roaming wud be okay i guess but do check the rates. i think sms would be the best way to communicate with ppl back home.

its about 1 hr from tokyo to chitose.

hokkaido-other than tht ive mentioned, SEAFOOD. sushi. the ikura(roe),uni(sea urchin) are must tries as well as crabs. better u eat suhi in hokkaido than tokyo.

Some questions again =)

1) is it true that only 3G phone will be able to roam in Japan and older model with GSM cannot roam?

2) are the phones in Japan generally cheaper than Malaysia? is it advisable to get one there?

yes, if im not mistaken u must be using a 3g phone to roam here. i dont think there's a gsm network here.

2) are the phones in Japan cheaper than Malaysia? is it advisable to get one there?

not exactly. phones are heavily subsidized through contracts but u cant buy those as ure not staying here and its usually locked to the network. phones without contracts cost roughly the same.

Have you called the hotels and checked if they have internet connections?

For me before I go anywhere oversea, getting places with Internet connections would be one of my top priorities laugh.gif

1- YES muz used at least 3G phone (my experience)

2- Not really unless the 2nd hand yes its damn cheap, BUT its lucky IF you find one (example: Nokia N73 used in good condition I got it for 10,000yen lebe kurang RM320 kot?)

advise to get one? mmm hmm.gif try to compare with Iphone 1st..serach for the price in Japan and Malaysia...what I know !phone the small Gb its bout 80k yen (if I not mistaken) last month did ask in Softbank...

IF you asking for Prepaid Softbank, really hard to find in Japan now..but my fren selling it brand new 25,000yen (www.tokyobaldhead.fotopages.com) if you wanna see the pics. Its plug and play I think...

Japan phone is LOCKed phone...its lucky then IF you can use with M'sia sim card then..

cheers thumbup.gif
