This is the first time you can travel in Hokkaido on your own. In addition to doing your homework on all Japanese attractions and transportation methods in advance, my most indispensable helper is international roaming and surfing the Internet!Using a smart phone, several APP software, and international roaming to surf the Internet, I can play with confidence when I go out! ^^
And I am a Chunghwa Telecom user, so I used its international roaming service before traveling abroad, but this time I used the "daily rental type international roaming Internet access". First, I will summarize the application methods and precautions for your reference!If there is something unclear, you can leave a message below to ask me!This time I traveled in Hokkaido. Although the geographical area is vast, the Internet signal in Japan is quite stable. Even when I turn on YouTube to watch video and audio content, it is very smooth.

Just pick up the mobile phone and enter the free shortcode "*135#" to enter the interactive menu to activate the roaming service.
There are also homophonic sounds to help memorize "*易 Internet#". Chunghwa Telecom’s international roaming is really intimate!
※ Reminder: You can go to Settings >> General >> Mobile Communication Usage to check network usage in your phone.

Anyone who knows me knows that I belong to a race that does not die in Congress.
