I don't understand this one but I respect the sentiment and the "we are now living in the future" vibe  |

I went to get a Japanese mobile phone number since we are going to be here for a while and dealing with some rental SIM card aint worth it. Picked up a spanking new Google-brand phone mostly because it was discounted so much it ended up being around 35,000 yen - the same as the lowest end phones, which I was told are for seniors and don't have much memory but do have gigantic fonts...Can't put a mini memory card in it so good thing I have 200 gb on my Drive account for tuneage. Even broke down and bought in-the-ear wireless headphones for the first time but opted for some that have a wire connecting them because otherwise I'd probably lose them fast...
Also, walking the doggo around my hood I have noticed various huemans with eyes glued to the phone as they wobble down the street on a mama-chari. Not just teens but grown-ass men wft...can't wait for one to run into the pup so he/she either gets bit or sued...

How much do the cunting things cost a month?
Not going to get one, mind you, just looking to conscion spending that amount on records guilt free.
"You pay ___ yen to aimlessly scroll past tik tok cats vids meanwhile I've used the exact same amount of $$$ to buy records I can actually hold in my hand for the rest of my life."

It's like 3,000 a month I think. We have a family discount with home Internet also but now the wifey is like, Docomo has crap coverage if you go into inaka. I think you would pay the same for a non-smart phone probably. Do you even have one of those?
Another funny keitai thing recently: Went up to a self-checkout register at the supermarket and notice the previous customer left their receipt and then I go to hang my shopping bag and see they left their phone also! I immediately call staff over who thank me profusely while probably wondering why this foreigner is so honest...C'mon lady, it's probably one of those old people phones that I don't need...quite yet. But the customer was apparently long gone.

It's like 3,000 a month I think. Cheaper than I thought. I guessed the kids paid 10k a month for all the bells and whistles options. It's their staple form of entertainment after all, their lifeblood and sole mental sustenance that encompasses their entire self worth. |

Key to surviving the phone is disabling all notifications except text and phonecalls. Nobody who isn't willing to use those should interrupt your day.

Yeah, if you need to use a lot of roaming data for TikTok videos and chatting with your long-distance boyfriend/girlfriend (the BEST type of S.O. really) while sat at the FamiRest, then it probably hits 1 man. Add in the wifey's phone and our home Internet, if we can ever get it installed, and the entire bill will be over 1 man/month... |
