Dear visitor, if you know the answer to this question, please post it. Thank you! 3G mobiles in Japan 2009/6/6 I was wondering if my phone SE k660i will work in Japan. I heard that that you can buy prepaid card for iPhone which is 3G phone. My phone uses HSDPA too and I'd like to know if it will be fine to buy a sim card just like for iPhone. Is there any possibilities to buy just a sim card alone or I need to buy/rent mobile as well? Does anyone had some experience with that? by LKay   Re: 3G in japan 2009/6/6 From what I've heard all 3G phones should work in Japan. If you wanted to buy a sim card in Japan, you would need to get an Alien Registration Card. If you don't want to do that, the only alternative would be renting a phone or buying an international sim. by Andy (guest) rate this post as useful 3G mobiles in Japan 2009/6/6 I have a Japanese friends who will guarantee for me or buy for me a sim card alone, so it's not a problem and I won't need Alien Registration Card or permanent stay. The only thing I need to know if I could put that bought Japanese sim into my phone and start calling, sending texts etc. by LKay rate this post as useful iphone 2009/6/19 Ive got an 3G iphone. Will I be able to use it in Tokyo ? with a japanese network's simcard? What about the internet/mail/GPS services, will they be supported ? Thanks. by pp (guest) rate this post as useful 2100mhtz 2009/6/19 3G will work ONLY IF it has 2100mhtz band: NOT all 3G phones work in Japan by fmj rate this post as useful simcard for 3g 2009/6/19 My phone uses 2100mhz hsdpa. Does anyone know where can I buy a simcard for it in Tokyo. Which brand should I chose? by LKay rate this post as useful softbank 2009/6/19 Softbank has rental sim cards available at Narita Airport: http://www.softbank-rental.jp/en/index.php http://www.narita-airport.jp/en/guide/service/list/svc_... by yllwsmrf rate this post as useful 3G's in JPN 2009/8/24 It is true that 3G phones will work.... but only certain models. If you have any inquiries about it, consult you retailer. I was wondering the same thing myself to be honest.... I have a Samsung Behold from T-Mobile, and it's a quad-band GSM phone, which have gotten me worried 'cause of what it said, that Japan has no GSM network. My cell does have 3G capabilities.... but I'm still not sure about it.... by Animaster7 rate this post as useful
