ASCII.jp In an era when remote work is required, consider mobile lines that can be secured immediately

Due to the new colon virus, demand for remote work such as home work is growing.If you stay at home, an Internet line is indispensable to avoid going to a place where people are as crowded as possible.However, there are cases where a fixed line is not drawn at home, or a line is needed immediately to work elsewhere.

Consider a case where a remote work instructions entered and a line was needed immediately.Cheap SIMs are relatively easy to contract, but there are also elements such as line speed and separate terminals.

First of all, the best thing changes depending on what to use and how to use it.

There are various lines required for remote work.PCs will be the main way to do remote work, but the tethering of a smartphone will be the first choice.If the amount of smartphone you usually use increases, the problem is often solved.

Also, it is often more convenient to start using a new mobile router instead of tethering.With a mobile router, it is easy to use with multiple people, and the owner of the smartphone, like tethering, just removes the terminal in his hand, and the left behind will not be able to use the line.

Furthermore, due to the recent rapid shift to the cloud, the work on the PC has unexpectedly increasing the amount of communication, and it is possible that if you start working in earnest, you will not be sufficient at once.

On the other hand, I don't know when this problem will converge.There may be both the possibility that it will be prolonged in the future and the convergence due to seasonal fluctuations.Even if it is prolonged, it may not be necessary for the company to provide a mobile router, such as providing an environment.

If so, basically a large capacity that can be used immediately and easy to stop is suitable.

You can change your smartphone plan and increase the communication volume, but even if you switch, it will switch from the following month.Additional charge is expensive, so if you need a large capacity right now, it is an advantageous solution to sign a new line.

If you use ESIM for recent iPhones and iPads, you can increase the capacity now

If you need it right now and without going to the store, you need to sign up for data communication with ESIM.The ESIM that can be used normally in Japan is IIJMIO's "ESIM Plan" for 6GB per month (hereinafter all excluded tax).It can be used on some Windows machines, such as the latest and one generation ago and the latest iPhone / iPad, pixel 4, and the latest Surface, and can be used immediately if you apply online.

One generation ago iPhone / iPad is equipped with ESIM, and the contract is easy.At the moment, the choice is almost the choice of IIJmio

Unfortunately, the campaign has ended, and the initial cost is now 3200 yen, and the data capacity when joining in the middle of the month is a daily discount from the IIJmio fee system.If you contract at this time, the communication volume of the month will be 2GB or less, so it may not be suitable for those who want a large capacity right now (if you sign up for "3100 yen a month 20GB",20GB can be added from the day).

If you use a mobile router, is it an advantageous resale -capacity plan for mixed cobblestones!?

Next, how to use a mobile router.For those who need a line right now, there is a rental mobile router of about 4000 yen per month without a monthly or 100GB per month with TV commercials and online advertisements.It is a service that is often named "XX Wi-Fi".

Each company has a variety of services and use networks, and the contents can be resold the SoftBank line, and it can be used both in Japan and overseas, and all three carriers can use.

It is convenient to use large capacity at a relatively low price, and to set up a mobile router, but the problem is the contract period.Although not all, it is not suitable for short -term use because it is a two -year contract and some penalties cost if canceled in a short period of time.In addition, there are some that can not be used with SIM alone, assuming that the set of mobile routers in the set.

However, since the service is really various, some of them are OK for short -term use without penalty and only SIMs.And because there is a problem with the most important line quality, it is necessary to carefully examine the reputation in advance and choose the one that suits the usage scene.
