biggest challenge

look for unlocked phones on the internet. They're typically expensive, but make sure its compatible with your carrier. Im not sure carriers will help you getting a japanese phone working here.

i use skype lol, but if you doing the skype method just call the skype in number and it'll forward it to japan.
soo say you know Person A's Phone number in japan.
you y our self have a skype in account.
set the forwarding number to his number with the country code. then call your skype in number, dont pick up and it'll forward the call.

Hey, I'm living in Japan now and I'm getting charged SkypeOut rates. Did you get around this somehow or should I just suck it up and pay the charge to forward to cell phones?

the softbank phones will not work in other countries, at least mine doesnt.
the price range of the phones are 5000 yen to 15000 yen
roughly 48-150 dollars pending on what model and it costs 3000 - 5000 yen for prepaid minutes which can be bought at quick stops
