-Thats my usage monthly lol! hehehe..I'm not into talks thru da phone only Smail and internet connection..some more I have family plan..so its cheaper!hehehe..
-the phone installment I cant rememebr lol..sowi dude..buts its cheap..
-normally student will take a 2 years contract so monthly they will pay cheaper..wah which Uni. are you coming dude?
in Tokyo? are you Chinese?
-its hard to say..make it clear for you...I'm not the hard user of handphone...so you need to be here 1st and depend who you goin to connected with...most people here using Smail (sort like SMS email lol) because on the train you cant make a call, its rude ONLY texts!!! so we are busy on train daily and always on silent mode..here not like Malaysia got so many funky music of ringtones..huahaha!
-service charge depend on what plan do you take...

dude...in TOKYO everything Xpensive one hehehe ..so IF you are kuat makan then, train yourself to cool down hehehe..kena jimat sikit di Jepun lor hahaha

im not sure going which uni yet..probably hokkaido...10 000 yen and u say cheap?? too expensive for me ler.. yup im chinese..maybe when i confirmed everything then ask u again about the life there so u can help me..hehe.. hopefully the cost for phone per month can be 10k yen and below.. if 5k yen then better

wow, Hokkaido..COLD place hihihi...10k yen may b reasonable in Tokyo...u r Chinese then sure a lots of interesting food all you can eat hehehe!
Will help as i can no prob....here bout the Mobile phone like Mlaysia too, so far i know is AU, NTT Docomo and softbank..so you can choose...start surfing their website from now...study a bit bout their plan..polish your nihon go is the important part to be here..good luck ok!

Anyone in japan check out the street racing/wangan scene over there??

Sorry dude..I left in Malaysia...now 'cuci tangan' hehehe cheers!

10,000yen a month is expensive no matter how u see it. softbank's white plan is only 980yen a month. get a free phone(i.e minimum charge of 980yen, mine was a samsung) add 300yen for internet connection/emailing. and maybe 500yen for misc calls. with a white plan, msging to softbank users are free and calling to softbank users are also free from 1am-9pm. my phone bill ends up to abt 1500 monthly..4000yen if im overseas roaming.

and i dont think everything in tokyo is expensive, it's how u look for cheap things only...

yeah bro..very good infos for CooKiE may be!
mmm..I always look on cheap things, you are right! hehehe..so I can save for other thingy hehehe

i check softbank website..so many plan i also pening.. and i dun c any plan with free mobile phone.. also the plan also so complicated..lol.. if 1 2 budget use prepaid better than postpaid?

Not recommend u to use prepaid if you are quit long in Japan then...use with the contarct..
you have to be here, to see the exact model or design, softbank always updated the the prices and the model, some of the outlet may be got few and some may be got more models to choose. ...cheers

the phone models looks like their own brand..not sony ericsson or nokia or whatever.. dunno if softbank's phone good quality or not..haha

its not their own brand.. technically is just rebadged from sony/samsung/nokia/panasonic/sharp/toshiba etc...

prices of phones vary from areas.

wow, 10k yen/month for phone bill?? that's like more than 10x of what im paying monthly. okay, im not a heavy phone user, mostly sms. im also using softbank with white plan. but initially had to pay like 30k for the phone but then they deduct 1k yen off my bill for 3 years.

HEHEHE 10k yen its normal usage...what to do?
