[sumo] [non-sumo] cell phone rental in Japan

[Barbara Ann Klein]

The one thing you DON'T want to do is rent at the airport, in conjunction
with your airline program or not. I did that the first time, and a week's
rental cost me almost as much as a basic mobile plan for a year over there.

These may not be so inexpensive anymore, but may still be a better deal than
a rental.
