Posted in: Japan's old flip-phones soldier on while smartphones shrink See in context
There is also a "made in Japan" variant to this problem. Use a flip phone AND a smart phone! Japan has plenty of data-only sim plans - most subcontract off NTT. You stick the data-sim in an android machine or old iphone and you get 2Gb/month for appx $30 (Y3000). Along with pay-as-you-go on a flip phone for $20-30month, you get all the benefits of old faithful, plus lIne, skype, etc. Of course, I only visit for a month each year, so I couldn't get a data plan with a phone number anyway - unless I paid for a sky-high tourist plan sim. Shout out to Asahi Net for a good rate on the data plan

Fighting over what imaginary friends claim to say or want doesn't seem very bright.
