Cell Phone Question

[Kris Black]

Hello, All!

After reading more than a few reviews here, I've decided to try an establishment or two here in Tokyo (namely Hipness and Thai Maid). My problem is that they seem to demand that reservations be made over the phone. I've lived here for a few years now and speak the language, but due to my reclusiveness, I have had little need or want of a phone. Is there any way to manage things without a phone, or must I bite the bullet? Follow-up question, does anyone know what such calls would come up as on a phone bill for, say, a pre-paid phone?

Thanks!

There is no bill for a pre-paid phone...because you have already paid for the minutes of time used. Or am I misunderstanding something about your question?

I see. No, that was part of it, and shows how little I know about cell phones to begin with. Thanks...and sorry.

You can also do rental phones at the airport kioaks. I always go there to pick up a SIM card on arrival - $40 or $1500 phone bill?

Some, not all, places are fine if you phone from a payphone for the initial reservation, and then call again after booking the love hotel room.

you don't have to go to the airport for that, they sell it in yodobashi

You can order one online and have them mail it to you too. Search Phone Rental Japan, most sites do the same thing and are mostly the same price.

The numbers you dialed would not be appeared on a phone bill even for postpaid phones.
Good luck!

Thanks everyone for your help! Hope to book something next week.
