That's not so bad. I have a prepaid tuka phone a resident got for me, and it is 10 yen / 6 seconds...roughly a dollar a minute, although incoming is free. No bargain. And you can only put credit on it if you are in Japan, so I have to keep mailing it to my friend, when I am not there for some time, to put another 3000 yen into it. A pain. Agree with your statement that many goods are cheaper in USA. I buy in Japan when I must have bleeding edge...you see cool stuff there, and it may or may not ever come west. If it does, it will be cheaper, for sure. It is always a good souvenir, anyway! Mike Hodish
