Quote from a forum...

"I'm afraid your plan won't work. The reason is that Japanese prepaid phones (as most of the Japanese mobile phones) do not have an (U)SIM card. This means that the phone number is bound to the mobile phone that you buy and cannot be transferred to another phone.

The second thing is that it might be not so easy as you believe to buy a prepaied phone without a residence permit (alien card). Officialy (by law) the users of prepaid mobile phones must be registered. This means that you have to declare your residence address in Japan. Usually this is handled by asking to show your alien card.

As far as I know, in most shops (Vodafone and AU) if you are a tourist and don't have an alien card it is not possible to buy a prepaied phone (but note that before the registration duty this was different, so I guess what you have read in other forums is now out of date).

Maybe you might still find places where you get a prepaid phone just showing your passport, but keep in mind that (as far as I know) this is not legal."

This post was dated back in 2007, does is still applies now?
If we wan2 use their prepaid sim, hav to buy 2gether with the phone?

how about the rental ones, how does it works?

My fren was told by a phone shop staff... that it is cheaper to call back to malaysia/within japan using japanese prepaid sim... how true is that?

I just want to know the most convenient, and if possible cheaper way of communicating [phone] within japan and also back to msia... so far, i know got 2 options...

1] use malaysian 3g phone and 3g sim
2] use japan's 3g sim (but still quite blur about this)

pros and cons? help? tq in advance

wa, keii-kun. so good ar, ur wife also gundam kaki?

Sis..
pro and cons is...you have a lots of money then you can buy a phone in Japan instead, (ada duit semua boleh buat)yeah its legal now worries, janji you ada duit!

Others is just use 3G from Malaysia..(kalau tak mampu la)just adapt it, so many other things more important.

see ya!

oh..just wan2 confirm this one, there is no way we can just buy a japanese prepaid card without buying their phone?

issit? im in klia now...huhu... my flight to kl soooo early, flight to japan is at 11pm++....-.-"

Apasal waifu's gundam you are the one assembling ?

My Gundam 00 raiser, siap kepala and chest only

Pasal Odaiba oso geram, i went all the way there but ntg much to see; just Pallete Town, Toyota Mega Web and Marine Park beach worth visiting. Itu pun 3 hours can get it done. In the end, i felt that staying at Sawanoya Ryokan was a bad idea, it's damn far from Ueno station.

juz curious...tokyo got petshop ka? hoho

Added on April 11, 2009, 4:30 pmwaifu is interested with gundam for quite sometime but yet to own one cos she wanted the Endless Waltz deathscythe one. Could not find it here somehow. Me assembling the gundam with all my love

for me, Toyota Mega Web ok la, tried the electric car, Japan GT car racing simulator, Fuji Speedway cinema simulation (damn shiok!). The merry go round was bigger than yokohama's!

Sawanoya was a bad idea? there's always next trip for better place.

you know what, your posts are starting to resemble a certain f4te....

can get sim card without phone but i used identification. not sure they'll allow for tourists o not

of course got....but the price la
went to one in odaiba/venus fort

some puppy prices = JPY100K (shiba inu?)
kitten JPY55K

which my friend told me that the most expensive puppy in KL only around RM2k

anyway, bringing your 3g phone + prepaid is the easiest (to avoid overusage). for me, no roaming and using time gold/italk to call back msia.
used public phone to call tanoshi n psychzz (which i always did not put enuff coins )

huahahaa...
Musha...see what my bro wrote here!
Sis Mochi...careful with the Q huahahaha!..

selamat datang ke Jepun!
