using mobile phones ?

hi

I am not a worldly traveller so please do not think of me as a bit thick,but.......What is the best method for using my mobile in Japan ?

I know in Europe my phone will pick up the nearest local provider,and the calls charged by them and my uk provider which is expensive,is this the same in Japan ? Will I be able to by a Sim card in Japan,pay as you go,and use it as I would in GB,and just top up when required ?

any advice would be gratefully accepted !

cheers

the answer is no, unless you use 3G system.

your service provider in GB might have some rental deals for handsets in Japan.

or you should put your question to the Japan forums.
