KDDI Mobile has migrated to the US using Sprint’s network as a MVNO. KDDI is Japan’s second most popular cell phone network, with a new target market — Japenese Americans. While it might somewhat limit the initial target audience, the network isn’t limited in who can sign up. The plans are pre-paid at $.12/minute for airtime, and $.15/message. Japan is known for being ahead of the US in terms of cell phones, although KDDI Mobile is only offering 2 phones at the moment: LG 225 and Sanyo 2400 (two pretty low end phones). Let’s hope we can see some of those 5 megapixel camera phones, and other advanced phones coming to America through this offering. You can sign up today.
