I guess this is one of the problems while travelling in Japan (at least this has been the major problem I have). When you make resevation, you have to give some tel for contact. I have only Cell phone and certainly hate giving it to people I don’t know, but often I’ve been on the verge of refusal ( Soreha ne…E, doushimashou…If you don’t have telephone, chotto…). But I live in Japan. I was wondering what happens with the tourists who come and rely mostly on tel cards.Pls share your experienses and advises how to get reservation without giving your personal tel.
JB gave good answer and I really don’t understand the trolls who gave him 6 TD. I’d like to encourage him to ignore the trolls and to keep the spirit of this answer for further. Thanks everyone who answered so far. I was wondering if the hotel would accept the e-mail of the MP- this I can change anytime later, and still I’ll get the message immediately.

I would like to know if web cell phones like the 3g or droid are going to be popular and if so how popular specifically.

Are they going to be like picture phones where practically everyone with a cell phone has advanced phones capable of efficient and usefull browsing..

I have an old cell phone number that I just don’t want to let go of but I’ll hardly ever use so I’m looking for a cell phone plan that’s cheap and bare bones. This number might get used once or twice a year and that’s it. Any suggestions?
