Cell phone rental - phone models
We currently use Samsung phones , operating on the Softbank (formerly Vodafone) network.
They have an English menu and come with our simplified operating instructions, covering the basic phone features on one sheet of paper.
They can be used all over Japan to make/ receive both domestic and international calls , and can also be used to send/ receive e-mail (the e-mail address is linked to the phone number).
