[IP] Rental of cell phone in Japan

[David Farber <dave@farber.net>]

I rented the SIM card at 109 yen /day. Incoming calls are free and  
outgoing are 100 JPY/min (cleaper than using t-mobile or any other  
USA roam.

BTW my cell is 090-9972-5397

ps now if I could figure out how to enable data on the plan.


From a friend:


I found some discussion on the web that related to your request.

Looks like there are two way to get SIM in official
route. One is just rental a SIM from the operator that would be about
100JPY/min.

The other is buy a contract with lowest price. Base price would be
980JPY/month.
