grungy-gonads 54 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Is there much of a price difference now? Often wonder why people go with Softbank or au, when to me it seems Docomo is the best choice in terms of coverage and things. Link to post Share on other sites
BeerTengoku 35 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Basic Plan for AU for me is 780 yen Docomo is 980 I think? Link to post Share on other sites

Willcom is the best, cheap as chips AND you get free replacement string and cans!! Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I hear Willcom have had security problems with their smoke signals. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 they've sorted that glitch now......apparently they weren't using fire-retardant rugs to waft the smoke Link to post Share on other sites

hellyer 216 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I have a mate coming over to Japan for the first time & he does not have a smart phone. Does anyone know if a Nokia C5 phone will work? A few years ago my old 3g Nokia would not but are these newer ones better? I seem to recall it had to be 2100 megahurtz?

Error404 0 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I like the smartphones but they don't half gobble up battery energy quickly. Quite a few times I forget to charge overnight and end up with a dead phone. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I must agree. The way they eat up battery life really is annoying. I'd be fine with a slightly heavier phone if it gave me more. Link to post Share on other sites

BeerTengoku 35 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 The new AU phones - photoon andevod 3d - can both be used as wifi routers due to the WIMAX. Woohoo! Link to post Share on other sites

BeerTengoku 35 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 It means you can use it for your internet connection. Say your have some gadgets that are wifi only, say an iPod touch or iPad, you can use your phone as a router/modem for them to connect to, and voila, internet on them.
