using an old handset

Hello, I've literally checked like 200 posts here about using/getting mobile phones in Japan, but didn't find the answer to my question, so I decided to ask directly. I have and old handset of my friend from docomo (SH03A) which now I'm using in UK (so its probably unlocked? calls and sms works perfectly, no internet/email). I will be going to Japan for my year abroad soon and I wonder if there's any chance of getting this phone to work again? I highly doubt that the number registered to the phone is still active, I had it for 2 years now. I've read that docomo is not doing pre-paid service any more, but I wonder if anyone tried using different service providers on docomo phones? I also wonder if this is possible how does it affect internet? (after two years of using this phone I'm dying to finally use this lovely browser and other functions!) Or are there some other options?

Thank you for the response.
I think this would work, but I would loose an i-mode applications. Do you know if they do pre-paid sim crads as well? I'm going only for one year, so I cannot take a contract.
