If you are a SoftBank “iPhone” user and your destination is the United States (*), you are eligible for “America Flat-rate”. You can use "iPhone" as it is in the local area with the same feeling as in Japan. In countries other than the United States, you can use the "All-you-can-eat overseas packet service" starting at 1,980 yen/day, but it's a little more expensive.
*Includes Sprint networks in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands (U.S. territory)
