3) What services are pretty standard vs. what do you have to pay extra to add to your plan.

Just trying to plan ahead so I have some idea what's up before I walk into a store and am given the run around by the sales person. Thanks!
I used softbank and I'd recommend that you take someone with you to the store (where ever you go) who can translate the complicated terms if you're not fluent in Japanese.

You can find most of this information of the companies' respective websites, all of which have English versions
