Vodafone Japan Goes Flat-Rate
Vodafone Japan has finally announced the launch of a flat-rate data price plan. Vodafone’s new “Packet Free” tariff will allow unlimited use for 3,900 yen; there is also a “Packet Economy” level for 2,000 yen. Both plans allow free messaging (including attachments) between other subscribers and offer global roaming video calling from selected European regions (works on six of the seven new 3G handsets). Top that off with Macromedia Flash, some compelling pre-installed game content, and a new “Vodafone BB” data download service and it would seem Vodafone are finally getting their 3G underway.

We wonder when all those new handsets will actually roll out though, as a planned press conference scheduled for this week appears to be delayed.
