I’m curious what current JETs have done with their cell phone and their phone number. When you moved to Japan, did you just buy a second phone as a “business phone” and get a second number, to keep your current one? I think you have to have a Japanese phone number to open a bank account correct? I’d like to keep my American phone number, as it’s linked to many things. I get free wifi calling and unlimited free texting as well, so I see no point in needing that Japanese number besides for the bank. I also already have LINE, where my Japanese friends and I talk regularly. Will it really be an issue if I don’t get a new phone/number?
