I thought those phones had been discontinued, or at least made nearly
impossible for foreigners to use. I was going to get a ridiculously
expensive keitai from Telecom Square, but if those little toy ones are
still available it would save me a bundle. Are you fairly sure us gaigin
can still purchase and activate the things?

Thanks,
