Something I didn't realize is that the data-only SIMs don't require residency status. Tourists can get and use them too which is a pretty sweet deal really.

NTT began offering a VoIP softphone service from July 1st. The service is called 050Plus and is initially for the iPhone, but with planned expansion to Android and computers from early August. The terms are attractive, though this requires the download of a specialized app, which will reduce battery life.

Finally, the details of 050Plus VoIP. Either there are no initial or cancellation fees, of the information is well hidden.

Wouldn't make alot of sense for Docomo to block an NTT app, they pretty much are NTT.
FG Lurker wrote:Perhaps you have to opt in to the service as it is not free? Quite the scam, charging for SMS when sending an email 10x or even 1000x longer would be free.
SMS is free between Softbank users. It will cost 3.15 yen to send to other carriers, and nothing to receive.chokonen888 wrote:Yeah, charging a party for SMS when you both have flat rate plans is a fucking insult. 3.15 yen a SMS shouldn't break anyone's bank but still, lame as fuck.

No probs.
Softbank, Japan's third-largest mobile carrier and exclusive purveyor of the Apple iPhone in the country, said Thursday it would launch in November a new data network allowing downloads of up to 110 Mbps (megabits per second), faster than many wired connections provide today.
The new "Softbank 4G" network will initially be available via portable modems that create small wireless networks for computers and other devices, with the company aiming to have the country's main populations centers covered by April 2013. It will be compatible with a growing Chinese standard that media reports say Apple will support, meaning that future iPhones on Softbank's network could have access to the blazing download speeds.
"As cloud computing comes into practice, one thing we cannot fail to achieve is high speeds for mobile Internet, " said Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son, speaking to reporters and industry representatives at an event in central Tokyo. "This network will have among the fastest speeds available, even globally."
Softbank will begin by offering a soap-bar-sized modem that can provide downloads of up to 76 Mbps and provide a wireless connection for up to 10 devices, which will go on sale in February. The device will switch to Softbank's existing data networks when not in range of the new system.
The network, which offers uploads at up to 15 Mbps, will be based on a format called AXGP, an advanced version of an older Japanese standard, Personal Handy-phone System (PHS). Softbank said it is "highly compatible" with TD-LTE, a Chinese standard also know as as LTE TDD, which is growing in popularity throughout Asia. Media reports have said Apple is committed to supporting the standard in future devices....
SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son is visiting the U.S. this week to tell Washington how the U.S. can learn from Japan’s example to improve its mobile broadband infrastructure.
