Cellular Abroad Rental Service for Japan

Rent a cell phone for your travel to Japan. Cellular Abroad offers cellular phone rentals for Japan and for over 120 other countries. Unlike traditional cell phone rental options where besides the cell phone rental, you also pay expensive per minute usage rates, our solution allows you to take advantage of the low local rates that the Japanese are paying, regardless of the length of your trip. These rates are extremely advantageous and even include unlimited FREE incoming calls!

As part of your rental package, you are purchasing a prepaid Japan recharge voucher which provides 3000 Yen initial airtime. The phone is prepaid so that you will never receive a phone bill and will always be in complete control of your expenditures. If needed, you can simply add more talk time to the card by purchasing scratch off recharge cards at convenience stores, including 7-11s (in Japan) and entering in the PIN number on the handset. And since incoming calls are always free, even if you have depleted your credit you can still receive incoming calls from anywhere in the world while you travel. You may also purchase more recharges from us here.

We also offer purchasing options for Japan phones.

Our Rental Packages
The Japan flip phone is available for rent on a weekly or monthly basis. Remember, in addition to the phone rental rate, the purchase of at least 3000 Yen airtime credit for $39 is included in your final price.

Important FAQs for Rentals

When do I order?
You can order as far in advance as you like - even months prior to your travel departure. We will not ship your rental until the appropriate date in order for you to receive it in time for your departure. Rentals are typically shipped FedEx 2-Day service, unless faster service is required.

What is the latest I can order a rental phone?
Although it's not recommended to place your order at the last minute, you can order up to one business day prior to your departure as long as you call in prior to 4pm Pacific Time. Even if you are leaving early in the morning, we can usually get your phone to you. Please call our 800 number (rather than order via the web) in order to confirm that we can get you your cell phone rental on time. Please take into account that bad weather can sometimes delay FedEx shipments. Cellular Abroad cannot refund the price of priority shipping for orders placed the day before departure if the package arrives late due to the weather.

When do I get the phone?
You will receive your cell phone rental a day or two prior to your departure.

Does the cell phone come charged?
Yes it does.

What happens if I cancel?
The CANCELLATION FEE for rentals is $25.00 per phone. You may cancel the order before your order is shipped. Shipping costs are due at the time of reserve.

What will the rates be for people calling me from the US?
That depends on the international long distance rates charged by their long distance company.  We recommend a company called Gorilla Mobile for those calls because they have low rates internationally and their service can even be used from a US cell phone.  Tell Gorilla Mobile you were referred by Cellular Abroad or enter our promo code CELLAB1 at www.gorillamobile.com and they will give you $5 in free call credit to start plus they'll waive your startup fee!  Gorilla Mobile’s phone number is 1-800-881-3004.

Does Cellular Abroad offer insurance against loss or damage?
No, we do not, and this is why. Technically, you are purchasing the phone from Cellular Abroad and then we are buying it back from you. The vast majority of credit card companies offer their own insurance against loss or damage for purchases, but usually not for rentals. Therefore, and given this premise, you are already covered for accidental loss or damage...at no extra charge!

Save time by starting your travel to Japan with an additional ¥ 3000 of talk time.

If you buy the recharge cards in Japan and are applying the credit yourself, simply scratch off the protective panel, follow our detailed instructions to enter the code number and your credit is applied.

Convenient Tip: You can purchase additional recharge codes via phone whenever you need to add more call credits to your prepaid account. No need to physically ship the cards! Just call Cellular Abroad at +1 310-862-7100 and we can sell you as many recharge codes as you need. With the extra code(s), you'll be able to add more minutes from anywhere in Japan.
