Hi, i just moved to Japan and I'm going to be here for at least a year; so until I can get a decent long-term sim card plan, I was wondering if there was any android app that I could use to call Japanese numbers for free while I'm in Japan. I read that magicAPP can call anywhere in North America for free but only from North America. Is there anything like this for Japan?
Also does anyone know what the best long-term SIM card plans are? I heard B-Mobile has a decent one. I have an international Galaxy S5 with 2 SIM card slots btw, so I could potentially use 2 different SIM plans.

If you install the LINE app you can talk for free with anyone else who has LINE installed on their smartphone, which in Japan is essentially everyone with a smartphone.

I am a tourist, planning to visit Japan soon. Do you mean I can send a chat message using LINE to my Japanese friend when I am in Japan? Thank you.

Line also has voip capabilities to other line users. It works ok, but I don't find it all too reliable.

Yes, that's it's main functionality.
Doesn't LINE require an Internet connection though?
Yes, of course.
