☆ENGLISH ONLY☆コミュのpre-paid cell phone in Japan - any recommendation?

Friends of mine will stay in Japan for a few weeks, and they want to have cell phones to communicate each other while they are traveling.

They won’t understand Japanese language, and they are not technical people either, so instructions should be clear and easy to understand.

I’d like to ask those who are not Japanese and have used pre^paid cell phone. Could any of you have any recommendation for pre-paid cell phone?

I did some research and found that among several cell phone companies, AU or vodafone is the reasonable kinds for short-term user. But I am not sure if they provide English version of instructions. I’ll appreciate it if any of you share your coments.

hmm...
I use a vodafone prepaid cellphone. It cost 3000 yen itself, and the cards cost 3000 yen each.
I forgot the tarif but I think it was cheaper than the others.
vodafone - 60yen/minute, AU - 13 yen/ 10 sec, docomo - 100yen/minute or so was it.
I just tried to set it to English but I couldn't find where. But I remember being told it could be set to English... ? maybe?
I also came across this small cellphone firm that AU bought recently who gave out prepaid phones for free if you bought one 3000 yen card with the. Only these phones couldn't send short messages, only do calls.

Thank you for your comment.

Actually, they stay in Kyoto for the first several days of their trip. So it will be nice if they can get the phone at somewhere in Kyoto. Is it true that you can purchase it at any Lawson Convenience store ? Where can they find ones with reasonable price?
