Today I got fitted with a ball and chain.
That's right, I purchased a cell phone with a 1 year service contract. It is my first phone and yet another addition to the list of monthly bills.
The phone itself is pretty neat, it has internet access, email, text-messaging(very necessary here and much cheaper than actual calls), a built in English/Japanese dictionary, a 1.6 megapixel still/video camera, an SD card slot and a built in MP3 player. I got it for free with the plan because it's old and doesn't have any of the cool modern features.
I signed for the lowest price budget plan which means that after a 50% student discount I get a $24 bill and 10 free minutes every month. It's the best deal in Japan by a long shot.

10 min a month? Wow, that's like one conversation. Hopefully, you won't need to talk to a lot of friends there. Guess this is where being of the male gender does have its advantages and that is not a need to talk long:o)
Text messaging is less then talking? Wow.
SWEET PHONE DUDE!!!
That's old... without all the new gadgets?

That's insane!!!
Just remember, an old and crappy Japanese cell phone should be released as a new model in the US pretty soon. Very few phones come with a camera better than a megapixel, or SD slot, or mp3 player. Never seen one with the dictionary though.

10 free minutes???
That's like 10 phone calls! Why would you need to talk on the cell so many times a month!!!
