Good news! Visitors to Tokyo will now be able to rent cell phones at Narita International and Kansai International Airports.
NTT DoCoMo will launch an international roaming-in service to enable mobile subscribers of DoCoMo's 21 international partners in 19 countries and territories to use DoCoMo's 3G FOMA network while in Japan, according to Telecom Paper.
"The service starts 1 May. By using 3G roaming-in service compatible handsets that will be provided by DoCoMo, subscribers will be able to make and receive calls using their regular local number. Phones will be available at DoCoMo World Counters in Narita International Airport and Kansai International Airport. "
