I had used the mobile phone produced by the company "au" for five years, but I canceled it. I bought a new one prodeuced by the company" Vodaphone".
There is one atrractive point to me. Vodaphone in Japan started the system of fixed sum. You can talk and send e-mail to only one person you chose as much as youy want if you add only 300yen to your monthly charge.
I think I will get used to using my new mobilephone soon.
I knew the original mobile phones that were big and clunky like military equipment, then the cell phones that were a fashion accessory of the yuppies, yet I’ve never owned one.
I’m curious about the market, though: can you buy a keitai without signing up to a provider’s service plan at the same time? Or sign up to a sevice plan without buying a cell phone at the same time? In this business the hardware and the service are bundled up into single package, right?
Also, that 300 Yen extra plan seems to be intended for people who either have a boyfriend/girlfriend or an exceptionally close relationship with their mother. =)

I don’t know well about the market, but I think we have to sign up to a service plan when we buy a mobile phone.
The reason I bought a new one is my boyfriend and I are long-distance lovers from this April. It is not related with my mother
