Mr. Soapy Bacteria No. ！

Mr. Not Traveling,
To call a landline in Japan on line, use Line Out. You can activate Line Out from your phone's Line Call by clicking on the button-like display in the upper left corner of the screen. It is very convenient. No prior configuration is required. Just google Line Out ！.

Good news for all adults going back home or traveling to western Japan ！ If you don't mind taking Kodama or Hikari for this distance, membership in JR West's "Otonavi" program is 4,000 yen one way from Shin-Osaka to Hiroshima ！ It's only for those over 50, but sometimes getting older is a good thing. I am looking forward to it. I haven't used it yet, so please google for details.

FA,

Thank you for your detailed explanation about the line. However, I think that the expression "Mr. Baiju is wrong ！" may not be correct. I have never used Line at all, but I just explained to "Mr. Not Traveling" that you can call Japanese landlines and cell phones with a setup that may require a fee, just like Skype. Is this interpretation also wrong?

Instead of Line and Skype,

As I mentioned before, Sprint has a plan where you can pay $5 for up to 30 days of unlimited calls ・ in Japan, and I set that up for my wife since she is going to Japan.

He is the kind of person who can't live without his iPad, so he needs to be connected to Wi-Fi all the time even in Japan, but this time, wherever he goes, he uses his Sprint phone as a hotspot （ Mobile WiFi ） and his phone as a router. I used my Sprint phone as a router and played with my iPad whenever I had free time.

> Maybe, but if it's like Skype, you don't call the person directly, you have to go to the Line web site if you already have an account open with Line, and set it up to call a paid, Japanese landline.

I couldn't think of a better way to put it than "no, Mr. Bacteria, you don't ！ need to go to the Web Site, nor do you need to set up a paid setup. You can use the （ Line Out ） app on your phone to buy credits to call someone directly anywhere, so it's just like using your cell phone's calling feature.


By the way, do I need to apply or change settings before I can use my phone as a HotSpot ？?

I heard that if you bring your Sprint phone to Japan without any plan, you will be charged 10 cents per minute for calls, but you can use as much data as you want within the limits of your contract here.

If you go to T-Mobile, both calls ・ and data are free. However, someone recently wrote that you have to contact T-Mobile before you leave here to get the free service. Also, the data speed in Japan is 3G.

In contrast, the Sprint plan for $5 is 4G LTE, according to the agent I contacted. I don't know if that's the reason, but when my wife went to Japan, she was able to enjoy YouTube videos without any stress. The hotspot feature on my phone, which replaces pocket WiFi, is also foolproof. Renting a pocket WiFi for two weeks in Japan would cost about 5,000 yen in total.
