I'm using handphone. The website seems horrible on iOS. Hardly can read white on white background. No explain what difference is express and Galaxy and can't choose two MIFI.
I need two MIFI for 10 person in June 6-10. How much will it cost?

Hi zippy.
Check your PM, I'm quite puzzled too. I don't use white text anywhere on the site.
Thanks for the feedback. Will improve it !
For bookings in June, right now you will get the maximum tier of early bird discounts.
Starlight express: $45 +$7 for courier delivery for both
Starlight galaxy: $60 +$7 for courier delivery

Good morning all,
Due to upcoming changes for our operations in march, we are unable to offer you pick up service.
In order to serve you better, all bookings will be via round trip courier. This will cost an additional $7 for pickup and delivery.
This will apply on all pricematch promotional offers for the month of march, and for all other bookings from the month of April
Sorry for the last minute changes.

Review for Stars87 Japan Data Sim Card Service
I seldom do review/reply but the service provided by Stars87 for this data sim card was excellent. Hence, i would like share with other forum people about my experience and for your consideration.
Cards used: 2 nano sim cards, 2gb at $20 each. With $50 deposit for the sim card (to be refunded at the end if i didnt exceed the the 2gb each).
A) Notification to request for the simcard
This requires a bit of patience because i think using the website too book was a bit confusing. But in the end, we managed to tie down the details and i was provided 2 nano sim card for iOS.
B) Delivery
We met at nearby mrt station, seller was very accommodating to request for delivery even though it was 3 days before the CNY period before i flew off.
C) Setting up of APN for phone
Stars87 assisted to help to set up the APN for my iphone before using it. Now, as you maybe aware that setting up the APN can be quite tricky. He assisted to walk through the steps in case i couldnt use it when I am in Japan. He also constantly check if the set up is okay or not. This is good because it can be quite frustrating in the event you do not have internet connections when in foreign land.
D) Data Usage
He also show me data left by the previous user so that we are both clear of the condition of the transaction. I think this is really of good integrity and even told me the amount i can use. He also shown me the amount i used at the end of my trip before proceeding to refund me the deposit.
E) Connection and reception
It is using NTT Docomo. The reception was excellent except at undergound tunnel along Tohoku shinkansen line. Before that Stars87, assisted me to check on if the areas where i will visiting will be off connection.
Places where i used the sim card:
- Nikko including Chuzenjiko
- Geibikei, Ichinoseki
- Sendai city
- Hirosaki
- Aomori
-Hachinohe
-Tawadako
-Tokyo (including Odaiba area).
I have connections at all these areas. And speed was fast too. No problem with whatsapp Call, facebook, internet, emails, google maps, youtube (fast!).
Price
This could be a huge consideration for a lot of people. As i have used various providers in Japan, this being my first time using a local provider, i would say it is good price.
I paid $20 for 2gb worth of data for each sim card.
In the past, typically, I would use for providers like Bmobile , I would pay 3780yen for 14 days but the speed is slow. I tried this in 2012/13.
In 2014, I used e-connect, it was good speed but i paid 1GB for 3480yen. But 1GB is limited if i post a lot of pictures or surf a lot on the go such as maps etc.
Then late 2014 to 2015, i switched to CDJapan data where for 110mb a day for 10 days, i would need to pay 2300yen plus 500 yen for shipping. This is possibly the best rates i can find.
Hence for the first time, i decided to try this service by Stars87, i would say for $20 at 2gb, it is easily the best deal. If i use more, i would pay slightly more for every 1gb block.
Recommendation
I would definitely recommendation this. The past 8th trips to japan, i have been relying on few providers but mainly CDJapan data sim card. But i would say this service by Stars87 really rocks. Highly recommended if you can get the period you need.

Excellent rental service from Justin.
Initially I reserve a unit from him without any discount. However during the pick up, he was really honest and told me about the promotion he is having currently and gave me the discounted price right away.
Unit works great. Able to cover 80% of the area while I was in Hokkaido. Speed is good and battery life is excellent.
Will definitely recommend his service. Thumbs up for Star mifi.
