Um...actually CX has been doing this in HK but they don't have a CX phone...I like the last JAL phone better though

AU all the way baby. It's awesome. Unlimited Free calls to 3 mobile AU users (gf of course) any time for 300 yen a month is awesome. Plus the mobile reception is great.

What more could a man (or woman) want? AND THE MILES!!!

But even us Americans can take advantage of JAL/KDDI partnership.

My KDDI America cell phone earns me 1 mile per $1 of my monthly cell phone bill

The operating company of this service, Infonix, filed for bankruptcy protection. Infonix was leasing mobile network assets from KDDI to provide this and other services.

The company says it has signed a deal to pass the JAL Mile Phone to KDDI and is hoping the service will continue.

Unfortunately JAL has announced the termination of the JAL Mile Phone Doesn't sound like that's a success...maybe too many people in Japan has switched to iPhone and other more popular smartphones.
