AEON Mobile's plans for people who live in Japan, what it takes to sign up, and the real monthly cost including setup fees.
Heads up: AEON Mobile's official application and support are in Japanese only, as far as we could confirm. You (or someone helping you) will likely need to read Japanese to sign up.
