Hi, this is another very useful video, thanks!
I am somewhat "conflicted": is it better to purchase a data SIM or to rent a router? ) Especially if one is alone or max two people… having a router means another thing to care of, to recharge and to carry around…
Very detailed as Always. Thank you Mike!
Hello,
If I pick up the pocket wifi from Narita airport, can I drop it off at Haneda airport?
Thank you.
