Overseas Call and Communication Fees
The major differences with domestic fees are as
follows:
■
You are charged to receive incoming calls
Because your Japanese mobile phone number is
used for international roaming, incoming calls are
routed through Japan and are forwarded to the
overseas location. Therefore, receiving charges
(including the international forwarding charges)
will apply.
■
You may be charged even if a connection
cannot be established
Depending on your location and selected carrier,
you may be charged for calls or communications
even if the connection cannot be established due
to communication conditions.
■
You are charged for “toll free” calls
Depending on your location and selected carrier,
you may be charged domestic call fees for collect
calls, toll free calls, credit calls or pre-paid card
calls.
■
A different charging scheme applies for
packet communication
A different packet charging scheme may be used,
such as applying a minimum charge per access
(depending on the carrier, 50 yen or more, or 100
yen or more).
■
Charges for overseas usage
Charges for overseas usage are added to the
monthly usage fee. However, for the convenience
of overseas carriers, usage fees may be added to
the monthly bill in the following month or later.
Also, charges for overseas usage may not be
billed during the same month as the usage.
After Coming Back to Japan
After coming back to Japan, the FOMA network
will be connected automatically.
