This is intended for short term visitors who I often see asking questions about prepaid data plans, wifi rental, wifi availability etc etc.
Note this is only about a prepaid data plan (no voice, but skype can be used on it).

The guide is intended for people who need access to emails, googlemaps, etc while outside of their hotel for the day. As I mention on the site, for most visitors this should be enough to get what they need done while outside of a hotel or business center's internet access. Also the reason I recommend the B-mobile 1G prepaid data version over others to visitors is because it's something you can walk into a Yodobashi or Bic Camera and purchase immediately, no need to navigate a Japanese website to order and input a Japanese address etc for delivery like the USIM 300 version.


Here's my guide on how to actually purchase and activate the B-Mobile 1G Prepaid data sim:

For those interested in reading more about the b-mobile sims (technical data etc etc) and other data sims this web blog covers them in great detail: Note that isn't my site, only the guide above is.
