As long as you can access the WiFi internet, you should be able to use "text free" in Japan, or anywhere in the world. (Maybe not in China because of the censorship.) The problem is, how you find a free WiFi, or even a paid public WiFi service in Japan? Most paid WiFi services in Japan require the pre-registration to obtain a WEP key to connect to the service in the public place. You can not sign up for the service online at the time of the initial use, because they use the WEP key for security and you don't have it (WEP key) until you sign up to connect to their web site. Some places sell a one-day pass, though.

How to get a visa that allows me to work in Japan
How to get a visa that allows me to work in Japan?
I'm from Ireland. How do I get a visa that allows me to work in Japan? (working visa,etc). I have already worked in Japan for 1 year on a working holiday visa. Now that visa has expired and I have returned to my home country. However I would like to move back to Japan again next year. As far as I know, I cannot get another working holiday visa. What visa do I need that would let me work in Japan long term (teaching English). Thank you.

search the US STATE DEPARTMENT JOBS site and ask them if you can apply for a teaching position there. They have several internal visa's available to those who work for them. see site below. best of luck to you.
2 :
Your employer will have to apply for an employment visa for you.

You could maybe get an English Teacher Assistant visa. It means, being the assistant of an English teacher in an English class. It's possible to get but you'll need to do some googling.

How does foreign exchange work? - Japan to America
How does foreign exchange work? - Japan to America?
To be blunt, I'm just trying to write a story about a Japanese kid going to America and figured I need details since I'm not japanese. What confused me was Japan's voluntary high school and their grade system. If you are a native Japanese exchanging to America, and you are in that "voluntary" high school, what do you exchange into in America? Say I'm "First Year" in Japan. Do I go to America's "Freshmen" grade? Also, how long can a foreign exchange student stay in America? A month? A year? Also, how young can these kids transfer? Is there an age limit?

>Say I'm "First Year" in Japan. Do I go to America's "Freshmen" grade? It depends on each school. 1st year of high school is 10th grade in US. So if the high school in US is 4-year one, he would be transferred to sophomore year. >Also, how long can a foreign exchange student stay in America? A month? A year? It's possible to stay one year if you got that kind of visa. >Also, how young can these kids transfer? Is there an age limit? If you are talking about high schools, you must be 15 to join a high school in Japan. So that's age limit.

I don't think there are any. Many Japanese from all over Japan have gone up there to help. What they really need is money. $300 billion of it. Just $10 can help.
2 :
You at least have to pay your air fare and accommodation in Japan. And you will find many volunteer openings while you stay in Japan.
3 :
Unless you can speak Japanese fluently you are going to be about as useful as tits on a bull. Maybe there are some groups in the U.S., or whatever country you are from, organizing such an effort and you could sign up to be part of it. Other than that, donations to the Red Cross are the easiest way to help out.

You are not going to be hired for anything in Japan if you don't have a skill that they need regardless of how earnest you are in wanting to help. The Japanese affected by the tsunami need more than just someone passing out food and water. Japan is facing a growing financial crisis because the economy was not healthy even before the tsunami struck, and now it is even worse. Hiring any foreigner to work in Japan will have to meet one criteria - you must have a skill or expertise in something that the Japanese do not have AND it contributes to the growth of their economy. The entire infrastructure of the affected region is basically gone and that means no jobs in an already bad economy, no housing in a country already short on housing, no place to build new houses because the land sunk 14 inches and is now a flood plain which only makes any future typhoon or tsunami incursions a very a serious danger. Then there is the area around Fukushima which is a radiation hazard and will be that way until the reactors are dismantle if that is even possible. If you are serious about working in Japan, then get not just an education but a great education in a field that they need. Remember, Japan is a modern 21st century nation not some backwards 3rd world country. You are going to have to aim high.

Not job per se, but volunteer work. If you are in college, or not, you could propose to local businesses or scholarship foundations to fund your trip to Japan, providing you are really doing useful work there on a volunteer basis. America has foundations like habitat for humanity, the Peace Corps, and many others. And now there are some groups dedicated to rebuilding Japan. Check them out. You won't necessarily get a paycheck, but volunteer work pays off in a lot of ways.
6 :
The best way you can help support the relief effort is by making a donation to the Red Cross Japan Disaster Appeal via their website at https://www.redcross.org.au/Donations/onlineDonations.asp
7 :
You are not going to be 'paid' for working in the disaster zone. You have not listed any skills whatsoever that is useful in disaster relief nor how can you contribute to the reconstruction efforts. You obviously have no idea what volunteer work is all about, since there are many organizations like the Red Cross that have raised assistance for Japan. Please do a search on Y!A before asking retarded questions again and again.
