Hi there. I just bought a Freetel SIM card, FREETEL SIMmLTE‘ΉžEƒf[ƒ^’ÊMê—pEnano SIMn(ŒŽŠz299‰~(Å”²)‚æ‚è). I bought this SIM card through Amazon with my own country (Malaysia) debit card. I want to ask how to pay the monthly payment of this SIM card if I do not have a credit card?
Thank you.

A debit card of a major brand (Visa, Mastercard, etc.) should work too. Because debit cards are somewhat rare in Japan, they often say "credit card" to rever to all types of payment cards.

@Firas I don't quite get it. The Freetel website says they wont accept debit cards as per the link above so why doubt them?

As an additional comment (or two), I actually have a Freetel sim on contract (took a while because of the a pointless circular argument with the store staff until they realized they made a mistake. I had a specific requirement where I needed another phone number on Japan, and not an 050 number.
Anyway, the conditions I think you will have trouble with are: You need a way of doing auto-payments. I used credit card, but I could have used a Japanese bank account. I am not aware of debit cards that do auto-payments (linked accounts would), but I don't see any reason for Freetel to accept a non-Japanese account for a Japanese phone contract.
The other thing for a plan, you are probably going to need an address and a resident card. There is quite an interesting piece of legislation around who can have a voice phone account.
If you don't need a voice plan and VoIP still works fine most of the time, then just do a three month data sim.
