Maybe a few texts back to the U.S. for friends. It’s mostly for navigating around the cities using Google maps. We have IPhone SE gen3.
Tokyo-Osaka-Kyoto-Hiroshima and day trips from those cities. We will have all hotel reservations & Shinkansen booked prior to leaving the U.S.
We’re really excited but honestly it’s approaching Sim/Esim/wifi overload. Maybe I’m making it a bigger deal than what it is. I’m a senior senior citizen and it’s confusing. I just want to walk off the plane, turn the phone on and presto it works and I’m navigating from A to B. Simplicity is what I’m looking for.
Any suggestions?
We just used what was included in our TMobile plan for free for our January trip and had no issues with navigation (of course we used wifi while at hotels).
