Cellphones/ Mobiles
By Martin Pfohl on Thursday, March 18, 2004 - 3:27 am: Minnasan Konnichiha! A friend of mine has told me it is possible to buy a basic kind of keitai at places such as 7-11 or Lawson. I think it works like our Tracfone system and you buy a card for airtime. Does anyone know more about this? Thanks! MP
By Penny Poe on Thursday, March 18, 2004 - 9:20 am: It's basically the same as a tracfone (I have one in the U.S.). It's called a pre-paid cell phone. I bought mine at the Vodaphone shop because I wanted an English phone. I think it was about 13,000 because I opted for email and camera abilities. You can buy a pre-paid card at a convenience store and they last for two months. Cards come in various increments.
