If you have the ivideo Wi-Fi that you rented earlier,
Because you can use your smartphone with the same feeling as when you're in Japan, even when you're overseas.
Using translation apps, launching Google Maps, and having a consistently stable internet connection.So that's a huge help!
It's very simple to use, so anyone can easily connect it!

In the case of an international airport,Free WiFiThey are often seen flying around,
It is generally said that connecting to free Wi-Fi overseas may carry risks.
Not everything is dangerous, but basically, when you connect to the internet,
Information (logs) will remain on the connection line.
Furthermore, information can be retrieved from devices connected to the same network.
In other words, everything you do on your smartphone becomes completely transparent.
In the case of free Wi-Fi without a lock, an unspecified number of people connect simultaneously,
This means the risk will increase.
絶対に接続してはいけないというわけではありませんが、
せめて、接続中は、ログインや個人情報入力などはやめた方が良いでしょう!
