Kumapix 0 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 So I'm thinking of switching cell phone companies and I'm just wondering if you guys in the big cities have gotten any crazy deals. I had a friend come over a couple of years ago and he was given the newest docomo phone for free just for signing up. Here in the sticks, deals seem harder to come by. My whole family will be switching so 5 phones total. If I was a cell phone hawker I'd throw anything in I could to make the deal....but I'm not the cell phone guy and such capitalistic thinking doesn't do much sometimes in this country. SO basically, I'm just wondering if in Tokyo, Osaka, etc the competition is fiercer and there are great deals to be had? Link to post Share on other sites

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 and here I was thinking kuma was still using a beeper...? My new phone just cost me a good bit even using up all my points that I had saved up. I also got insurance taken out on the damn thing. Figured this phone costs so much I might as well be on the safe side. My monthly bill was cut in half though so thats a good thing - Docomo at least now uses lube before raping me.

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 usually when to change over, they won't charge you for the phone, althought it may depend on your deal. Bic Camera has some good deals Link to post Share on other sites

charlotte 0 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I have the Docomoo P905i. I had to change suddenly when my other one died and seeing as though the monthly has gone down I got this one. It's quite big but really nice. Link to post Share on other sites

In my old office the softbank users were always complaining they couldnt get signal. docomo just spent 10 billion on a new logo - need an image change it seems.... p.s Sharp (SH) makes the best handsets in the docomo line-up.
