Warning about the Amazing 子供モビル (Kids Phone)

I didn’t teach any classes today, but I am so exhausted right now. I think it's because I just spent over two hours going through my mobile phonebook and copying down all the information. Whew.

So it appears that the RIDICULOUSLY cheap new phone plan I switched to might be limiting the number of messages I can send per day. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t realize that fact until I had already cancelled my old phone plan and BEFORE I had emailed everyone to tell them I have a new number/phone-email account. Yeah, don't even say it. Silly, I know. Anyways, to make up for the error (and not being able to send anything), I've now spent the afternoon copying down everyone's information so I have a backup stored and also so I can send them a regular PC email with my new info. Sending out a group email is easy enough, but the copying part is killing me.


On a more serious note, though, I am crossing my fingers that it is not the case that my outgoing messages & calls are limited. It would cause an issue, but it is possible. The plan and phone that I just signed up for are technically for children, so I can see the phone company setting limitations and restrictions on how much a kid can use their phone.


I am going to talk to the provider today to see if I can get things sorted out, but I’ve only sent three emails (text messages) so far this morning (one to about 5 people) and I’ve already hit the quota!
