end up being 750 somthing dollars.
ridiculous, i just bring my mylo with me and find a hotspot.
Another great Tip is
if you DO have a mylo or a skype phone (mylos like 250 skype phone is 100)
you can pretty much go into any wifi place and make a call..
i dont really have to say, that japan has tons of wifi areas.
esp in fast food places and star bucks.

Is it Japan that has tons of wifi places, or Tokyo? I never saw a Starbucks when I was in Japan, but I'm sure there are more now. But are they only in Tokyo or can you find tons of hotspots in smaller towns and cities too? Would the Mos Burger in some inaka town, for instance, theoretically also be wifi-equipped?
In my experience, when it comes to certain things like that, Tokyo sometimes follows 1 set of rules, the rest of Japan another. And if I ever return to Japan for a visit, it would be exclusively to the Kansai area, I probably would never set foot in Tokyo.
