What cell phone can I purchase that can phone and text in the US and to Japan? -

I m going to be here (US) but I need to be able to call and recieve phone calls from my parents in Japan who live there incase of emergencies. And I have a few friends there too so it d be nice if I could text them from here. Anyone know any cellphones that can do all that?

A cell phone from Japan can do this, but when you are in the US you will pay through the nose.

i have no personal experience with that, but i d imagine most (if not all) cellphone providers would allow you to text back and forth.
