 +===== MNP =====
 +
 +Sakura Mobile and Mobal base offerings support MNP in and out. This is not using the one-stop flow. You need an MNP reservation with at least 8 days left usually.
 +
 +HanaCell doesn’t support MNP, and Mobal’s cheaper voice offering doesn’t either.
 +===== Other providers? =====
 +
 +If you have new providers, please submit them to me at [email protected]. I will publish your provider information. I only accept submissions for providers that provide voice and SMS services to non-residents. Ideal new providers also support this outside of Japan.
