ｉＰｈｏｎｅ買っちゃいました。香港の電脳中心買物隊さんでＡｐｐｌｅ香港のＳＩＭフリー版をオーダーしました。ソフトバンクで普通のを買うと海外に出たときに目ん玉飛び出るほどのローミング料金を請求されるので、ＳＩＭフリー版にして、海外に出た時はその国のＳＩＭカードに入れ替えて使えるようにしたいと思って。
I’ve got an iPhone!
I’ve bought an iPhone. I ordered it from a broker in Hong Kong who got it at Apple Store Hong Kong, because the iPhone sold in Hong Kong is locked to no particular mobile carriers. In Japan, you can buy an iPhone at a Softbank cell phone shop but they sell only the iPhone locked to Softbank. Softbank does offer international roaming service, but if you go out of Japan and use it with a Softbank SIM card in a foreign country they will charge tremendously high international roaming charges to your bill (It costs as high as hundreds of thousand Yen per day! Crazy!). That’s why I’ve got an unlocked iPhone so that I can freely replace a SIM card into that issued at the country I’m in when I travel abroad.
