I thought this was krazy, so I solely relied on Wi-Fi whenever I was in Hawaii
This trip though, I checked to see what the latest was and it turns out that somewhere over the years, Softbank now gives subscribers, unlimited data and calls are now FREE in Hawaii, it’s a little different for calls to the mainland (continental US) and other countries
In Japan, I usually turn my data off and rely on Wi-Fi only because my plan isn’t a flat rate and the more I use the more they’ll charge me.
So this trip, being able to use maps in Hawaii was a treat, I told Satoshi that the month that I’d be in Hawaii would be a sort of test, hoping that it truly was free data and calls
So I wouldn’t forget, before boarding to come back to Japan, I turned off my data
I just checked my billing for July and it was truly free data & calls…whew!
That's great! And so awesome for Japanese tourists in Hawaii, all the more reason to visit!!
ReplyDeleteit's the food and shopping prices that aren't too great for them right now Jenny:) Take care, Kat

DeleteWhat a score! AT&T charges $10 or $12 for each 24 hr period that you use data or text. Calls are still expensive.
ReplyDeleteI love those gardenias and finding out there are many different varieties. What amazes me is that from the same plant, flowers can have 5, 6 or 7 petals.
