hi guys we are coming over from Australia to ski at xmas time and not sure what us tourists do regarding using our phone to call home etc. when reading up on it they say international roaming on your phone is very expensive and getting a sim card in japan is not the way to go cause you have to be a citizen I think?? can anyone offer some advice on what they have done as I am now very confused! thanks
