Nice! Let me go ask Verizon how much they will charge me for calls and text messaging when in Japan. If it's fair, I will end up taking this phone off you're hands.

Just did some research on the net..and this phone does work in Japan. The phone latches onto Softbanks network...since Vodafone is no more. If i can get away w/ using texting only w/ cheap rates...you sir, have yourself a deal :)

Usually what I do when I travel to the Philippines, I buy a prepaid sim card locally and use that while I am there. I am not sure what the rates are in Japan, but in the Philippines, its super cheap per text.

So i went to Verizon today and told them the situation.
I have to buy an international plan...then pay the roaming charges on top of that...or whatever SoftBank will charge me for calling local and texting. I think that will become costly for me. The guy said for three weeks, I'm looking at paying $115! on top of the monthly fees..O_O I'm sorry, I have to pass up on this, I will be contacting my friends to meet up at different train stations there...and the pay phones there dont work half of the time~ Prepaid phone cost there is $80. and the card is included. In Japan its cheaper to text than to call. The prepaid card doesnt drain as much when only texting... |
