NOTE: NAME PENDING A REVIEW FROM SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY SPEAKS JAPANESE, JUST A PLACEHOLDER FOR NOW BASED ON WHAT GOOGLE TRANSLATE SPITS OUT. Original name is iキャラコール.

iCharaCall (iキャラコール) was a collaboration between Takara and KLab released in 2004 for Japanese feature phones (note exact model availability here) It offered chara-den, characters that would stand in for the user in a way that emulated a voice call.

Optimus Prime and Megatron were both available.


The service had a monthly fee of 315 yen. https://k-tai.watch.impress.co.jp/cda/article/news_toppage/18439.html
