I'm moving out by the end of this month, and I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on where I could list my bicycle for sale, if there are in-person locations that buy your bikes, and worst case if I can't find a way to transfer my bike's ownership, what options am I left with? "Throwing" it away?

Also when I do the moving out procedure, is the city office able to tell me if I have any pending payments left over for stuff like NHI, pension, etc? (I did my absolute best to stay on top of things, but it's just for a final check in case anything slipped past me)

I'm trying to port out to another carrier and I receive the "Hi, it's Fido! We received a request [ ... ]" text, but not the actual text that says reply "YES" or "NO".

It's been more than 90 minutes as well, so I've definitely waited long enough for the text to come. Do I just have better chances for this to work during a weekday or something?

tldr; need help / advice changing my credit card info, stuck in a customer service loop

Hello. I am with ahamo on the postpaid 30gb plan, and I am moving out of Japan on July 31st. I am trying to change my credit card to my Wise card (on my docomo account) but I can't because when I made my account, the staff entered my name using full-width alphanumeric characters, whereas the credit card change form only accepts half-width alphanumeric, so my name never matches, no matter how I write it.

The docomo site says to contact support if my name doesn't match. The ahamo chat tells me they can't do anything and to call the NTT Finance center to perform this change. The NTT Finance center sends me the exact same link that told me to contact support if my name doesn't match. The NTT Finance center representative told me to go to a MyDocomo shop, pay a handling fee to have my credit card info changed (lol), but I've already tried going twice and was outright refused service because I am on ahamo and not docomo.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can change this credit card to the Wise one (I know Wise works because my friend's payments are working with his Wise card) or am I out of luck and should just cancel my phone plan before July starts? (The reason I am looking to do this is because I receive the phone bill by post, around the 20th of each month, for the previous month's bill, but I will be unable to pay the last one because I will be out of the country by the time it arrives)

It’s my first time seeing them (and really, first time Japanese firework festival in general) and I was wondering if my preparations were adequate, and what else I could do.

I heard spots start being hard to find after 3 or 4pm so I’m thinking of getting to Nishiarai side (station) instead of the more crowded Kita-senju side at that time and then place down a picnic sheet on the ground somewhere with a decent view to reserve the spot for my two other friends who will join me after 5:30pm. I know it gets super crowded and I’m ready to do the 3 hour walk back home if needed, but I was wondering if there’s anything else I could, or should do to prepare. Like an easy consideration that will improve the quality of the experience somewhat significantly.

I have a flight 8am and I ams staying around Korea University in Seoul. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions in how I can make it to the airport on time for my flight. During booking I didn’t realize how long it takes to get to ICN so I thought 8am was fine.

If I arrive around 6:50am using the first AREX departure from Seoul station, would that be enough to make it?
