Hey Guys,
I have a pre-paid softbank sim card that I bought while in Japan, and the phone number/balance has not expired yet, but soon will.
I won't be able to make it back to Japan before the expiration though.
Even though they were not supposed to, a Softbank shop in Kyoto sold me a pre-paid sim. I have been using it for the last couple years, however I have always been able to return before the service period expires.
Last visit, I was able to login to their website to do online pre-paid payments to extend the contract. (The account activation requires a PIN entered that they SMS the phone.)
However, they recently changed their login system, and you have to re-apply for an account. This means I have to be able to receive an SMS again.
I am planning to upgrade to a TP2 very soon anyways and was wondering if I can use it to receive the SMS messages while here in the US. (Specifically Dallas/Fort Worth).
This might be best for a seperate thread, but kinda seemed like it fit in here. Sorry jic!
Thanks!
