What data speeds are people getting with the Sprint $5 add on Japan plan? One poster on Howardforums says they did not get above 500kb in Tokyo. That part would suck, but for $5 and unlimited everything else, it may the price we pay.
Does the $5/mo Japan plan add-on for Sprint still exist?
https://www.sprint.com/en/shop/servi...rnational.html still lists it. When I click on Add Service while looged into my Sprint account, lots of choices come up but there's no Japan plan at all, for any cost.
I've seen claims like
https://www.reddit.com/r/Sprint/comm...ing_plan_2018/ saying high speed data is now included. I started a chart with Sprint CSR and had to wait forever (over 20 minutes). Finally, someone is on but they seem totally clueless just regurgitating marketing BS including stuff about Mexico and Canada. I'm not going there. I'm going to Japan.
In the end, their answers were useless and I was redirected to chat w/an international service rep. Alas, they were closed.
