Comparison with SMS Services Offered by Domestic Carriers
When you attempt to send a text message overseas from Japan though a domestic carrier, the number of handsets supported is limited, and the price of a single message ranges from 50 to 100 yen. It's just not as easy as exchanging text messages with other people in Japan.
With WorldDyne it is possible to use our services on all domestic Japanese mobile phones that have email and calling capabilities. This includes NTT docomo, au, SoftBank (including iPhone, Disney), EMobile, Willcom, as well as au and SoftBank prepaid phones that do not have international SMS, among others.
In addition, SMS messages are only 20 yen each with WorldDyne. We offer services that have made prices a third or a fourth the prices of the mobile phone carriers a reality.
