There is an era where 5G can be used easily overseas
The spread of 5G services around the world is progressing, but the global WiFi, which offers a mobile router rental service in Japan, has finally started rental of 5G routers for overseas.First, for the United States and Hawaii.The fee is 2970 yen (early division) or 3170 yen per day.Although it costs about 15,000 yen for a week of stay, Gigabit's high -speed communication can be used in the United States.

The 5G router to be provided is Inseego's "MIFI M2100".Many people may remember that Inseego is a famous company for communication modems, when I heard that INSEEGO was old.The MIFI M2100 is provided for Verizon in the United States, so the local line is probably Verizon.
Overseas, 5G services with prepaid SIM cards have also begun, so you can buy a 5g prepaid SIM card for about 1500 yen in Hong Kong where you live.Please use this article for your experience (a prepaid SIM that can use 5G is finally released in Hong Kong, starts at about 1500 yen.
In Taiwan, sales of 5G prepaid SIM cards for travelers have also begun.Taiwan has a career counter at the airport, and has the advantage of buying a prepaid SIM card immediately after arrival.The 5g prepaid SIM card for travelers in Taiwanese mobile is unlimited, 500 Taiwan (about 2,000 yen) for 3 days, 600 Taiwan (about 2400 yen) for 5 days, and 800 Taiwan (about 31,000 yen) for 7 days.When used in tethering, it is up to 3GB, 5GB, and 7GB, respectively, but the price is quite cheap.

The day you can travel abroad will not come for a while, but if you can't travel for this long, many people may want to go abroad first.In such a case, it is essential to arrange local communication lines so that you can use smartphones freely locally.Now, even if you take Japanese smartphones overseas, you can use local communication lines relatively inexpensive.DOCOMO's AHAMO can use 20GB contained in the basic fee overseas.

Nevertheless, the roaming area that can use faster 5G locally has not yet spread.Softbank has started 5G roaming in Korea.In addition, 5G also has a fast communication speed and increases the amount of data used.YouTube videos can always be watched in high quality, and when you do a speed test, you consume around 1GB per time.Even if 5G can be used overseas using Ahamo, it seems that it will disappear quickly with 20GB.
In this way, even if you take out a Japanese smartphone overseas as it is, you may not be able to use 5G, and even if you can use it, you may use up the data in no time.In that case, it is a good idea to buy a 5G prepaid SIM card locally, but this time you will need a 5G smartphone that supports the 5G communication method in the field.This is the same when taking Japanese smartphones overseas.
The current 5G is an NSA method that uses 4G as an anchor band, so 5G communication is actually performed with "5G NR + 4G LTE".If the combination of the frequency does not match, you will not be able to gras 5g locally.In the early days of 5G, it is not known whether your 5G smartphone can actually be used overseas.
Now that the spread of 5g has begun, it may be certain that if you want to use 5g overseas, you can rent a mobile router that uses local lines.Global WiFi will provide 5G router rentals in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea following the United States.

Or, even more, it might be nice to buy a 5G smartphone locally.For example, Xiaomi stores are located around the world, and 5G smartphones are also sold at low cost.In Hong Kong, "REDMI Note 10 5g" is sold for 1599 Hong Kong dollars (about 23,000 yen).If you are a locally sold 5G smartphone, you can ensure that you can use a local prepaid SIM and use the local 5G line.

In any case, it will still take some time for the day to go abroad.That may be next year, but at that time it would be easier to use 5G overseas.
