Re: So much for good will from the death star...............
said by Cjaiceman  :I like having the option to get a Japan or UK phone and have it work perfect. FYI, your SIM card and GSM phone wont likely work in Japan. They have their own proprietary technology in their phones. You will be in good shape if you go to the UK however, and all of Europe.

| FYI. You can use GSM phones that supports 3G UMTS 2100 MHz band in Japan. My family and I have successfully used Nokia E70 (Europe version, as the US version doesn't support the 2100 MHz band), Nokia N73, and Nokia E90. In the Tokyo area, you are most likely to roam to with Softbank.
Phones such as the HTC S630 can operate over there as well. Similary for all the current AT&T 3G data cards that operate on tri-band 3G frequencies. |
