WiFi is an international standard, so yes.

 

Obviously most (if not all) local wireless hotspots will have their landing page text, sign-up procedure and terms & conditions in Japanese, which may be an obstacle to actually using them.

Hi @Haleyj  it will be very expensive to use your sky sim in Japan. You could buy a local one and use it when there or you could just try and rely on free WiFi, depends what you plan on doing there ?





If someone has helped give them a thumbs up.

If their answer solved your issue mark it as the correct answer.

I won’t respond to direct messages so please post any problems on the forum.
