"I was doing that for a while because I had that plan that ramped up starting at 1,000 yen. But if you are paying the flat-rate plan it won't help.
I don't use even 100 MB of data transfer a month, so it seems wasteful. But I'd…"

"While it's not possible to cut your monthly data charge to zero, the so-called Standard Plan allows you to pay a minimum of 1.029 per month if you only use a small amount of data. If you turn your cellular data off all together (in the network…"

I was under the presumption that you are paying 4200 yen/month for all you can eat- regardless of whether you actually use data or…"

"Well, I'm not holding my breath. The tethering option has been built in to the iOS for almost two years, yet Softbank has refused to offer it.
If Softbank offered better service (and didn't intentionally cripple data transfer speeds…"

"Softbank hasn't announced if they will support this in the future or not and if it will be available by paying a tethering fee such as the fees paid to the iPhone carriers in the US. I'm just saying that Softbank isn't the only…"

"Softbank really does suck. First they crippled download transfer rates. Now they deny the mobile hotspot feature that the rest of the world is getting. I turned off the cellular data service on my iPhone 3 months ago. Hardly miss it at all, and…"

"I don't know yet but in another thread here I read a couple days ago that personal hotspot won't be available from Softbank. Still downloading myself."

iOS 4.3 Japan
iOS 4.3 is not available for upgrade in iTunes. If you haven't already upgraded iTunes to version 10.2.1 (note: 10.2.1 was only released yesterday), do that first then check for the upgrade of iOS 4.3.

If you have more info on this including which of the four that are offered are better and why, please contribute your…See More

"Oh- and a general note-
Of the three different types...
In general,
WAON is useful if you shop at Jusco/Aeon/MaxValue/MiniStop
NANACO is useful for ItoYokado/7-11
EDY is useful for Matsumoto Kiyoshi and various other…"

"You don't need a credit card- they have the stickers in plentiful supply at all Yodobashi stores now. As for which is best, it would depend on where you do most of your shopping.
