International Mobile Phone Purchase — The Smart Option for Japanese Travel

A British company has made international mobile phone ownership a cheaper and more convenient option, compared to mobile phone rental, for the 70%+ of the Japanese population whose own mobile phones do not work in the UK or Europe. Mobell Communications Ltd. realized that many Japanese travelers to the UK and Europe have to organize and pay for mobile phone rental every trip because their own phones use incompatible technology. By selling the GSM World Phone access free from only 9,450 Yen for outright purchase — with absolutely no monthly or annual fees —Japanese travelers can now afford to buy a second phone just for international use.

Once the GSM World Phone has been purchased, customers are only ever charged for their calls. When they get back home they can keep the phone in a drawer, safe in the knowledge that it is not costing them a yen. As the phone remains active, it is ready to use the next time they go abroad — far cheaper and more convenient than arranging rental for every trip.

The GSM World Phone uses GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) technology — the most wide spread mobile phone technology in the world. This means that as well as working in the UK, the phone also works in over 140 other countries, with just one mobile phone number. Mobell Communications can also supply UK SIM cards, allowing the small number of Japanese citizens who own a GSM-compatible mobile phone, to take advantage of local call tariffs while in the UK.

Phones are delivered free of charge in Japan, call charges are debited in Japanese yen to user credit card accounts, and fully itemized bills are supplied as standard allowing business and private calls to be identified. There is no minimum usage requirement, users have access to free 24-hour worldwide technical support service, and phones are supplied with a charger and international electricity adaptor.
