I use m1 data passport once during my first trip, back then only 10+2..The issue is need to conserve local data before trip unless it's big data plan.

Surprisingly the changireco orange mifi i rented recently has very good battery life. Morning around 7-8am go out until 8pm go back, still got juice to last another 2-3 hours..

The PB i bring along nv use at all..


most data plans should be decent now..

But since I travel with my wife and we don't walk off on our own plus iPad for my son during longer commute. I would still take the mifi at around 40 for the whole trip.. :s13:

The Changi recommends wifi router is good. Or else data passport is the way to go.

I actually got use Changi recommends for my trip to Japan as well, they cover Hokkaido as well! Totally my choice to go to when I travel, can share with friends and family and best of all; it's cheap!

For the changi Wifi, the data is unlimited. Will they throttle down the speed when hit certain limit?

It would take a lot to hit the daily limit for Changi WiFi. I had 3 devices connected to one, quite frequent transfers of photos (via WhatsApp), upload photos to FB now and then etc. By the end of the day my mom was even using it to watch YouTube on her mobile and it still didn't hit the limit.

However there was once (a couple of years back), i connected my laptop to Changi WiFi to do some work in the hotel. While waiting for my work emails to load, I absentmindedly opened chrome on laptop and loaded YouTube to play some songs in the background. The WiFi got throttled almost immediately and I had to switch to hotel WiFi... :s13:

So bottom line, on mobile you won't use too much data no matter what you do (unless you are torrenting 24/7). So you won't really hit the cap for Changi WiFi if you are using only mobiles. If you are looking to connect your laptop to it, then you'll need to be mindful of the websites that you are loading.

Anyone use Yogofi for Japan before? Any feedback? Very good price only $1.90 per day for Japan compare Changi WiFi $3 per day.
