Will be on the road for three months total. If the whole thing doesn't work in Japan, I guess that will,have to be ok.
Other thoughts?

Who is your local carrier in the U.S.? If you are on T-Mobile you would have free wifi calling built-in if you have an Android or BBerry. Free calling back to U.S. wherever you have wifi.
Make use of T-M's UMA/wifi free calling from any place in the world with access to wifi. I use an LG G6, wife an S7)
A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20¢/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries.
My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.
