1. Use Data Roaming (Daily Flat Rate) on my iPhone from Japan. It's about USD $30 a day, all you can eat.

2. Get a Data activated SIM for my unlocked Novatel 2372. (I will need IMEI and another pierce of data to have it work I believe).

Whats the current recommendation for this situation?

Really appreciate any new info.

What's your hotel (free wifi is the norm now, especially in the lobby)?

How long are you staying?

Will your stay include days in both May and June (this is important because Unicom plans are based on calendar months... but, are still far cheaper than $30/day in any case)?
