We are going to Japan for 3 weeks in November and staying with SIL some of the time. One of the things that I am not too happy with is the fact she doesn't have wifi ( I know, I could hardly believe it myself), so I am looking for an alternative way to be able to go on-line, fast enough to watch films ( hopefully) but at least to be able to read the paper, AB, on-line banking and emails. Any ideas please ?
Thanks. Plenty info there zac. Yes wolf63, she is a generation or two too early. Mr.Sam will sort out any problems, but I will be a very good girl, we don't often see her, maybe just a few weeks a year, so can manage that, but can still have a moan here I hope !
Wolf63. I agree. Not all peeps have wi fi. Canot understand the jargon. The young ones think everybody knows. Diff world now. Over 30 an ur past it. God i could teach these young ones a thing or two. Cant say nothin these days.
If you're phone's not locked to a particular network you could buy a SIM to be used with a local service:

That would enable you to check on the news, etc but you'd not get enough data (without spending a fortune) to watch movies. Remember that you can use you phone as a hotspot to provide a wifi signal to other devices, so you could put a Japanese SIM in your phone but then view the internet on your iPad (or similar).
