Should my TyNT work in Japan ?

[Murcielago]

Hi,
I'm french and on a 6 days trip to Tokyo.
I cannot receive any network.
Can someone tell me if it's normal not to get anything or should I do something special to get a network ?
Thanks in advance

Hm, it -ought- to work if you're using a hermes or other quadband phone...

not sure what the issue could be without more details, but you could try creating a new modem connection to Softbank:

Not sure if this will interfere with any settings you've already got on there, however, and also not sure if/how you'll be charged.

If your phone is unlocked, I've been told by the Softbank stores in Meguro and Nakameguro that they will sell you a SIM card on a basic plan if you bring in your phone and let them test it with a Softbank SIM. I guess this wont help your net settings, however...

japan has a 3G(UMTS) network - the TyTN will work.
BUT, you need to check with your service provider that they have a roaming agreement with one of japans networks.

Once I read that Vodafone works but it's the only Italian carrier that has this option, so I guess elivne is right!
