Q: Do you know if you can use the emobile prepaid service with your "Huawei T-Mobile Sonic Hotspot (the E587)" device you bought? Specifically, the EM-チャージ (http://emobile.jp/service/emcharge.html)

Or have you tried using any SIM card from a Japanese provider? It seems like it should be that simple... just plug in the SIM and go. If you have any experiences or opinions, I'd love to hear about them.

Thanks,

Yes used emobile service fine with it, actually still carrying a SIM.

Though there is a new guy out their now reselling same service with easier ordering and ability to TOP up an expired or end of data SIM:
