argh...so jealous u all can stay in japan....

hopefully i can collect enuf money go there next year

Yeah bro, I never migrate from Malaysia to other country before, only holidays during winter in UK, US and Switzerland ...so I dunno the winter in Japan (Tokyo) same like the places I've went to..trying to 'sesuaikan diri' with the new weather here...

I will be going there study so will stay there for suite sometime..not for holiday thats why have to budget.. but i not sure if all phone from malaysia can be use in japan or not.. and also if buy in japan come back cannot use in malaysia like a bit waste.. so plz advice

Cool...keep save your money now!!!
Please come! then you'll see the real thingy here huhuhuhu

yea...lets pray i can have enuf

normally whats a good budget in ur opinion yea?

too eat n play

dude...hehehe study here? which uni?for how long?
mmm like that ka?
(I'm a Softbank user) oh ya forgot to info you...prepaid system here quit expensive and limited features..ok if you bring the phone from Malaysia, which sim you want to use Japan sime or Malaysia sim? you want to roaming here or what? In japan, prepaid means compulsory together with the phone..NO sim card only like Mlaysia...If you dont want use as prepaid then you can compulsory to buy the phone with the service provider (on contract basis either 1,2 or 3 yers) actually so many scenario to explain lol...i also dunno exactly how to explain..in my case I'm a 'nokian' before, so I dont like to use other than Nokia phone...so I bring my old N80i, my plan is just buy the contract phone then change it with Japan sim (as our phone in Malaysia mostly UnLock) and the new phone as a spare phone...so I did, yes its works with my N80i BUT as I said it wont works with SMS, MMS and 3G!!so no point if you cant use for that features. I ask the Softbank...they replied they dont have that setting for N80i they only have setting ONLY for their brand name! Softbank have latest Nokia ONLY N73 and N95..I dont like that model then..so moral of the stories my N80i have to send back to Malaysia and resell..more problem here...its damn hard to send the phone via post/courier service..even its your OWN 2nd hand phone. you need an AP to send to Malaysia...arggghhh..so the solutions is 'kirim' to someone who want to going back to Malaysia and pass it to the person you wanna hand over it. SUSAH kan? so fikir lah lagi...hehehe

huhu...nola...i scared i asked in wrong section cos when i clicked this thread i was didnt go see its what section....so kena do some fire prevention

ei..share more pictar la... i wana poison myself LOLZ

em..not really sure of that yet....cos this kinda place is kinda hard to travel by urself when communication is a problem

if u are super pro in japanese language then it will great

Yeah...that's why i must start learning Japanese now, understand their transportation system and identify the places to visit/landmarks

Ganbatte ne!
'NAK HIDUP SENANG DI JEPUN KENA LAH FASIH BAHASA JEPUN'
thats a simple motto!
Like me, quit susah one, nihon go not really good at all!

Haha arigato gozaimasu~

I guess i'll lurk here moar often to check out on the latest in Japan

so u mean if bring hp from malaysia to japan cant use many features also?? I plan to use a new line there since will be staying there for sometime if roaming really cannot afford..haha.. plan to get hp just for contacts with friends in japan... then u mean hp in japan not buy but contract 1?? means we have to pay every month then until one time have to give back the phone?? not like malaysia can buy hp then buy sim card can use forever just pay phone bill? any advice for students so i can budget?

the contact means, its together with the phone..so you pay monthly end of the contract the phone is yours! so far no special price for the student.

oic.. sounds cool..how much need to pay monthly?? izzit follow c wat model of the phone?? like dat if i want nokia N series need to pay the phone rent + the bill we use??any extra service charge?? how much u pay for yours and wat model u buy??

how long are u going to stay here? contracts are a 6months,1yr or 2yrs. longer the contract, the monthly bill will be cheaper. bill depends on phone models. im assuming u want softbank. it does have a student discount but doesnt really help out much. u can buy a phone without contract but its pricey.

I paid approx. 10,000en per mth.
yeah see what model you want, it will be the diff. price.
Actually not phone rent but likes installment for the phone (because after end of the contract the phone is yours)+ yeah of coz the monthly usage.
extra service charge not really sure..you can surf the softbank website...at least an infos for you right?
Nokia Nseries only N73 & N95.. I took the 0en package means the phone is FOC but till finish contract then the phone will be mine officialy ( As I said I'm a Nokian...goin to swap when Softbank got the latest Nseries hehehe) oh ya...example like my case..IF softbank come out with new Nseries that I want it, then I need to swap another agreement...means I have to pay both package till I finish the contract even I didnt use anymore the previous phone !!! 'ada berani?' heheehe..yeah me berani one , because i NOT suits with Japanese phone duhhh!

my bill is 1300yen a month.....
