As much as I hated to leave the home of sushi and udon, I'm back in the USA now. Even though I was not using a global prepaid SIM in Japan (my grandfathered T-Mobile roaming rates in Japan are very good) I did make a lot of use of my VoiceStick account. When I was in a place where I had a direct landline I could forward my T-Mobile cell phone to the VoiceStick number which I had set to forward to the landline. Turned out to be around 2 or 3 US cents per minute. When I was in places where I had some e-mail but no direct inward dailing (Some calls had to go through multiple dialing stages, if they were working at all) I just turned on the Voicemail to E-mail feature. In a hotel with free WiFi I used the VOIP service to make calls at 2c/min. It saved me a huge amount of money.
