i assume you're looking for a 3G data plan for your laptop? (You can not add 3G data in Japan to your existing foreign cell phone.) Found this. This is a prepaid 3G data service which include 150 hours of usage over 480 days. It uses NTT docomo's 3G network. http://www.bmobile.ne.jp/english/detail_3g.html This one is a month-to-month contract http://www.e-ca.jp/ and uses e-moibile 3G network, which is limited to larger cities. If you're going to country-sides, better use a service that use NTT Docomo's network. If you go to Japan often, try Willcom core 3G, which also uses NTT Docomo's 3G network. And, this is the one I have. http://www.willcom-inc.com/core/core_3g/index_02.html You get charged only for 945 Yen for the month you don't use at all, and for the maximum of 6930 Yen for the month you use a lot. Willcom has filed for reorganization last week, although they continue to offer services. There're a few data card rental places at Narita airport http://www.pupuru.com/en/service/emobile/ http://www.mbsol.co.jp/ubiqi/shop1.html NTT Docomo and Softbank also have the 3G data services directly from them. http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/service/data/foma/introduction/data_lineup/index.html http://mb.softbank.jp/mb/data_card/
