Mobile Sim Card

- I am moving to Japan for 7 months at the beginning of July.

- I have an Iphone5S that is unlocked and accepts Japanese sim-cards so this is not a problem.

- I require some call functionality (not huge amounts)
- Data is necessary but could probable cope with 1gb a month.

- This seems applicable: http://www.softbank-rental.jp/e/rental-plan-ib07.php

However, I am struggling to whether this is applicable to me and what the rough cost of this would be. Can anyone help??

Most appreciated. Thanks all.

The softbank rental plans are relatively expensive if you use any amount of data (you hit the limit after .59 mb). Instead I'd look into the bmobile voice+data sim cards or consider getting a softbank prepaid to handle phone and get a pocket wifi or subscribe to paid wifi to cover internet.

Here's the b-mobile plans (japanese only)
