Regan explained it in English.🙇
Regan & I made youtube videos together when he was in Japan in 2015.
He lives in Australia. He is visiting Japan and stays for 10 days.
He came to Nagoya where he lived in 2015.

Tomoko-san こんにちは、I wouldn't trust ChatGPT too much since it can't count to ten. AI needs to advance more before it can be relied on. I also watched your newest USJ video too. Stay cool.

Hi Tomoko

Hi, Al!

[@greg5023]

US travelers in Japan report that the foreign roaming offered by their US phone carrier generally works well in Japan. I would try my carrier's foreign roaming before buying a SIM or eSIM. The advantage is rather than the SIM's foreign phone number you can call and text with your own number. I like staying on my US plan because when I've used a SIM or eSim I often get strange charges showing up on my credit card bill for weeks. AT&T's roaming is $12/day with no cap. Verizon' roaming in Japan charges $10/day and data is limited to 0.5GB/day. Google Fi's roaming in Japan is reported to work very well and Google charges $10/GB.

[@tomokotomoko]

Wow! Greg! That's a great information! 😃 Thank you for letting us know that! Could you make a video with me? Please!!🙇‍♀️😊

[@greg5023]

@@tomokotomoko I watched a 2nd time and at 5:55 Regan said pretty much what I said, that travelers in Japan can use their home country cell carrier and roam but pay a little more. Tomoko, if you do a video with me everyone will say, "She should have done that video with handsome Regan". Everyone would like to see handsome Regan explain roaming ....

[@tomokotomoko]

@@greg5023 I need you! 😁

[@greg5023]

@@tomokotomoko Tomoko, when you come to the US do you roam on your regular cell plan or get do you buy a SIM?
