You can send email from payphones in Japan?!? We try the technology trick that shocked the nation soranews24.com

Previously, you could use a payphone to send email to users of phones with service providers Docomo, au, or SoftBank.
Dial the phone number of the person you want to send the email to3.
After you hear a voice say “Messeji wo irete kudasai” (“Please input your message”), type your message.
As you can see, you can send messages in both the Latin alphabet or Japanese text.
For Japanese text you’re locked in to using phonetic katakana characters, not hiragana or kanji, but that still lets you write intelligible sentences.
