(keitai-l) Re: Jphone/ gaijin friendly store?

Hi all,
 
For future reference, I ended up getting a phone from au in Shibuya without a
problem.  The guy who helped me (Hiro) had very understandable english and
was very helpful, no gaijin card, didn't even open the passport I produced,
if I remember correctly.
 
Now I just need to learn how to use this thing, looks pretty wild!
 
Thanks for all your help!

The J-phone store in Tokyo station has good English-language service.  It's
on the Yaesu side, towards the north end, on the main (ground-floor) level. 

I seem to recall that I just used a credit card, and nothing else was
required, but I can't be sure.

hi KLers -

A friend is visiting japan. I recall there was a Jphone/ gaijin friendly
store, foreign speaking staff etc at one of the main stations. can someone
remember where?

also, what is the current situation with getting a jpnz phone account? I
know docomo are a total pita, but jphone/ez - just a credit card, or
tourokusho also required?

I assume the JPhone pre-pay phone is overpriced minutes, as prepay
everywhere else is generally a ripoff and a lame device - or is japan
different?

pls cc the cc if you reply...
