V400 and JAPAN
🙄
Everybody calls this a "World Phone". Have any of you tried to use this phone in JAPAN?
It doesn't work there... or should I say I haven't been able to get it to work there.
I travel to Japan at least 5 times a year, I bought the V400 because it was billed as a "World Phone".
Does anybody have any idea how to get it to function in Japan?

was the phone's network on automatic? or was it on 850/1900? If it was on 850/1900 it would not have worked. It needs to be on 900/1800 or on automatic, and was the simcard international capable?

Thank you for your reply... the phone was on automatic. It searched for a network... but could not find one. I assume that the simcard is international capable, because the phone will work in Europe.
...
you prolly need to contact tech support about it.

Your phone can't be used in Japan because they use I-Mode, which is a completely different network from GSM.
