Guest jixer04 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Does anyone know if the Audiovox SMT5600 work in Japan. I am pretty sure the answer will be no but Cingular is saying, and I quote, "maybe" :) . They want to set up an international roaming package without knowing whether it will work or not. You'd think they would have a better idea than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ozzzy Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 GSM phones do not work in Japan or South Korea. They use a completely different network over there. http://www.vodafone.jp/english/ If you must have a mobile phone in Japan I would highly recommend Vodaphone. I was able to get a pre-paid phone for about 8000 yen. A 3000 yen phone card would give you about 50 minutes of talk time. Calls are 60-80 yen per minute to anywhere in the country. Most of the details are available at: http://www.vodafone.jp/english/online_shop/index.html The Vodaphone store employees are extremely courteous and helpful. Just remember to list your hotel room as place of residence. I found having a mobile phone a necessity for meeting up with friends while in Japan. Leaving messages at hotels and finding a pay phone was just too hard. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
