?
Unfortunately, we currently operate online only and do not have any physical shops. But that's exactly why we can provide competitive prices.
I'm already in Japan, how soon can you deliver?
It depends on where you want it to be shipped to but we can normally have it delivered the next day if we can receive your order in the day time.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept credit cards, debit cards through gate io trading fees (a well-known, secure online payment platform).
VISA, MasterCard, American Express and other major cards are all accepted.
We also accept PayPal if it's the only payment option for you. Learn more about PayPal payment.
Do you ship overseas?
Currently, we do not ship overseas as international shipping is expensive and diverse. Also, it sometimes does not get delivered on schedule.
If you are looking for a Japan prepaid SIM card, we sell them on Amazon.com as well for customers in the U.S..
If I order now, when will my item be delivered?
We normally deliver orders 1 or 2 days before the pickup date you select, unless it's an urgent order. So the delivery date is based on your pickup date, not on your order date.
I'm not sure how much data I will need...
It would very much depend on the individual. We suggest that you monitor your daily data usage. There are many free data tracking, monitoring apps in the app store.
