I am going to Japan this April - May for 18 days and would like to know if anyone had use the $5/day roaming with Vodafone before?
Any problem with it? Hubby will use his daily and I will only use mine when we are separated.
The rest of the time I will just mooch off his phone .
have used it in Japan, It is great and just uses your normal monthly data allowance like you would in AUS, and will come up as additional roaming charges at $5 per day you use any data overseas. It's prob one of the best value if you are using it for only a few days.
Most other carriers start at least $10 per day and the data allowance may be very small in comparison.
Hi, I used it when I went recently
It works well, but they used roaming from one of the smaller telcos and I was only able to get H+ (3G+) and not 4G.
We ended up using the pocket wifi devices at our Airbnb's instead.
SIMs are cheap enough that I would get one there and have 4G instead.
I used it within Europe, but not worth to use it in Japan.
For Japan I use 21 day data sim and activate it via local account from Japan and use Skype account to make phone calls.
For Vodafone $5/day roaming
Soon as you make a call, send or receive message you get charge for the day and you are limited for data limit set in your plan.

Which data SIM do you use in Japan? I was mostly just standing outside 7-11s using their free WiFi last time ;)
It was while back, use B-Mobile, but I had issues finding person with Japanese sim to activate my account for 21 day data plan. Bet there are better data plans for 18 days with simplified activation.
Thanks. Looks like I can pick one up at Yodobashi or Bic Camera. I usually stay around Ueno/Akihabara so too easy ;)
For that length of time you'd be better off buying a local sim or renting a portable wifi.

WHY!? Thats like $90 for him, and say $30 for you?
For $120, you can get a local sim each or a pocket wifi each to use.
Used in US and worked well
I use it travelling all the time for work and works perfectly.
I have used it heaps of countries. Best ive ever got is 3G coverage.
I've used it heaps, managed to get 4G in Spain, France and Italy, 3G in Papua New Guinea (was expected).
Worked seamlessly, only issue was I had it activated during a Dubai stopover and that wasn't one of the included countries :/
I'm going to Singapore for a week later in the year and will probably do the same there too.
Not personally but I have friends say it worked as supposed to.
