Why Travel Insiders Are Ditching Wi-Fi Routers for Ahamo Mobile Carriers

Overseas Roaming = Expensive – Wi-Fi routers and local SIMs are becoming a thing of the past.

Before introducing ahamo, the author used to buy SIMs at local airports. However, it often took a long time to get online, and it took more than an hour at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France, and Vodafone in Egypt. When we rented a Wi-Fi router in Korea, the router was still large and heavy at the time, and charging the battery at night at the hotel each day was also a hassle. While renting, you also have to watch out for theft and loss.

Upon arriving at overseas airports, there used to be numerous shops selling SIM cards, especially in Asia. However, this has recently decreased, and even if they exist, there are fewer customers compared to before.

The overseas roaming offered by major mobile carriers costs around 980 yen per day, and it adds up for the duration of your stay, making it still quite expensive. However, with the emergence of cost-effective services like ahamo, the notion that overseas roaming equals expensive is becoming a thing of the past. Since ahamo, even the style of overseas travel has changed.

Having an internet connection while traveling abroad has become indispensable. To save on travel expenses, it’s wise to choose a mobile carrier carefully.
