「石川温のスマホ業界新聞」バックナンバーThe Apple SIM has worked with a telecommunications company called Gigsky.As a result, communication has been performed in more than 90 countries and regions.For example, if you bring iPad Air 2 to Germany, you can do 3GB communication for 6000 yen.
By the way, Apple SIM can be purchased alone at the Apple Store without purchasing an iPad.In fact, I paid $ 5 at the Apple Store in Hawaii in December 2014.It seems that it can now be purchased in 10 countries around the world (Japan is not eligible).
If you are traveling and traveling frequently abroad, isn't the combination of Apple SIM and iPad quite convenient?You can use it as an iPad alone or connect your smartphone or computer with tethering.Unfortunately, it is only 3G communication, and it seems that LTE is not compatible, but it is still encouraging to arrive at the site and use the Internet immediately.
However, recently, new movements are beginning to appear in realizing an overseas communication environment.
例えば、au版のiPhoneは、アメリカであれば、AT&TやKDDIの子会社であるH2OWirelessのSIMカードが使える「限定的SIMロックフリー」になっている。
Since the phone to au cannot be transferred to a local career, transfer the au phone to the IP phone or bring the au version iPhone that was used in the past, and have two cars for communication only with local SIM cards.It is necessary to devise the other by roaming the other by roaming the other.
Nevertheless, au users will be worth trying because they can get a much cheaper communication environment locally.
Kay Opticom plans to collaborate with Cuvic Telecom in Ireland in September to provide prepaid data SIM cards that can be used in about 200 countries and regions.
Until now, "smartphone roaming service" or "rent a router at the airport" was a standard, but since this summer, various options have come out, so the communication environment overseas is even more comfortable.It is going to be something.
